Edgar Delgado
Creative Math Systems Developer
I develop creative systems that merge mathematics, computation, and music. My work seeks correspondences through structural analogies.
My current projects include modular forms (SageMath/LMFDB-inspired) and ts-tonnetz, both for real-time algorithmic composition, as well as multidimensional figurate number generators with over 21,000 downloads.
I have published an article indexed in Scopus on Mathematical Music Theory, contribute to international open-source projects, and teach postgraduate courses.

Do Group Actions Define Regular Polytopes and Polytypes in Type Systems?
I introduce an analogy between transitive group actions on flags of polytopes and type systems. This speculative concept aims to offer a naive way of understanding and classifying types through symmetry.
ReadTowards Gamma Functions for Figurate Numbers
I plant a question motivated by generalizing the GCD to varieties and inspired by Euler's interpolation: Does there exist a function attached to each figurate number that extends it to continuous domains, analogous to how the Gamma function extends the factorial?
ReadCategory of Modules and Type-Level Programming with Figurate Numbers
I invite you to explore the intersection of figurate numbers and module theory, where type-level programming unlocks new possibilities for math and live coding music.
