This video shows portal with three parts, with one part, and similiar portals. I discovered all of this myself.

I think you can make a skew monoportal. Look at your skew portals demonstration. Observe how the other side looks the same through both portals. Simply remove a piece of both portals so that their edges line up and put them together like you put together the regular monoportal.

Missed opertunity to call the supporting portals "supportals"

halfway through the video "now i'm thinking with portals

"to assemble it, you will have to rotate half of a monoportal 180 degrees in the 4th dimension"

what an ikea manual from hell looks like

If you dont get some kind of acknowledgement from Valve or even Gabe Newell himself, then I will be very disappointed.
The mind-bending mathematics and graphics programming thats required to make this work and then being able to simplify it and explain it to an audience is simply incredible.

This is such an aperture science question. I can hear cave johnson already.
"So the eggheads and i were looking at the portals, and then it hit me: What if we added another one?"

@shaharjoselevich7169 1 year ago

The idea of a monoportal with the fact that portals come from one connected surface that seperates into two sides, makes me want to create a Moebius portal.

Mathematitians and scientists: try to understand properties of teleportation and movement in space for centruies
Portal players: try to understand portal phenomena and paradoxes for years
Optozorax: There. I did it for you. And as a bonus, I made infinite more kinds of portals.

This feels like something that would happen if you combined SquishCraft with Patrick's Parabox and subtracted Sokoban. Logically straightforward, but only obvious in hindsight.

this is beautiful

you now realize that its your duty to develop a new puzzle game using these complex portals you invented, right? if you dont, no one else will, and they may be lost forever to obscurity.

I like the fact that, the way we "construct" the complex portals in this video is exactly the way we learn science (math/phys/chem) at school. We start off with the most simple concept (two-part portal), prove its validity, then use that to build up more complex concept. As long as the math is still correct the new concept (new kind portals) is also valid.

Also we have innovate portals, which means.. Portal 3 confirmed?

Like, each of these chapters could've been it's own video. Like I'm halfway starting to grasp one of em and he smashes the next one into my face. Amazing video

"It's not magic - It's made up of ordinary portals!" I love the boldness of the statement. Great video!

Imagine falling through a Skew portal and then it closes. You're just permanently like that now

@SandJosieph 1 year ago

A portal with three parts? Not if Valve has any say in it.

5:10 "...even though it seemed like such a simple thing." Мой брат во Христе you just answered a question that most people couldn't even begin to philosophize about, let alone calculate the answer to.

"The light here is not straight" is actually a very common misconception - the light is straight, the space is not. Think of a wormhole as an infinity portal, with many many linear portals stacked together to create what appears as a smooth curve!
It's an example of a multiportal, just the limit of an infinite number of them to create a smooth surface.
