On a meta-level, it is not that surprising that a sequence defined recursively in terms of _all_ its previous values exhibits interesting behavior. No information is ever lost - every element of the sequence will be used infinitely often in computing subsequent elements. The sequence just meditates upon itself forever, without ever losing any "insight" once gained.

I would love to look at the same sequence with a variation where you also count the "index". So it would go: 0_0 (zero "zeroes") 2_0; (two "zeroes" because you got the "index") 0_1; 4_0; 1_1; 1_2; 0_3; 6_0; 4_1; 2_2; 1_3; 2_4; 0_5; 8_0; 6_1; 5_2; 2_3; 3_4; 2_5; 2_6; 0_7; ... First entry is always 2n (you always have one index for 0 and the last entry) but the pattern for other digits looks very different, or maybe we can find some connection with the "base" sequence!
@SgtSupaman
@SgtSupaman 2 жыл бұрын
I thought at first that is how the pattern would work in the video, since he wrote those subscripts and asked how many we could see, but apparently, they were just there to help him explain/keep track of the meaning of each digit. The sequence in the video could be written without the subscripts entirely (and in one continuous line). An interesting aspect of doing it in a way that includes the index is that you are guaranteed that the numbers in the columns will always increase by at least one for every additional row, because the index is will always be present in each row. By the way, slight error in your index-counting sequence. The 4th line should have "2_4;" instead of "1_4;" (there is a 4 in line three and a 4 earlier in line four), which would change your 5th line to 8_0; 6_1; 5_2; 2_3; 3_4; 2_5; 2_6; 0_7; So far, this suggests each row will stop (by hitting a 0) at 2n-1.

@@Boink97 , due to the fact that numbers are constantly being added and never taken away, this doesn't seem as though it would ever skip any number infinitely, even if you don't count the number's required initial appearance. We can see that the amount of each number (the columns formed in the way he lays it out) will continue to increase. They may not increase on every row, but they all increase. So, once a number gets a 1 in its column (which it has to, given the "trivial appearance"), it will certainly increase from there.

If I were a greedy inventory taker, I wouldn't re-start my inventory when I get a zero. Instead, I would immediately jump to the number corresponding to the count I just arrived at. For example, if I'm currently counting the number of 8's, and I count 3 of them, I would count the number of 3's next. Of course I know that will be one more than the last time I counted it. So I never really have to re-count anything, I'm just incrementing by one every time.

That question at the end, and Neil Sloane's response, highlights an important point; mathematics like this is exploration. By its nature, you don't know what you'll find when you're exploring until after you've found it. So whether or not you're exploring in search of beauty, or for fun, or for something of some other value, you can't really place a value on the exploration itself.

I feel like this sequence could be great for encoding, the arbitrary erratic nature of the sequence is one part. But also, there is no concrete way to skip to a specific result with an input of n. You *have* to compute all of the previous terms to get your term. As n get's larger and larger, it's going to get more and more difficult to brute force the encoded sequence.

I immediately thought that the "Stock" in each chunk might be incomplete if you hit a zero count for a number n, but n+1 appears previously. It turns out this happens! At a(46) we take stock of 8's, and there are zero, so a(46)=0, and we start a new chunk. However, a(39)=9, so we stopped taking stock too early and we aren't counting the 9's and maybe we should be. So my alternate algorithm isn't to reset the chunk when we hit zero, but reset after looking for the number one more than the maximum in sequence so far. (This is guaranteed to be zero of course.) I did this in Excel. The sequence you get from this is identical up to a(46)=0, but the original sequence has a(47)=8 (a new chunk started), but my sequence has a'(47)=1 (we count the 9's, then the 10's, then start a new chunk). Well, is this sequence any more interesting? Turns out, not so much. Zeros take over pretty quickly because the maximum grows fast but leaves a lot of missing numbers.

I have an issue with the inventory sequence, mostly in my head. -When he asked how many 0's in the second step there were 2, not 1 --1 count and 1 for number Yes, this would be a different pattern. Will use (count).(number), think the below is correct based on the same questioning and reason to go to the next line from the video. I am not sure which sequence would be correct though (also might be slightly off with both chain of thoughts) 0.0 2.0 0.1 1.2 0.3 5.0 2.1 3.2 2.3 0.4 1.5 0.6 etc... OR 0.0 2.0 0.1 5.0 2.1 3.2 2.3 0.4 etc...

I can't be the only one who thought that the music felt really ominous in a cool way. Like, if I wanted background music for a haunted house, just play the first 10,000 terms in the series on loop over a speaker.

So do you keep track of numbers bigger than 1 digit? So if there are 10 8s, does that get counted as 1 10 or 1 1 + 1 0?

This is a key comment, absoulutely right he isn't counting digits so far he is counting number of that size number, so if he was working in base 2, he would count 0, 1 , 10, 11, 100, 101 etc and get the same graph.

I'm curious how the aspect ratio of each chunk (number of values n vs. the highest value) changes. Let's say we plot that (or some running average-like value) as a derivative sequence. It looks like it's rather stable, perhaps converging or oscillating around some value, but it's likely to be more interesting than that.

It kind of sounds like the roar of a crowd that is in a panic. It gets excited and then the voices come to a murmur and then gets excited again. Or possibly a paniced or anxious mind

With the 4:45 plot maybe you could improve the whale tail algorithm. With the 4:53 plot you can make organic shapes with it. Iguana backs, feet, Also with the 8:00 plot you can make landforms, also looks like torque curves when torque meets the horsepower so you could make car tunes with it :D It is a hidden gem of chaos theory :D You can use it anywhere almost like a logistic map.

Love this interview. One small note (ha): I wish his musical example had been Bach’s Goldberg Variations, which are themselves loaded with very purposeful mathematical design elements. Still, I appreciate a musical reference very much!
