Von Neumann's Elephant
en.wikipedia.orgThinking in software dev terms. It says four parameters and then the solution provided in the Wiki starts with "let's use complex numbers" and lands with what the normies call 8 numbers.
I am pretty sure they can come up with some other math concept which packs 8 numbers into one, not four.

Yes, those are called octonions.
Though I don't know if anyone has tried to use one to draw an elephant.
Surely if you're using octonions you have to draw a....squid! Or possibly some other cephalopod.
How about just one parameter! https://pubs.aip.org/aip/adv/article/8/9/095118/22887/One-pa...
I enjoyed that a lot, thanks for sharing! Given arbitrary precision, the number of parameters becomes meaningless as a measure of model complexity, and even this one-parameter equation has infinite VC dimension.
