Edgar Delgado
Creative Math Systems Developer
I develop creative systems that merge mathematics, computation, and music through structural analogies.
All for real-time algorithmic composition, my current projects include modular forms (SageMath/LMFDB-inspired) and multidimensional figurate number generators with over 26,000 downloads, as well as ts-tonnetz.
I have published a Scopus-indexed article in Mathematical Music Theory, serve as a peer reviewer for The European Physical Journal, contribute to international open-source projects, and teach postgraduate courses.

Perfectoid Rings Breakdance in Sonic Pi?
number algorithmsI move through perfectoid rings, p-adic towers, and the Frobenius map, wondering if any of it could ever end up in Sonic Pi’s sandbox.
Do Group Actions Define Regular Polytopes and Polytypes in Type Systems?
Type-Level GeometryI 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.
Towards Gamma Functions for Figurate Numbers
number algorithmsI 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?
