• Hope you're okay.

    (Yes, the moment someone doesn't log on for a few weeks we get worried. You can't *leave* SV.)
    Are you a secret lawyler on this board? Because your copyright post was definitely very lawyerly.

    I couldn't possibly say yes. If I did, I wouldn't be a secret lawyer anymore, now would I?

    (But no. I just enjoy researching things, and US copyright law has been one of those things on occasion.)

    I said lawyler! not lawyer!

    It was probably up to snuff at first glance, which is the important thing. Who's going to spend more effort than that on an interbutt debate?

    a) It was mostly up to snuff at first glance, which is the important thing. ^_^

    b) Well, it's 3:00 in the morning and I should be asleep, so... me, probably.
    The S thing included more than just translations. Rotations, dialations, and combinations of the three were considered.

    S can't have uncountably many of itself in the euclidean plane unless it's defined as any of a certain shape constructed according to certain rules but with variable parameters. If those parameters vary in the right way, uncountably many S's are possible.

    Oh, just the similarity-translations, then? I never did finish proving it for arbitrary affine transformations, though it seemed to be true.

    I had arbitrarily chosen two 3/4-circular arcs, conjoined only at one pair of endpoints to be C¹. (I did notice that two semicircles joined in the same way can be translated by ε>0 without self-intersection.)

    Yeah, that's what I chose too. I can probably dig up the paper and PM it to you if you want.

    The proof is more a sketch than anything formal though.
