gollark: My calculator says it is → it must be.
gollark: There's a Discord server for *polytopes*? That seems weirdly specific.
gollark: That doesn't seem horrible. They have to be 6n + something, and can't be +2 or +4 (even) or +3 (multiple of 3) or +0 or +6 (multiple of 2 *and* 3).
gollark: This is somewhat helpful, thanks.
gollark: Also, can someone comprehensibly explain what a "tensor" is? I hear about them a lot, but Wikipedia says something incomprehensible about multilinear maps and I remember reading something useless like that a "tensor is something that transforms like a tensor".
