The violation of Bell's inequalities does not exclude theories with non-local hidden variables, such as the De Broglie-Bohm theory. The problem is vast enough, the concepts are "fuzzy" enough that we should not forbid ourselves from venturing, with caution, into the back alleys of "authorized" science. It is not impossible that we could find this or that "hidden variable" before arriving at the level where indeterminism becomes objective. The analysis of wave packets using Fourier theory allows us to "mathematically" bring out inequalities analogous to that of Heisenberg. The chaos of the N-body problem (revealed by Poincaré) did not lead him to conclude that the position and speed of bodies were indeterminable, even if practically they were. When the Moon is hidden from my view I prefer to imagine that it is somewhere, in a very precise place, rather than nowhere and everywhere. In any case, there is something to think about and discuss, without any a priori dictate, other than that defined by Karl Popper, essentially: "a scientific theory must be refutable."

We consider a complex spacetime framework, using which we propose to recover the results of relativistic and quantum theories, in a purely geometric manner, without appealing to any objective indeterminism of nature.

New comment by martyalain in "Should lambdascratch be an answer for kids?"

martyalain — Wed, 09 Apr 2025 01:36:30 +0000

I think that kids are able to jump the gap between blocks and LISPIAN parentheses, their imagination doing the rest. I even think that writing code is much better than drag & dropping blocks, that it helps for fighting against infobesity and for the development of intelligence. I believe that their future is in the KISS attitude.

This is at least a subject that could be discussed. Gently.

« To understand recursion, you must understand recursion. »

In other words "go your way" you will not understand anything about recursion if you are not among the lucky ones. In this paper, taking forgotten byways, I propose to demonstrate the opposite, to show why recursion is consubstantial to us and why it concerns us all as humans.

New comment by martyalain in "Show HN: A fibered space time, why not?"

martyalain — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 09:35:08 +0000

Quantum mechanics is in perfect agreement with the observation of the "microscopic" world, but its interpretation gives rise to numerous disagreements. According to Thomas Boyer-Kassem, there are three competing, empirically equivalent interpretations: the so-called orthodox "indeterministic" interpretation, the Bohmian interpretation, and the many-worlds interpretation. In what follows, I will adopt Bohm's deterministic interpretation, based on the existence of hidden variables. I will seek a purely geometric description of quantum phenomena emerging from a complexified relativistic spacetime.

Lambdatalk ( https://lambdaway.fr ) began when I discovered years ago in Steven Levithan, reverse-recursive-pattern this code snippet, a single regular expression, (regexp), and a single line of Javascript.

You are welcome in the {lambda way} project, a light framework built on a wiki, {lambda tank}, and a programming language, {lambda talk}, working in any web browser. In other words lambdaway is an « S-expression based writing, styling & coding hypertext editor ».

New comment by martyalain in "About the Roots of Coding"

martyalain — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 07:53:00 +0000

Alan Kay is quoted as saying, after reading John McCarthy’s LISP-1.5 manual: « that was the big revelation to me […] when I finally understood that the half page of code on the bottom of page 13 of the Lisp 1.5 manual was Lisp in itself. These were “Maxwell’s Equations of Software!” This is the whole world of programming in a few lines that I can put my hand over. »

In my (humble) opinion and more generally, I think that the roots of coding can be built on a more simple foundation, a simple text rewriting process.
