shred it into pieces ! lmao

Kudos for the well-placed hunch!

Google AI. Trust me bros, he said something along those lines. Understanding Godel's proof is terribly challenging even for teenage Chaitin.

Found this lovely anecdote

>Robert J. Marks: So you cold called him then. [...]

>Gregory Chaitin: So he said, “Okay, send me a paper of yours on this topic. I’ll take a look at it. And if like it, maybe I’ll give you an appointment to visit.” [...] So he had taken a look at it and immediately perceived a crucial aspect of the definition of complexity that I was proposing. And he gave me an appointment. [...]

>Gregory Chaitin: I was all set for the great day — and it snowed! And this was the week before Easter. So that’s unusual, a spring snowstorm but it wasn’t a big snowstorm. Nothing was going to stop me from visiting my hero. So there I am in my office at the IBM Watson Center, about to leave. I figured out how much time I needed. About to leave and unfortunately — very unfortunately — the phone rang. It was Gödel ’s secretary saying Gödel is very careful with his health. And because it snowed, he’s not coming in to his office today. And therefore your appointment is canceled.

>So that was a surreal experience. And there was no way to reschedule because I was going to leave just in a few days, heading back to Argentina, to Buenos Aires. But actually this surreal story actually fits better Gödel and his legend, because for example, when Gödel died, they found lots of answers typed up to letters he received, but were never sent. They were never mailed. So there was a surreal quality to Gödel and to communicating with Gödel.

>Three Conjectures on Unexpectedeness

>Unexpectedness is a central concept in Simplicity Theory, a theory of cognition relating various inferential processes to the computation of Kolmogorov complexities, rather than probabilities. Its predictive power has been confirmed by several experiments with human subjects, yet its theoretical basis remains largely unexplored: why does it work? This paper lays the groundwork for three theoretical conjectures. First, unexpectedness can be seen as a generalization of Bayes' rule. Second, the frequentist core of unexpectedness can be connected to the function of tracking ergodic properties of the world. Third, unexpectedness can be seen as constituent of various measures of divergence between the entropy of the world (environment) and the variety of the observer (system).

> So when people tell me they’re doing 90 hour work weeks what that tells me is they’re just harming themselves to be in an office for an unhealthy length of time, hoping it translates into something productive.

This is exactly what my colleagues thought. And then I left and everybody was distributed overtime work, so the leads left too. Projects that took 2 weeks suddenly took 6 months (or so told me the lead who was taking up my work, giggling out of shame). The company, which thought it could match competition with only 1/5th of human resources, started to do a series of bad investments to occupy the market. Eventually the board poured a couple dozen millions to save the company from the human resource dead-end it put itself into (I was managing 4 "microservices") and went bust a couple years later.

That puff in the torus is just about right!

Unfortunately this is cloth so it's computationally demanding and I have since then lost what made this animation so satisfying (still iterating on it though!).

I managed to obtain more terrific assembly animations

and looking at it I think I need to start recording myself producing suctions sounds in sync with the inflation process whenever I click on the 'Inflate' button. So that when I have enough data, I can train a neuralnet to produce those sounds. That would be pretty awesome.

siiiiiuuuuuuuuuuccppfifffffhhhshsshsh. Ahahaha

M: Mr Gödel is telling you that the theorem limits formal systems. So you see your intelligence as a formal system, as a machine?

H (pompously): Indeed. I have the impression that everything I do ought to be done by a machine, which could moreover speak just as well in my place.

G: From where I am, it is difficult to tell whether you exist or whether you are the virtual creation of a GAT - a Generator of Automatic Truisms. Intelligence does not exist without error, perhaps even without obstinacy in error; but who would take the risk of giving a computer that kind of psychology? As for the incompleteness theorem, it certainly did not foresee bad-tempered theories...

Damn.

> Now to return to that strange and crude mysticism, which, as I have said above, took hold of Empress Alexandra and with which she infected her august spouse. In the course of my stay in Paris in 1903 I had long talks with Baron Alphonse, the septuagenarian head of the Rothschild house. Our conversation mostly revolved around the preoccupation with the occult and the mystic which had taken root at the Russian Court, this being, in the Baron's opinion, a bad symptom. He repeatedly returned to this subject. History shows, he pointed out, that great events, especially of an internal nature, were always and everywhere preceded by the prevalence of a bizarre mysticism at the court of the ruler.

The Memoirs of Count Witte

> Whoever has had the opportunity of studying the concealed feelings of persons by means of psychoanalysis can also tell something new con­cerning the quality of unconscious motives, which express themselves in superstition. Nervous persons afflicted with compulsive thinking and compulsive states, who are often very intelligent, show very plainly that superstition originates from repressed hostile and cruel impulses. The greater part of superstition signifies fear of impending evil, and he who has frequently wished evil to others, but because of a good bringing-up has repressed the same into the unconscious, will be particularly apt to expect punishment for such unconscious evil in the form of a mis­fortune threatening him from without.

I know you are suspicious enough that eventually you'll doubt yourself and your initial reaction, but I'm also ready to bet that the reaction is so visceral you'll be reticent to follow up directly with me, so in this case, look up "recursive coherence" you'll find plenty of adjacent theories, in various styles, domains and degrees of rigor.

Yours is remarkably devoid of any ontological claim and tries to stay strictly in the domain of mathematics, which is not frequent. Others approach it in terms of physics, ecology, sociology and even psychology and personal development. Don't discard them too quickly for these reasons. Unusual ideas often go hand in hand with certain thought paths that form a life path and in the process give shape to personality. The sobriety of your framework is inversely proportional to how much you know it tells about yourself. This is a quality! The sobriety. And it came at a cost – if only for the time spent developing it in isolation. Not anyone does this.

As for the feeling of being diagnosed, every man has in his back a fish for other men to witness. It becomes visible when the ideas he articulates inform others of the paths he followed to reach them. Conservation of energy implies path insensitivity and thus a certain class of paths, a type. A type of man.

I'm a Zipf nut. I use this derogatory statement for myself as a measure of sanity. The Zipf distribution is spectacularly ambiguous, and I can name several well-respected and established scholars that I consider to be Zipf nuts too. But you don't need to look further than Zipf himself to find the first specimen. He was obsessed with his discovery, he kept finding it everywhere because it's everywhere. And this could only fuel the obsession, yes reality gets as crazy as this. It's because he was challenged this way and for all the time he sunk into this subject that I think he wrote a paper titled "The repetition of words, time-perspective, and semantic balance", and suggested to use his findings to study "personality variants".

Hey I think know what you're attempting to do here. I ... suspect you may be some kind of trisector (https://www.ufv.ca/media/faculty/gregschlitt/information/Wha...). A very successful one at that! Please don't be offended by the snarky remarks in this PDF nor by the comparison itself. I think I'm a kind of trisector myself, except that I'm more interested in trisectors themselves than in whatever is being trisected. That is in fact the only reason I think I understand what EchoKey is about.

You're not the only person I've seen pursuing a project like this. We're living through strange times in which people independently arrive at theories of composition, that quite don't fit together because you can compose as hard as you want, the gap between the real and the symbolic is conserved and is free to vary from one individual's imagination to another. At least this is my take. Composition may be a larger concept than applied categoricians tend to assume, and one question that could be asked in EchoKey is: can composition be expressed symbolically in a closed form, or is it essentially semiotic, i.e. it can't stabilize on a definition because it has to be iteratively revised?

The people I have in mind and that I think we're part of all have a certain definition, a specific theory of the same thing that is somehow always incomplete, often isolating in that it's a kind of rock we push with us with the perspective however diffuse of reaching some place in the relational or even affective domain. I'm not sure how to put it. My latest idea is "energy as the epistemic invariant of theoretical extension". I don't think we'll be able to figure out anything without what we end up with also amounting to composing with each other, because deep down energy is what we observe to remain when decomposable objects are routed through decomposable processes that once rerouted and recomposed preserve the same thing: the intactness of being as that which never changes through the processes it takes part in, and which allows us to stitch, without gaps or overlaps, the ever-extensible fabric of the world as the frontier containing all processes.

Is this realizable? Or just a dream? I'm not sure, it's a beautiful reality. Reality, not idea, what we are, not what we think. I'm hopeful this can happen and if I'm not mistaken you and I may be the only two people in this thread who understand what we're talking about—until some third person shows up, maybe? If so, then it's quite remarkable.

P.S.: what's the link between the Boltzmann generators papers and your pipeline? Why is energy involved?

> Our approach combines augmented coupling flows with graph neural networks to exploit local environments, enabling energy-based training and rapid inference.

Does this relate to the Jacobian conjecture?

    P(r)=r^-s / Zeta(s)  with s > 1

Zipf law != Zipf distribution, still this is intriguing.

Integers and Prime Numbers: Deriving Zipf's Law (https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.12773)

> In a prime number decomposition of integers in a given set, the occurrence frequencies of prime numbers are shown to satisfy a general forms of Zipf's law.

The same holds for Lyndon words decomposition of random strings to a certain extent.
