    Towards 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?

    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.
