Saunt Hemn

Saunt Hemn is a Saunt from the Praxic Age, credited with devising "Hemn spaces," also called configuration spaces — an abstract framework offered as a general alternative to working directly with x, y, z coordinates.

First reference and context

Hemn is cited in a teaching setting where configuration spaces are introduced as a clearer way to understand motion and systems. They are contrasted with Saunt Lesper’s coordinate-based approach and with the discipline-specific six-element orbital-elements space used by cosmographers.

Contributions and ideas

• Developed general-purpose "Hemn spaces" (configuration spaces) early in the Praxic Age.
• These are abstract theorical spaces governed by action principles, intended to make the structure of problems more immediately intelligible than raw component lists of positions and velocities.
• Presented as a tool applicable beyond a single discipline, unlike the six-dimensional orbital-element space favored in cosmography.

Related figures and methods

• Contrasted with Saunt Lesper and "Saunt Lesper’s Coordinates" (an x, y, z framework used for introductory work).
