A WOLF with a lot of RAM memory. Thanks Wolfram ❤️

[@yuryeuceda8590]

LOL but also a Wolf that consumes a lot of RAM

The material universe is an isotropic manifold. I haven't seen any locally isotropic limiting meshes generated by your model. Are there any? This seems critical if you want to get anywhere near modellng the material universe...

Fascinating stuff! If you start from the conjecture "all self-consistent mathematics are real," and follow Max Tegmark's lead that there's no special extra stuff required to make the math into a fully realized universe, then every possible version of rule implementation would be equally real. Think about that. Finding the rule for our universe would be the grandest achievement in physics, but finding other universes is almost as fascinating. Can't wait to see what comes out of this.

The pilot wave interpretation of quantum mechanics is deterministic! Stephen Hawking wrote: "Maybe that is our mistake: maybe there are no particle positions and velocities, but only waves. It is just that we try to fit the waves to our preconceived ideas of positions and velocities.The resulting mismatch is the cause of the apparent unpredictability." - A Brief History of Time, ch. 12 - And experiments have been done using classical fluid mechanics that produce QM effects, such as Tomas Bohr on Performing the Double-Slit Experiment with Bouncing Droplets.

Maybe the graph of the entanglement is what i tried to put forward with my limited language and none existent lingo. For any development size of a bransch space i guess that is a factor of time?, there is such a construction tree that the tree becomes optimal compacted? Where compacted is the least number of steps between any random pair of nodes, the roundtrip all to in a graph is the measurement of how compact it is. That compactness is for all intends and purposes equivalent to how effective a calculation can be performed. I am not sure what compactness mean in your lingo, but in my lingo it is the smallest possible constructed roundtrip all to all, using a graph with x vertices/nodes and y edges/links, "well with same number of links the roundtrip must be the same, but it can be constructed with less links having same roundtrip thus more compact" Once that is realised quantum computing just become some fancy statistical outcome, in probability space "just like D-wave" Cantors numberline is the setup for failure doing "big" calculations, but a good learning tool.

Put subtitles in Spanish please

[@noeliacasais7987]

Hi! Sorry by my poor English. I´m a Spanish professor and I´m intrested in your theory because I have a proyect calls #MatemáticaLiteraria... ,my partner and I was studing the "fractal" theory of Benoit Mandelbrot and I suppose that exists any relation between your "point" and the idea that the Univers is a brig fractal... iterating and folowing mathematical patterns to be the most economic thing and keep similar to itself... This is so intresting... Even the txts (discursive genres) follow the same rules when we use the linguistic sistem... I´ll be waiting for your next live and maybe your answer

[@danielalexanderdelfinodabo3572]

Alguien puede traducir por favor ?

[@ledgermanager]

so you guys are effectively decoding the observer. And narrowing it down to one overlord?

[@victorar8595]

interesting

[@nolan412]

Minute 1: tunneling should be easy with the black hole disconnection idea.

[@nolan412]

Guess I won't be following along this time. `ResourceFunction["MultiwaySystem"][{"A"->"L", "A" ->"R", "L" ->"LL","R"->"RR","L"->"R","R"->"L"}, "A",4, "EvolutionCausalGraph"]` gives me a gray box. :/

[@nolan412]

Add an observer / measuring device node?

[@nolan412]

Reminded of a quote about reality not being simple.

[@nolan412]

Misheard "A goes through hell"...and pops up at M.

[@nolan412]

Now the tab is popping in graphs. :D
