'''Hjeonvix Rjoht''' (/hjʌnviɬ rjoht/ fT 2236 – fT 2316 (aged 80)) was a [[Chick Corean]] mathematician, composer and music theorist. Among Clotricians, she is often regarded as the greatest woman composer and mathematician who ever lived.
'''Segin Þwhgad''' (born fT 2438; aged 37) is a [[Sowaár]]-born [[Verse:Tricin/Fyxoom|Fyxoomian]] composer.
 
==Traits==
*Basically a 20th-century mathematician living in the 18th or 19th century
*funny but is a bit of a jerk - is a colorful figure overall
*attractiveness: 6/10; not very feminine at all
*typical outfit?
**"18th-century" "outdoors" outfit - with leather and metal
*Languages: - not a lot of languages, only enough to read most Talman mathematical literature and give lectures
** [[Chick Corean]] (native speaker)
** a Varrkkúnic language (non-native speaker)
** [[Varrkkún]] (can read)
 
==Historical backdrop==
===Mathematics===
How much of math have they axiomatized - Set theory or an equivalent axiomatization.
 
Do they have category theory? - No, but they are close to having it.
 
What algebra/number theory/geometry stuff do they know?
 
*Algebra and geometry (pre-university)
*Physics
*Calculus; real and complex analysis (thanks to [[Verse:Aodhàn Càdlàg|Càdlàg]] and [Netagin guy X])
*They just got abstract algebra
 
===Music===
What composers had been there? What styles, textures and harmony had they used?


==Early life and education==
==Early life and education==
Hjeonvix was born in the city of Flijeon (in the principality of Éise) to a semi-aristocratic background as the third of four children. Her father, Fúnchíd Hjeonvix, was a mathematics professor in the University of Flijeon who would compose in his spare time. Her mother, Osraí Brinne, was a socialite, classical ''ngjeoms'' player and music teacher. Her father's father, Tafágh Hjeonvix, was an army officer, and her mother's brother, Lothair Brinne, was a ''sjogreo'' player.
Þwhgad was born in the city of 'Onápaam in Sowaárp''í...
 
A precocious tomboy, early on Reocht was taught mathematics and ''ngjeoms'' by her parents.  She started auditing music and math classes before she was 5. She was to a large extent self-taught in the boarding school math and music curriculum, seeking out math and music books to read in libraries, music to listen to, and instruments to learn to play. She was allowed to skip boarding school and to enroll in the University of Flijeon at age 10 by taking an entrance exam, and specialized in mathematics at age 16.
 
Around graduation, Hjeonvix began to study with composers such as Cosca Síomha and to develop a musical language characterized by showy, adventurous harmony. She was also skilled in counterpoint, which was already evident in her first "string quartet" (= piece for three ''ngjeoms'' and one ''ngjeomsam'', typically structured in several movements) which she finished at 16. In fT 2252 she attempted to win the prestigious composition prize ''[prize]'', but failed<!--; her entry was deemed "too abstract for one to judge her capability of expression"-->. 4 On her second attempt in fT 2255 (at age 19) she won the prize with her ''[some cantata or mini-opera]'', marking the first time ''[prize]'' was won by a woman.
 
After winning ''[prize]'' Hjeonvix returned to the University of Flijeon as a doctoral student in mathematics, and was awarded a doctorate for her dissertation ''[something about algebraic curves?]'' (fT 2261) under the supervision of Zaftseor Lik. Shortly thereafter, Hjeonvix accepted habilitation in the mathematics department of the University of Flijeon.
 
==Later life==
<!-- In fT 2285 (aged 48) Hjeonvix moved to Clofabolocin (by horse and buggy) and became a professor in Semaxan University (''semaxanol savtuprazan''). -->In fT 2300 (aged 63), she retired from her academic career and secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition. She lived in a house in Sŋórán until she died of a stroke in fT 2316 (aged 80).
 
==Compositions==
Hjeonvix’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 250 works in total. Many of her works are chamber music and songs. Her style was described as “constrained composition” by critics, as she often tried to optimize for both economy/efficiency and expressiveness.
 
Hjeonvix could only compose at a limited pace during her academic career. Much of her œuvre comes from after she retired; she was quite prolific during this period.
 
(Many of her “high-level” tempo markings and staff directions are in her native Tíogall – while “low-level” ones such as dynamics markings remain in Netagin.)
 
*''9 [[Xaetjeon]] Dances''
*6 string trios
*12 string quartets
*12 string quintets
 
<!--
*Chamber music (70)
*Solo pieces (32)
*Vocal music
**''Foscúgáil'' (34)
**Choral music (25)
*Orchestral music (40)
*One opera
 
Her firsts as a composer:
*Used some rank-2 temperaments for the first time in Talmic music. (Is this realistic before precise pitch measurement/the invention of computers?)
As tuning theorist
* Wrote the treatise Linear Temperaments (Tíogall: [], literally “Vector temperaments”?), formalizing the concept of linear temperaments, as a generalization of JI and some particular examples of temperaments.-->
 
<!--
==As music theorist==
-->


==Mathematical output==
Around graduation, Þwhgad began to study with composers. In fT 2255 he participated in the regional composition competition ''Farca Cøøve'' and won first prize.
Hjeonvix contributed to algebra, number theory, and algebraic geometry.


Some Grothendieckian stuff?
==Current life and work==
Þwhgad is currently a freelance composer. His main interest is imagining music in fictional cultures. Among the general public he is fairly well-known for his film and video game scores. Þwhgad's most iconic works include his (the sci-fi musical drama).


Analytic number theory?
Þwhgad runs a blog on music and composition.


Theorems she is responsible for:
==Discography==
[Outsourcing.]
*An opera is based on ''Dobot'och'', a popular sci-fi series about a sentient race with a biological caste system. (premise stolen from Amenta)
*An opera based on the life of a fictional Ramanujan figure.


==Personal life==
==Personal life==
A lesbian, Hjeonvix never married a man or had children. <!--Owing to her temperament (no pun intended) and superficial charm, her relationships were many but typically short-lived. Her lovers-->She had a handful of female lovers which were usually artists, writers or scientists.
Þwhgad currently lives with Mavor Heðrys, an artist and architect.
