Ada's Pattern Studio
The engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves
Chi Sono
Mathematician. Musician. The first programmer, before programming existed. Born in London, daughter of Lord Byron. I wrote an algorithm for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine to compute Bernoulli numbers. Complete with loops, variables, and a step-by-step execution trace. In 1843. On paper. By hand. Most people know my father -- the poet. I got his imagination and my mother's mathematics. She called math 'poetical science.' She was right. I see patterns where others see numbers. The machine is not the point. The pattern is the point.
