In windows if there is an actual problem you just deal with it no options to change it .. in Linux you do have agency to fix problems and boy oh boy are there problems !

Side note , sorry for your friends the last 10 potato puters I installed mint on where nauseatingly boring installs , 15 min each

I appreciate the shortcut

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 15h

also thank you for this epic thread, hurt my brain in all the right ways :) am excited to look into algorithmic botany now and appreciate your much deeper understanding of all the physics related ideas !

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 15h

you said earlier though it's incomplete or there are issues with the theory , what are they ?

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 15h

at the very least this is as believable as many worlds :)

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 16h

good point i haven't even gotten to the "why even decoherence" part yet !

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 17h

right , how is that theory different than say neuton's ideas of a time dimension that is absolute everywhere ? do you remove the past and future ? how to explain a timeless here and now while still incorporating relativity seems like quite a doozy :)

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 17h

but then how can you square the theorem exploration with reality ? how would you close the feedback loop without experiments ?

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 17h

i guess this also comes back to the fact that all of our theories are just frameworks that attempt to compress a set of observations into some rules at a certain granular level of reality.. so in a sense a theorem explorer self assembler is more useful than a quantum simulation ?

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 17h

on some level i think you already answered , opencog / atomspace could do it via "theorem self assembling" ? i suppose you wouldn't be trying to derive rules / theorems from quantum simulations but instead just treat the theorem space as a thing to explore instead ?

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 17h

this as well but where are the thresholds , why are those places the thresholds , are there are other thresholds we don't know about that we could find if we did the right computations rather than observations

by classical i was distinguishing quantum mechanics from neutonian / gr / sr

for instance the more environmental interaction any set of atoms will start to decohere to the point where they start acting classically .. because information can only travel at the speed of light gr can emerge from

confusion about jigsaw pieces , taking WFC as my analogy or even NCA there needs to be a seed pattern usually ,, does your jigsaw pieces have that ? i have trouble really internalizing that part of it ..

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 18h

sounds like it will pattern match well with the NCA work that was done regarding animal morphogenisis ?

i was not aware of this, you've linked to algo botany several times and im ashamed to say i never payed much thought to it but hearing that it incorporates CA and diff-eq makes me want to investigate / see if i could extrapolate it into some blender experiments with geo nodes or python :)

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 19h

you need those coarse grained "compressed" heuristics (classical neutonian / general relativitiy) to do the computation at all ..

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 19h

do you have thoughts on how classical mechanics erupt from probabilistic quantum mechanics ? more exactly why are there what seems like thresholds of complexity where these emerge ? one of the issues with most of these computational approaches is the intractability of ground up computing

extra branching side note , this shower thought was prompted by a conversation with pfrazee about computational physics ideas ..
bsky.app/profile/did:...
pretty sure you might have some interesting ideas to add to that conversation !

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 19h

quick side note , this guy is the one that did most of the research afaik (wolfram classic : taking others credit)

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 21h

@linas.org apologies for being subjected to my shower thoughts , has anyone tried to do physics sims with atomspace ala gravitas method that wolfram alpha tried ?

it almost feels like they were doing tests and the final result was that lyon set , always wanted to ask them .. but am too afraid currently for fear of sounding like a dummy in front of people i involuntarily idolize

i have not been able to get this live set out of my head for an entire year now :

just have chime in with .. nicceeee (like many others)

Fleeky @fleeky.bsky.social · 22h

it would indeed be neat to find those simple rules and also be able to discover what the higher order emergent rules are that can be seen as the group behavioural phenomena of the interactions of those simple rules. you could have computational physics lod when trying to represent any system ...

you know about Jonathan Gorard ? afaik he did a ton of the work that stephen wolfram claims about cellular automata physics simulations , wish he was on bsky :)
