Animating Calca 1 from Anathem in Manim

Published

The other week I finished re-reading one of my favourite books, Anathem by Neal Stephenson. I was thinking about the book again today, and it inspired me to try and learn how to use Manim so that could animate the "Cutting the Cake" Calca1 found at the end of the book.

This Calca is based on the dialogue with Meno's slave in Plato's Meno.


  1. 1.
    In Anathem, a Calca is an explanation or a lesson that is found in a footnote or appendix. ↩
