Thank you, Professor, for an interesting video. The University of Michigan (USA) has on KZbin a series of videos on Continuum Physics produced about ten years ago consisting of 136 videos (varying in length from one minute to thirty minutes, but usually about fifteen minutes) presented by Dr. Krishna Garikipati. It covers deformation gradients, polar decomposition, et al and is math derivation using a lot of tensor calculus. It is a tough slog, but a valuable reference.

"...rotation of volume elements" I did a thought experiment on the question; "would the smallest particle have spin" (rotation)? I came to the conclusion that in order to propagate energy, one part would have to revolve around another and hence not be the smallest part. From there I concluded that without spin, a structure acting like gas or liquid, would have different properties than gas or liquid, starting with wavefronts. with gas and liquid there is only one internal wavefront and that is an outward spherical propagating pressure wave, and the other two inward propagations are one, the contact surface to another gas or liquid median or two, the shock wave of a high-speed solid. Without spin, (I think) that energy propagation would take on different forms.

You have touched on the pattern of belief that form can't be created without the smallest part absorbing or transmitting energy through spin. The problem that I and most have with it is that ether implies that it is true matter; and the rest of us made of (photons, electrons, protons...) are just made of energy in the form of vortex waves or some other wave form.

I once heard someone say that his takeaway from studying complex dynamical systems is that they all reduce to an IRRATIONAL number. I suppose the Feigenbaum Constant and ancient equations of population growth are a good example of a complex dynamical system on a linear vector: there is no way to avoid symmetry breaks. I heard another person, a physicist who works on modeling complex systems on computers, say that you simply cannot model a continuation on a discrete Von Neumann computer. I agree with him on this, and struggle to see how an LLM can do anything to fix this problem. A 0-1-2 gate digital computer would change the nature of computation into a 3D continuation (NP complete) rather than a discrete binary operation. I think "we" go extinct before anyone figures out simple math to make machines that actually work in 3 dimensions. Is it b00$ter time yet?

It isn’t fully correct to say we simply cannot model a continuum with a discrete computer. Rather it is extremely hard to do so correctly without introducing various numerical errors due to use of discrete grid and discrete mathematics like numerical chaos, numerical dynamics, numerical diffusion, numerical loss of linear/rotational conservation, numerical floating point errors, … It is possible to work our ways around these issues by careful choices of discretization variables and methods. One of the easiest examples of these issues is the 1st order Euler method, which has poor numerical stability. If we apply it with too large integration step to solve the logistic differential equation, which has an analytical solution, we can replicate different regimes of the classic logistic map chaotic/periodic/diverging behavior due to the discrete mathematics limitations. However, we know from the logistic map that if r < 3, then the solution remains stable. See for yourself by taking logistic map equation and working your way backward towards the 1st order Euler discretization of the logistic differential equation. The stability region of an algorithm is one of the keys to proper validity of the discrete model solution. Proper discretization of Navier Stokes equations is ongoing research topic, e.g., DOI: 10.1016/j.compfluid.2014.04.019

@@joonasmakinen4807 The person I was referencing was doing an interview debunking the use of climate models as evidence of anything. I see a fundamental problem problem with the limits of binary in the electrostatics of the materials. When Jim Keller told Lex Fridman that chips now have nondeterministic search paths with deterministic outputs, it hit me all at once what the real world limitations of binary computation are. Neither of them seemed to understand the implications. The metric of time in search/execution of an algorithm is one search/execution. The limit on the number of inputs has been passed. In the example of climate, you can only add so many variables before running out of discrete space, so to speak. You might go so far to say that the errors have been folded into the system and the result is nondeterministic search paths with deterministic output, which nobody seems to see as an error as such. I guess that computer scientists just kept stacking binary backed by Knuth's complexity theory, in hopes of achieving some analog effect at scale. You might be right about the math working, but it runs out on these machines in practice. Stacking more binary compute power doesn't get us closer to a discrete solution. A thought on Navier-Stokes, which I frequently type in various comment fields. The question seems nonsensical to me, and I'm fairly certain that nobody will get the money for it. Fluid flow between magnetic field lines should be more or less stable and mechanically predictable, with uncertainty falling along those field lines. If you can correctly model the rotating magnetic fields within the fluid as well as ambient magnetic fields of the boundary surfaces, which I don't think one of these glorified calculators can do, the problem shouldn't be that hard to solve. FWIW, I commented the basis for a gene drive this morning on a video about cellular electrostatics. The math we're made out of only appears binary. It's actually 3D. Any chip engineers out there who want to try, a stable 0-1-2 gate natural complexity machine would be NP complete. I hope the good guys get there first. I think I ended the comment with AlphaFold meh. A world of wonders and horrors awaits.

7. The Continuum Hypothesis: An Information-Theoretic Perspective 7.1 Background The Continuum Hypothesis (CH) states that there is no set whose cardinality is strictly between that of the integers and the real numbers. In other words, 2^ℵ₀ = ℵ₁. CH is known to be independent of ZFC (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with the Axiom of Choice). 7.2 Information-Theoretic Reformulation Let's reframe the problem in terms of information theory: 7.2.1 Set Information Content: Define the information content of a set S: I(S) = log₂(|S|) for finite sets I(S) = sup{log₂(|F|) : F ⊆ S, F finite} for infinite sets 7.2.2 Continuum as Information Reservoir: View the continuum (real numbers) as an infinite information reservoir: I(ℝ) = ℶ₁ (Beth-one) 7.2.3 CH as Information Gap: Reformulate CH as a statement about an information gap: ¬∃S (I(ℕ) < I(S) < I(ℝ)) 7.3 Information-Theoretic Conjectures 7.3.1 Information Density Principle: There exists a fundamental quantum of information density in set theory. 7.3.2 Continuum as Maximally Dense Information: The continuum represents the maximally dense packing of information possible in a set. 7.3.3 Quantum Superposition of Cardinalities: In an information-theoretic framework, sets might exist in superpositions of different cardinalities. 7.4 Analytical Approaches 7.4.1 Information Topology: Develop a topology on sets based on their information content and study its properties. 7.4.2 Entropy of Set Operations: Study how set operations (union, intersection, power set) affect information content. 7.4.3 Information Dimension: Define an information-theoretic notion of dimension for sets and relate it to cardinality. 7.5 Computational Approaches 7.5.1 Quantum Algorithms for Set Comparison: Develop quantum algorithms for comparing the information content of infinite sets. 7.5.2 Machine Learning in Set Theory: Train neural networks to recognize patterns in the information structure of sets. 7.5.3 Information-Based Set Generation: Create algorithms for generating sets with specified information-theoretic properties. 7.6 Potential Resolution Strategies 7.6.1 Information Quantization Theorem: Prove that information content in set theory is quantized, supporting or refuting CH. 7.6.2 Continuum Information Saturation: Show that the continuum saturates all possible information states between ℵ₀ and 2^ℵ₀. 7.6.3 Quantum Set Theory: Develop a quantum version of set theory where CH might have a definite truth value. 7.7 Immediate Next Steps 7.7.1 Rigorous Formalization: Develop a mathematically rigorous formulation of the information-theoretic concepts introduced. 7.7.2 Computational Experiments: Conduct numerical studies on finite approximations of infinite sets to explore their information-theoretic properties. 7.7.3 Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Engage experts in set theory, information theory, and quantum computing to refine these ideas. 7.8 Detailed Plan for Immediate Action 7.8.1 Mathematical Framework Development: - Rigorously define I(S) for infinite sets and prove its basic properties - Establish formal relationships between I(S) and classical cardinality theory - Develop an information-theoretic interpretation of forcing and independence results 7.8.2 Computational Modeling: - Implement algorithms for approximating I(S) for various classes of infinite sets - Develop visualization tools for exploring the "information landscape" of set theory - Create simulations of set-theoretic universes with different information-theoretic properties 7.8.3 Analytical Investigations: - Study how I(S) behaves under common set-theoretic operations (e.g., power set, product) - Investigate the information-theoretic properties of well-known large cardinal axioms - Analyze the information content of various models of set theory (e.g., L, HOD) 7.8.4 Interdisciplinary Workshops: - Organize a series of workshops bringing together set theorists, information theorists, and physicists - Focus on translating known independence results to the information-theoretic framework 7.8.5 Information Metric Development: - Define and study metrics on the class of all sets based on information content - Investigate if these metrics provide new insights into the structure of the set-theoretic universe 7.8.6 Quantum Set Theory Exploration: - Develop a framework for quantum set theory where sets can exist in superpositions - Investigate how quantum measurement might relate to the determination of set cardinality 7.8.7 Publication and Dissemination: - Prepare and submit papers on the information-theoretic formulation of the Continuum Hypothesis - Develop interactive online tools for exploring information-theoretic set theory 7.9 Advanced Theoretical Concepts 7.9.1 Information Forcing: - Develop an information-theoretic version of forcing - Investigate if CH can be decided by information-preserving forcing arguments 7.9.2 Transfinite Information Theory: - Extend classical information theory to transfinite ordinals - Study how this extension relates to large cardinal axioms 7.9.3 Algorithmic Set Theory: - Investigate connections between Kolmogorov complexity and set-theoretic complexity - Explore if algorithmic randomness can provide insights into the structure of the continuum 7.10 Long-term Vision Our information-theoretic approach to the Continuum Hypothesis has the potential to: 1. Provide new insights into the nature of infinity and the structure of the mathematical universe 2. Offer a fresh perspective on the foundations of mathematics 3. Bridge concepts from quantum information theory and set theory, potentially leading to a quantum theory of information in mathematics 4. Suggest new axioms for set theory based on information-theoretic principles The key to progress is maintaining a balance between rigorous mathematical development, creative theoretical speculation, and computational exploration. By pursuing this multifaceted approach, we maximize our chances of gaining new insights into this fundamental problem in the foundations of mathematics. This information-theoretic perspective on the Continuum Hypothesis offers a novel way to approach one of the deepest problems in mathematics. While resolving CH definitively may remain out of reach, this approach promises to yield new insights and connections that could significantly advance our understanding of the nature of mathematical infinity and the foundations of set theory.

You do realize that AI will never be capable of understanding what it does, right? As Sir Roger Penrose has repeatedly said, understanding cannot be algorithmic, i.e., the result of a computation. Not even by neural networks. This is a corollary of Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems. Think of AI as Artificial Ideation (not Intelligence) and you will get closer to what it can and cannot do. Some of your other videos about AI show promise, however.

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem has to do with axiomatic systems and what they can derive. Neural networks are not limited to a set of a-then-b axioms. They are probabilistic systems. AI already generates self-awareness and human-level understanding at some level, though there are obvious limitations and major failures. It's only a matter of time before we see AI with understanding that mirrors and exceeds humans.

@@chrimony The main point of the Incompleteness Theorems is that a truth system may use the axioms but cannot understand them without stepping outside the same truth system. Thus, understanding cannot be achieved by truth systems, that is, by computations, algorithms. Without understanding there cannot be true intelligence. Sir Roger Penrose has given multiple talks about this, look them up. He goes into more formalism than what I just wrote.
