The Geometry of Intelligence: What Lagrange Can Teach Modern AI

In 1772, Joseph-Louis Lagrange solved a piece of the three-body problem that had stumped everyone before him. He didn't solve it by tracking forces. He solved it by finding the five points in the gravitational field of two large bodies where a third, smaller body can sit stably - held in place not by any single pull, but by the balance of all of them. These are the Lagrange points. They are where…
