Ley Lines and Computing |
 | | Watkins hypothesized that ley lines were the sighting points for a vast network of "straight tracks" that covered prehistoric England, and his book includes several crossroads used as ley points and instances of dirt pathways uncovered in the course of sewer excavation (Watkins 1948:38-39). |
| | His 200 random point run found that 752 three-point, 33 four-point and 2 five-point ley lines existed by chance alone, and suggested that Watkins' criterion of a five-point ley being almost impossible was unrealistic for large collections of points. |
| | The Hough array I used was 1000 by 1000, and the x and y values of random points were uniformly distributed between -.5 and +.5 units; thus r varied from -.5 û2 to +.5 û2. |
