I'm pretty sure you could continue using circles indefinitely if you also go up a dimension. So 4 spheres can intersect into 16 regions. And in general you can represent N sets with N number of (N-1)-Spheres since dimensionality grows exponentially too. It's a totally different direction than you took in your video, but interesting to think about.
@Joshua Johnson imagine four spheres arranged in a tetrahedron with equal radii such that all have enough overlap that atleast a point exists in the range of all four.

5:02 I spent some time thinking about this statement, and realized that if any ellipse is removed, one of the opposite ellipses’ head will stick out from the center and create an extra unwanted region. For example, removing E does not merge the region EB (a red one on the left) into B.
@@CarmenLC yes, but it will be contradictory. Each region of a venn diagram is supposed to represent one single set, only, likewise, one set can only be represented by one region. This extra space will create a scenario where there’s two regions representing one set. Which shouldn’t be
@@bobh6728 think of it like making a cross with two ellipses. We’re only using two to simplify the visualization. The middle part is where they intersect which is fine, but the arms and legs of the cross that are sticking out is the problem. Both outter parts of each ellipse represent the same thing, yet they’re two different regions which shouldn’t be in a Venn diagram. Hence why that isn’t considered a Venn diagram.

Years ago, I was curious how many regions would exist in a venn diagram with n values, and made a little spreadsheet with a formula to figure it out for me. Took awhile, but I figured it out. Neat that someone made a video about it. Really shows that I'm not alone in my random wondering.
@@manuvillada5697 Let us consider a diagram on n sets. Let us consider a set A, A shares a region with every possible combination of other sets and there are 2^(n-1) such combinations. For a different set B, we have to count combinations again, but exclude those containing A, so there are 2^(n-2). So, we want the sum of 2^(n-i) for i from 1 to n, or more simply, the sum of 2^i for i from 0 to n-1, which gives 2^n - 1 (or just 2^n if you consider the outer set) Another way to think of this is that any element can be in any combination of these n sets (potentially in none of them) so again we get 2^n (for any set it is either in it or it isn't so each set has 2 valid states and so there are 2^n valid states altogether)

Nice work! I thought this was going to go in the direction of higher dimensions, e.g. 4 spheres arranged in a pyramid. You can just keep adding dimensions, but of course beyond 4 spheres the usefulness of what you produce as diagrams is pretty questionable. :)
Spatially, you need 3 dimensions at least. 4 spherical volumes tetrahedrally arranged. In general, N-1 dimensions for N spherical volumes N-hedrically arranged.
Or which constructions result in practically sized and shaped regions for actual use displaying data. :D Perhaps optimize for both minimal SD of the areas of each region (except the purely exterior region), and minimal SD of some function which assesses how similar to a circle each region is?
@@StrategicGamesEtc To be fair, it's the circle that got us in trouble in the first place. The radical solution is to optimise similarity in overall area, but completely throw out the devotion to circles: have some sort of chain or knot configuration with some interesting symmetry, but not a circle in sight. (And find different standard shapes for the number of shapes required.)
When I took a class that was part Boolean Algebra and part circuit design, they taught us about Veitch diagrams (which I see have now been replaced with Karnaugh diagrams). They work pretty well for up to about six sets, with each set represented by rectangles, some of them wrapping around the opposite edges of regions.

I've been bothered by 4 circle "venn diagrams" for years. Have put a little thought on how to accurately represent the intersection of independent variables better, but not _much_. So this was both interesting to learn about, and satisfyingly vindicating for that minor annoyance lmao.
Actually the construction described in the video allows any area to have the desired size, since you can either (if you want equi-sized regions) draw each curve in such a way that it splits each region from the prior step in two, or (if you want the regions to represent the "amount" of data-points lying within them) you can tally up before drawing an aditional curve how "much"/"many" data-points are in each of the newly created areas in total (including subareas) and devide the area accordingly. A related question, which I wasnt able to find an answer for is how to opimize for largeness of the smallest largest open balls contained in the subareas as well as the smallness of the largest smallest closed balls containing a subarea.
I wonder if a venn diagram for four sets can be drawn with circles if one draws on something that isn't a Euclidean plane, as I think two circles can intersect at least four times on a sphere
@@giveme30dollars A non-Euclidean plane is not adding a 3rd dimension though, you can still only move in 2 dimensions on a plane of a sphere, there's still no up and down as you're supposed to stay on the plane ;)
@@giveme30dollars Don't think of the mathematical plane as a physical object (or anything in math, really) while we usually depict it to understand it better, it really is only described by its characteristics, among them, that the plane only possesses two coordinates, two dimensions; therefore, any mathematical concept that can be expressed with only (and strictly) two coordinates is a plane.

Venn was a Don at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge in England. Later, another Don (A.W.F. Edwards) from Caius wrote a very illuminating book about Venn diagrams entitled "Cogwheels of the Mind - The story of Venn Diagrams". In it he shows various forms of Venn diagram and, in particular shows a general method for drawing 4, 5, 6, ... etc set Venn diagrams. There is an Asymptote/Latex script for generating an example and I also (out of boredom as much as anything) wrote a script to draw them using the regular context line drawing commands and also using SVG in HTML/Javascript. I wish I could paste an example here.
I realized this when I tried to draw a 4 set venn diagram... using ASCII characters while commenting some code XD I wanted to use the diagram as a "quick way to visualize" some data, and ended up spending hours in a rabbit hole on how to draw them instead! Still, this video made everything much clearer
Make the opposite one for example A and C, intersect the other in a way that no other intersections are made, like a placement of the circle to be in the opposite corner. Though this may not be the point of this as this requires two of at least two circles/regions. This is the easiest way I believe
This video opened my eyes 👀. Because i study IT, there i learn about numeral technology, and this is very, but very related! Thanks 🙏 Liked, commented, subbed!
We draw 4 set venn diagram with a 3×3 square matrix and then connect alternate rows and alternate columns with semicircles, outside the matrix (I don't know if that's the right description). It makes it way more easy to understand than circles and Ellipses.
1. A regular polygon with n sides can intersect itsef anywhere from 0-2n times in intervals of 2. Thus a cirle which is the limit for such a polygon as n goes to infinity can intersect itself any necesary amount of times. 2. A vandiagram with n Sets can be constructet by placing equally sized n-2 spheres at the verticies of a n-1 Simplex. In such a construct the verticies represent the single sets, the edges the Union between two adjacent set and the d'th Extension of a vertex the Union betwen d sets. The n-1 simplex itself is the Union of all sets of the diagram
Another diagram idea: For any diagram in dimension k of n sets, to make a diagram of n+1 sets, increase the dimension to k+1, duplicate the diagram in the k+1 coordinate, make sure the two diagrams are separate, and name the resulting k+1 "plane" as n+1. For example, take a 3 set diagram in R^2. Change to R^3, setting the z-coordinates of the 3 set diagram to 0. Copy the 3 set diagram onto the plane z=3, and name the plane at z=3 what the 4th set is. This quickly becomes hard to visualize, so here's a coordinate expression: Since there are a countable number of sets, order the n sets from a_1 to a_n. For each set, choose 1 to include it and 0 to exclude it. So the coordinates of the first set by itself are D(1,0,0,0,0,0.....,0) and the coordinates of a_1 intersect a_2 are D(1,1,0,0,0,0,0,....,0). Naturally, the coordinates of no sets is D(0,0,0,.....,0). Exercises left to the reader: Suppose there existed a dimension that contained all natural numbered dimensions (R^n for all n in N) and call it R^infinity. Do there exist diagrams of dimension R^infinity? If so, how many are there? If not, why not? If there was a dot on the real number line for each coordinate in R^infinity , what is the thickness of all these dots (e.g., the "thickness" of intervals [1,3] or [2,4] is 3-1=4-2=2 units)?
I'm pretty sure you could continue using circles indefinitely if you also go up a dimension. So 4 spheres can intersect into 16 regions. And in general you can represent N sets with N number of (N-1)-Spheres since dimensionality grows exponentially too. It's a totally different direction than you took in your video, but interesting to think about.
Well hello there
A Sphere would have the same problem... but you could draw the circles on a sphere thou.
This was also the solution readily apparent to myself as well in the first minute. It's all a matter of perspective.
@Joshua Johnson imagine four spheres arranged in a tetrahedron with equal radii such that all have enough overlap that atleast a point exists in the range of all four.
The problem is to draw more dimensions on the plane.
It breaks the graphical utility of the diagram.

Liked, commented, subbed!
I'm glad I got recommendation of this video!
U got a new subscriber:)
Extraordinary, simply extraordinary.
What a wonderful video on a topic I had no idea would be so interesting. You've earnt a subscriber and an algorithm-boosting comment!
I want to see more of those alternative graphs... Edward, Hamburger, and GKS.
I saw the thumbnail, tried, succeeded, and now watch the video
I'm liking this just for the thumbnail.
I've finally found a use for this
And… I couldn't remember how it was done :(
I needed to watch the video again
The diagrams helps...
But most importantly, that da da da dadadada classical pieces which I have been looking for ages. Thanks!
thanks so much for adding captions to your videos.
try not to put stuff in captions if it's not being said though. put that in the video itself
This is great educational math TH-cam.
We draw 4 set venn diagram with a 3×3 square matrix and then connect alternate rows and alternate columns with semicircles, outside the matrix (I don't know if that's the right description). It makes it way more easy to understand than circles and Ellipses.
1. A regular polygon with n sides can intersect itsef anywhere from 0-2n times in intervals of 2. Thus a cirle which is the limit for such a polygon as n goes to infinity can intersect itself any necesary amount of times.
2. A vandiagram with n Sets can be constructet by placing equally sized n-2 spheres at the verticies of a n-1 Simplex.
In such a construct the verticies represent the single sets, the edges the Union between two adjacent set and the d'th Extension of a vertex the Union betwen d sets. The n-1 simplex itself is the Union of all sets of the diagram
Having to do this with n-2 dimensional spheres in n dimensions is a bit of a hassle... Especially if you want to portray it in 2d...
Great video! Really nicely laid out.
I never thought about that specifically but always used irregular figures and disjoint subsets for the 4th set. Never bothered about the circles 😅.
Another diagram idea: For any diagram in dimension k of n sets, to make a diagram of n+1 sets, increase the dimension to k+1, duplicate the diagram in the k+1 coordinate, make sure the two diagrams are separate, and name the resulting k+1 "plane" as n+1.
For example, take a 3 set diagram in R^2. Change to R^3, setting the z-coordinates of the 3 set diagram to 0. Copy the 3 set diagram onto the plane z=3, and name the plane at z=3 what the 4th set is.
This quickly becomes hard to visualize, so here's a coordinate expression: Since there are a countable number of sets, order the n sets from a_1 to a_n. For each set, choose 1 to include it and 0 to exclude it. So the coordinates of the first set by itself are D(1,0,0,0,0,0.....,0) and the coordinates of a_1 intersect a_2 are D(1,1,0,0,0,0,0,....,0). Naturally, the coordinates of no sets is D(0,0,0,.....,0).
Exercises left to the reader: Suppose there existed a dimension that contained all natural numbered dimensions (R^n for all n in N) and call it R^infinity.
Do there exist diagrams of dimension R^infinity?
If so, how many are there?
If not, why not?
If there was a dot on the real number line for each coordinate in R^infinity , what is the thickness of all these dots (e.g., the "thickness" of intervals [1,3] or [2,4] is 3-1=4-2=2 units)?
Very good video! Subscribed to see more content like this!
I'm really interested in seeing the proof about the convex polygons, mentioned at 13:20 ^^
cool! I was just thinking about this a few months ago during my statistics course!
4 Venn diagrams looks like it's chapter of manual for "Keep talking and nobody explodes" about complicated wires
cool vid. love induction type solutions to this type of stuff. and that nonconstructable 5 ellipse diagram was cool.
love this! I miss learning mathmatics since I left highschool
This is like school (which I don't understand) but literally better
This video is honestly amazing
