I theorized it could be useful for simulating more complex patterns, but I did not have the ability or free time to write such a simulator, so it remained just a theory. <br /><br />But this week, I tried to vibecode it, with much more success than anticipated! It's still in early stages, but the tool below allows you to:<br /></p><p></p><ul><li>Parse RC notation</li><li>View the pattern as a editable table</li><li>View the pattern as a ladder diagram</li><li>Play the pattern in a simulator</li><li>Simulate throws, hits and holds from hands, feet, knees, heads, elbows, and many more body parts</li><li>Convert siteswap to RC</li><li>Try out loads of example patterns, some with reference videos</li><li>Learn about how RC works through an extensive explainer and a helpful cheatsheet</li><li>And much more!</li></ul><p>It's still a work in progress, the siteswap converter is not yet complete, the animator makes some mistakes, and I'd love to <span class="SiteSwap" title="12 object pattern">add</span> my other notation system for body throws (IMBO) to this tool too, but that's gonna take a bit more work.<br /><br />Play with it here in your browser: <a href="https://hapiel.github.io/rhythmic-catches/" rel="noopener">https://hapiel.github.io/rhythmic-catches/</a><br /><br />I'd love for your input and feedback.<br /><br />For more background about this notation system and why there is a need for yet another one, my thesis lines it all out in detail <a href="https://danielsimu.nl/research/" rel="noopener">https://danielsimu.nl/research/</a> , or for an overview, my 30m presentation on the topic flies through it: <a class="LinkedVideo" href="https://youtu.be/-J63WKB7Cog" rel="noopener">https://youtu.be/-J63WKB7Cog</a></p>See you at EJC?<br /><br />Daniel</p><p><a href="https://jugglingedge.com/smallpost.php?ParentID=27956" rel="nofollow">Post reply</a></p><p style="font-size:0.7em;">by <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/profile.php?UserID=172">Daniel Simu</a>, 2026-07-11 15:45:29</p>https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4190#Small27956https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4190#Small27956Sat, 11 Jul 2026 15:45:29 +0000<p>Hi Avan, welcome to The Edge.<br />My 5 club top tip is: remember to breathe! <br />Cheers,<br />Void</p><p><a href="https://jugglingedge.com/smallpost.php?ParentID=27955" rel="nofollow">Post reply</a></p><p style="font-size:0.7em;">by <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/profile.php?UserID=6">The Void</a>, in response to <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4189#Small27954">this post</a> 2026-07-10 07:58:55</p>https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4189#Small27955https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4189#Small27955Fri, 10 Jul 2026 07:58:55 +0000<p>Hey Jugglers,<br /><br />Just saying hi as I'm a new addition to the site and added the club I run on Sundays in Melbourne Australia.

but I’ve come to the belief that trying hardest to faithfully reproduce the physical object (regardless of the state of it) is the most valuable for future research.<br /><br />With the raw scan preserved, you can apply any future techniques to enhance it you like, but if all that’s available is an “enhanced” copy, future you is working with already lost data.</p><p><a href="https://jugglingedge.com/smallpost.php?ParentID=27899" rel="nofollow">Post reply</a></p><p style="font-size:0.7em;">by <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/profile.php?UserID=4">Little Paul</a>, in response to <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4171#Small27898">this post</a> 2026-05-31 14:55:19</p>https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4171#Small27899https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4171#Small27899Sun, 31 May 2026 14:55:19 +0000<p>Honestly, yes. Because I know that it came via you, a human, and I can (choose to) trust that you’ve put up an accurate representation of what the original document looked like. Annoying page orientations? Well, I get what I paid for, and I can be grateful.<br /><br />Once the thing has been through an LLM’s wringer, I simply can no longer trust that it hasn’t substituted a word or two, or adjusted an image slightly, or changed a few letters in the wordsearch. The LLM has no consciousness or thought, and has no concerns or checks that what it has done is “correct”. I’m not delusional, and I know that in many cases (including this one) that the output is *likely* to be accurate, but the whole point is that I can’t be certain without going over the whole thing with a fine tooth comb. Which in turn renders the whole time-saving endeavour pointless.<br /><br />All this is not even taking into account the fact that the entire concept of LLMs is built on theft, and is horribly eco-unfriendly.

Gemini confidently provides a full translation:<br /><br />Title / Subheading Context<br /><br />Unicycles are typically familiar to people as a circus trick, but a group in Matsumoto City is riding unicycles and practicing hockey in an effort to popularize it as a sport. This is the Matsumoto Unicycle Hockey Club, led by Captain Yasuo Okada, who runs a bicycle shop in Matsumoto City.<br /><br />Body of the Article<br /><br />While a passion for cycling has recently been booming among young people, the members of this club are all die-hard bicycle enthusiasts to begin with.<br /><br />The spark that led to the club's formation came from one of its members, Takafumi Ogasawara. While traveling through Europe and America by bicycle during his university days, he saw children playing on unicycles. Wanting somehow to spread this to the general public, he brainstormed ideas and came up with the concept of combining it with hockey.<br /><br />At first, just riding the unicycle was a major challenge. However, once they learned how to ride, their skills improved rapidly, aided by how fun the sport is. The club has gradually grown and currently has 12 members. Because most of them are company employees, it is quite difficult for everyone to gather for practice at the same time. However, as they claim to be the only unicycle hockey team in the world, they are currently the "world's strongest" (?) team.<br /><br />"The number of club members looks likely to increase a bit more in the near future, so once that happens, I’d like us to hold an intra-squad scrimmage," says Mr. Okada. "Because unicycling uses your entire body, it is absolutely perfect for improving mental balance and training your muscles."<br /><br />Among the club members, some occasionally use their unicycles to commute to work. However, because it is still seen as an oddity, passersby stare blankly at them, making them feel a bit embarrassed.<br /><br />The club members dream of a coming unicycle boom, noting that because unicycles are easy to carry around, cost less than half the price of a bicycle, and are great for your health, they could even be used as educational materials in schools.</p><p><a href="https://jugglingedge.com/smallpost.php?ParentID=27889" rel="nofollow">Post reply</a></p><p style="font-size:0.7em;">by <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/profile.php?UserID=1">Orinoco</a>, in response to <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4171#Small27888">this post</a> 2026-05-30 07:56:51</p>https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4171#Small27889https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4171#Small27889Sat, 30 May 2026 07:56:51 +0000<p>Nice try Claude, very smooth bulls^H^H^H^H^H logic .

The English caption added by the<br />compiler reads:<br /><br />&gt; *"Not from Europe, but maybe the oldest newspaper article about unicycle-hockey.<br />&gt; If you can translate the text, please tell me!"*<br /><br />The article is written in **Amharic** (አማርኛ), the official language of Ethiopia, using<br />the **Ge'ez (Ethiopic) script**. This makes it a remarkable and likely very early record<br />of unicycle hockey being played or demonstrated in Ethiopia — possibly in Addis Ababa.<br /><br />---<br /><br />### Notes on the Translation<br /><br />The text has been through multiple generations of reproduction: original newspaper →<br />photocopy → scanned into the booklet → scanned again to produce this digital file. As a<br />result, many individual Ethiopic characters are partially degraded and ambiguous. The<br />translation below represents a best-effort reading of the clearest portions, with<br />uncertain passages noted. A native Amharic reader working from a better copy of the<br />original newspaper would be able to provide a more complete and accurate translation.<br /><br />---<br /><br />### Translation (best effort from degraded scan)<br /><br />The article appears to be a short news or feature piece describing a unicycle hockey<br />demonstration or event. Based on the legible portions:<br /><br />**Left column (upper section):**<br />The opening lines introduce the subject as an unusual sporting activity — riders<br />balancing on single-wheeled cycles while manoeuvring a ball or puck using sticks. The<br />text describes it as a novel and entertaining spectacle. There is a reference to a group<br />or club of players, and to the skill required to simultaneously balance on the unicycle<br />and control the hockey stick.<br /><br />**Right column:**<br />This section appears to give more detail about how the game is played — the number of<br />players, the nature of the playing surface, and the objective of scoring goals. There<br />may be a reference to a specific event or demonstration at a venue, and the tone is<br />enthusiastic and descriptive, presenting the sport as something exotic and impressive<br />to an Ethiopian readership.<br /><br />**Caption beneath the photograph:**<br />The photograph shows two or more players in action. The caption (partially legible)<br />appears to describe what is shown — players competing or demonstrating the sport, likely<br />at an indoor venue.<br /><br />---<br /><br />### Script Identification<br /><br />| Feature | Detail |<br />|---|---|<br />| Script | <span class="SiteSwap" title="15 object pattern">Ge</span>'ez / Ethiopic (ግዕዝ) |<br />| Language | Amharic (አማርኛ) |<br />| Direction | Left to right |<br />| Publication | Unknown Ethiopian newspaper |<br />| Estimated date | Unknown; pre-1994 (possibly much earlier) |<br />| Topic | Unicycle hockey demonstration or event |<br /><br />---<br /><br />### Significance<br /><br />If this is indeed one of the earliest newspaper articles about unicycle hockey anywhere<br />in the world, it is a remarkable find. It suggests the sport — or at least demonstrations<br />of it — reached Ethiopia independently of the European club scene that was only formally<br />organising in 1993. The compiler's appeal for a translation in a mid-1990s photocopied<br />zine went unanswered for decades.<br /><br />---<br /><br />*Translation attempted May 2026. A full accurate translation would require a native<br />Amharic reader and a better-quality copy of the original newspaper.*</p><p><a href="https://jugglingedge.com/smallpost.php?ParentID=27886" rel="nofollow">Post reply</a></p><p style="font-size:0.7em;">by <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/profile.php?UserID=1">Orinoco</a>, 2026-05-29 22:10:22</p>https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4171#Small27886https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4171#Small27886Fri, 29 May 2026 22:10:22 +0000<p>Everybody should watch this video.</p><p><a href="https://jugglingedge.com/smallpost.php?ParentID=27885" rel="nofollow">Post reply</a></p><p style="font-size:0.7em;">by <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/profile.php?UserID=1">Orinoco</a>, in response to <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4170#Small27881">this post</a> 2026-05-29 19:22:47</p>https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4170#Small27885https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4170#Small27885Fri, 29 May 2026 19:22:47 +0000<p>What crap news.

I hope that lasted as long as possible. <br /><br />UK jugglers may know him as a crystal-ball manipulator (/yo-yoer, juggler, BMXer.. etc), stalwart of Bristol/Bungay/other conventions since the late 90s. <br /><br />I knew him as an ex-housemate, fellow performer, and lovely bloke.

It's really hard to put into conversational words, so I'm going to structure it kind of like notes, with commentary in parenthesis.<br /><br />Premise: in the same way that siteswaps are a loop of states being transformed, there should be a way to loop siteswaps via transforming them.<br /><br />A successful system will:<br />-Describe a loop of transforms, from which you can derive the root siteswaps<br /><br />The transformation:<br />- state is transformed one object at a time, so the system should parallel that.<br /> -However, what is the equivalent of an object? Is it a certain state or a certain throw?<br /> -There is a single one-throw transform and a single one-state transform<br /> (When you <span class="SiteSwap" title="12 object pattern">add</span> or subtract the period of a pattern from one throw, and when you switch the starting points of two throws. Examples are <span class="SiteSwap" title="3 object pattern">441</span> to <span class="SiteSwap" title="4 object pattern">741</span> for the first and <span class="SiteSwap" title="3 object pattern">441</span> to <span class="SiteSwap" title="3 object pattern">531</span> for the second)<br /> -Because the one-throw transform can reach a very limited number of siteswaps, the one-state transform should be used.<br /><br />Notes on the transform:<br />- When the transform is used, one object in one state of a pattern is changed into an alternate position. For example, with <span class="SiteSwap" title="3 object pattern">441</span> to <span class="SiteSwap" title="3 object pattern">531</span>, the change is (<span class="SiteSwap" title="2 object pattern">123</span>,124,134) to (<span class="SiteSwap" title="2 object pattern">123</span>,125,134).<br />-The throw that changes is the one that resulted from a 1. In the previous example, the 4 changes because it was previously in the 1 position.<br />-The object's alternate position is equal to the equivalent throw in the pattern plus one. In the example, the throw changes into a 5, because <span class="SiteSwap" title="3 object pattern">441</span>+1= <span class="SiteSwap" title="4 object pattern">552</span>, and the change is in the second state. The same transform used on <span class="SiteSwap" title="3 object pattern">612</span> would result in a 2, because <span class="SiteSwap" title="3 object pattern">612</span>+1+<span class="SiteSwap" title="4 object pattern">723</span>.<br /><br />Loops:<br />Using this transform, you can create loops of siteswaps, much like how you can create loops of states.<br />Notes on loops:<br />- These loops tend to be either underwhelming or very long, because of how small the change in each transform is.<br />-I have only found loops with an even period. (I hope that odd-period transforms exist, but I suspect that they don't)<br /><br />The notation:<br />Transforms can be notated by what the end result to the state, and what state they are performed on. In the example of <span class="SiteSwap" title="3 object pattern">441</span> to <span class="SiteSwap" title="3 object pattern">531</span>, the transform is a 5₂, because a throw in the second state is transformed into a 5. <br />Notes:<br />-You can derive the basic siteswaps using this notation, by deducing the position of their various states and throws. This can only be done when the transform creates a loop and each state has been transformed. A state won't be visible in the sequence if it hasn't been transformed; consider a siteswap where one object never moves: it might as well not be there.<br />-You can 'multiplex' a transform, doing two at the same time, up to as many as the period of the siteswap minus 1.<br /><br />End notes:<br />The system works about as well as I could hope for, since you can derive the root siteswaps from a sequence. I am, however, disappointed that you need to write two numbers per transform, and that you need to transform every state. This is still very dense, after all, you could theoretically compact 125 numbers (25 5-object states) into just 12 (6 transforms to the pattern), but in a perfect world, you would only need one number per siteswap.<br /><br />The reason there are these limits, I believe, is that states have a natural decay and "active position". Every object in a state is automatically transformed downwards because of gravity, and there's only one possible object you can throw at any one time (the one at position '1'). Siteswaps as a whole have no such decay, and you can place transforms any way you like, on any state. This lack of rules means that you can't pack it quite as densely with information as a siteswap, and it also means that if you wanted to <span class="SiteSwap" title="12 object pattern">add</span> another layer, that is, notate a loop of looped siteswap transforms, you would need to use a far greater number of characters, making it extremely impractical and very unwieldy.<br /><br />As it is, the system is already mostly impractical, making too small of changes to be productive and taking too much work to decipher (However, I do find it fun, as a sort of logic puzzle, to figure out what siteswaps a given sequence contains). There are also some open questions I have, for instance, is there a rule for transform-sequence validity? On top of that, I haven't named the system (I've considered Stateswap, but the words are so similar it would just get confusing). <br /><br />Perhaps if there was some kind of fifth-dimensional time/gravity, even if we had to imagine it up, the system could be more useful (or at least compact), but for now it can remain as a fun curiosity.<br /><br />Example of a sequence (Can you figure out the siteswaps?):<br />[6₁2₃][2₁3₂]5₂3₃<br /><br />There's a <span class="SiteSwap" title="17 object pattern">high</span> chance I've explained something horribly, so questions are very welcome. And if there are any other ideas related to this, I'd of course love to hear and discuss them.</p><p><a href="https://jugglingedge.com/smallpost.php?ParentID=27870" rel="nofollow">Post reply</a></p><p style="font-size:0.7em;">by <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/profile.php?UserID=1547">RustyJuggling</a>, 2026-05-14 22:06:35</p>https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4166#Small27870https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4166#Small27870Thu, 14 May 2026 22:06:35 +0000<p>Dragging the camera around, and the tortoise slo-mo are neat.</p><p><a href="https://jugglingedge.com/smallpost.php?ParentID=27869" rel="nofollow">Post reply</a></p><p style="font-size:0.7em;">by <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/profile.php?UserID=6">The Void</a>, in response to <a href="https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4165#Small27865">this post</a> 2026-05-13 17:23:59</p>https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4165#Small27869https://jugglingedge.com/forum.php?ThreadID=4165#Small27869Wed, 13 May 2026 17:23:59 +0000<p>[OT: Coo.

It turned into something I want to share, so here it is!<br /><br />It’s like the website but it works better and doesn’t need an internet connection. The idea is that it animates siteswaps (two handed or four handed visualistions are available), and it gives you buttons to press so you can explore any of multiple ‘next’ siteswaps. You get buttons that apply to each siteswap, so you can just click things and see what happens. There are no wrong answers.<br /><br />A new feature that’s not on the web version is sound: it plays a note for each throw, going a semitone higher for each throw duration. I’m not sure if that makes it a musical instrument!<br /><br />For the iPhone/iPad version you can get it for free from the App Store: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/siteswap-explorer/id1549451272" rel="noopener">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/siteswap-explorer/id1549451272</a><br /><br />Android is a bit more complicated. The app will only be publicly available when I have satisfied Google’s rules. At least 12 people have to have the test version for at least 14 days. You can get access to the test version by joining this google group: <a href="https://groups.google.com/g/siteswapexplorer" rel="noopener">https://groups.google.com/g/siteswapexplorer</a><br /><br />Once you join that group, you’ll automatically be able to find the test version on the Play Store. I’ll make it properly available as soon as Google allow. It would really help me if you opt in! It needs a <span class="SiteSwap" title="5 object pattern">64</span> bit Android device.<br /><br />The web version will continue to be available at <a href="https://siteswapexplorer.com" rel="noopener">https://siteswapexplorer.com</a>.
