Mathematics and Narrative (continued)

Angels & Demons meet Hudson Hawk

Dan Brown's four-elements diamond in Angels & Demons :

The Leonardo Crystal from Hudson Hawk :

Hudson:

Mathematics may be used to relate (very loosely)
Dan Brown's fanciful diamond figure to the fanciful
Leonardo Crystal from Hudson Hawk …

• Compare Brown's fictional Illuminati Diamond  to the
  nonfictional figures in The Diamond Theorem and
  Theme and Variations.
• Compare the fictional Leonardo Crystal to Hudson's
  nonfictional desmic system  of tetrahedra (above), and
  see, in Rosenhain and Göpel Tetrads in PG(3,2), how
  the diamond theorem is related to Hudson's work.
  For the tetrads ' relationship to tetrahedra , see 
  Hudson's own book.

"Giving himself a head rub, Hawk bears down on
the three oddly malleable objects. He TANGLES 
and BENDS and with a loud SNAP, puts them together,
forming the Crystal from the opening scene."

— A screenplay of Hudson Hawk

Happy birthday to Bruce Willis.
