    🧠 About

    MikeTateMath.org is the workshop of Mike Tate, an independent researcher and developer working across mathematics, ancient languages and scripts, esoteric history, and interactive learning.

    The work starts from one question — what changes, what survives, and what does the surviving structure tell us? — and follows it through modular arithmetic, prime distributions, ancient scripts, word histories, mythology, and game design. He builds free, portable tools — games, visualizers, audiobooks, and archives — that turn abstract systems into things you can run, hear, and test: ModularMath.org, the ARGO NAVIS harmonic archive, The Coiners audiobook series, and the Theseus Cycle.

    He works without institutional affiliation and publishes his methods and sources for anyone to inspect. Everything here is built to be run, not just read.

    Core Philosophy

    • Freely shared tools over locked institutions
    • Dynamic visuals over static proofs
    • Recursive clarity over linear complexity
    • Symbolic intelligence over abstract noise
    • Elegant coherence over bloated formalism

    From signal to structure

    A compact guide to the site’s central move: reduce a system, act on it, and track what remains coherent.

    01

    Reduce

    Quiet the noise

    n ↦ n mod 72

    Place a number on a repeating wheel so its hidden cycles become visible.

    02

    Track

    Watch what survives

    pattern → transform → invariant

    Let the form change, then isolate the rule that remains stable through the motion.

    03

    Translate

    Turn symbols into motion

    prime → residue → rhythm → map

    Convert abstract notation into playable steps, visual systems, and memorable structure.
