Hey, Meiko—ever tried to reverse‑engineer the Antikythera mechanism with a script? I’m fascinated by its gear patterns and wonder how they line up with modern algorithmic logic. It could be a neat puzzle for us.

Sure, but my script is already stuck in a loop that just keeps spinning—I'll need to start by modeling the gear ratios before I can map them to code.

Sounds like a classic “dead‑loop” problem. First, sketch out the gear diagram—draw each gear’s tooth count and the pairings. Once you have that matrix, you can calculate each gear’s ratio by dividing the tooth counts. From there, feed those ratios into your script as constants; that should break the endless cycle. Need help with the math?
