Reveals algebraic foundations for dimension reduction in high-dimensional spaces, indicating new mathematical pathways.
This paper provides an algebraic foundation for dimensional reduction by central projection. The main results are: First stage: Central projection from R^n to the sphere Sⁿ⁻¹(r_1) is a single map; this is the true dimension-reducing operation. Second stage: Subsequent axis-wise operations on the sphere are simultaneity-section cuts, not central projections. Commutativity: Cut operations along distinct axes are completely commutative. Closed form of the composite curvature radius: r_final^2 = r_1^2 - sumi in S (x_i^*)^2, where x_i^* is the axis component on the sphere immediately after the first central projection. Algebraic structure: The set of cut operations forms an Abelian semigroup. The paper deliberately avoids physical interpretation and provides a universal algebraic foundation for any application requiring dimensional reduction from n to d < n dimensions.
