GRIST FOR THE MILL. “The subconscious mind is not merely a kind of deep seat repository of sunken memories and atavistic desires, but of forces which can, under special circumstances, manifest themselves in the physical world with a force which goes beyond anything which the conscious mind could command.” (Wilson, 1971:445). https://lnkd.in/d4sDpAu View in LinkedIn

COMPLEXITY GRADIENT. “Operators supported on the outer edge of the near‐horizon region—the onion skin—have the minimal complexity. As we peel the onion, the complexity increases. Eventually we get to the Planckian layer where the complexity has increased to a particular value .” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201500092?casa_token=8OO3b1OY4e4AAAAA%3ARqriAgTwtxnvsxl09CqnNy79m7l4ye7ZrkZxcLtObB9kHsTwYgzBuIV2X-xXQ7ezoR6VQPfQLCS-vnI View in LinkedIn

ZERO DERIVATIVE. “The complexity can be large, but have zero time‐derivative. If evolved forward or backward the complexity will increase.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201500092?casa_token=8OO3b1OY4e4AAAAA%3ARqriAgTwtxnvsxl09CqnNy79m7l4ye7ZrkZxcLtObB9kHsTwYgzBuIV2X-xXQ7ezoR6VQPfQLCS-vnI View in LinkedIn

LAYERS OF THE ONION. “To understand the connection between complexity and black holes it is important to think of a black hole as an onion. The near‐horizon region of the black hole is a layered structure. Each layer has its own degrees of freedom. The CFT representation of the various layers differ in their degree of complexity.“ (CFT = Conformal field theory). https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201500092?casa_token=8OO3b1OY4e4AAAAA%3ARqriAgTwtxnvsxl09CqnNy79m7l4ye7ZrkZxcLtObB9kHsTwYgzBuIV2X-xXQ7ezoR6VQPfQLCS-vnI View in LinkedIn

ORDER DERIVATIVES. “Aristotle's theory of gravity was first‐order in derivatives; force is equal to mass times velocity. The complexity‐based theory looks more like a second order theory because complexity and it's rate of change are independent variables.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201500092?casa_token=8OO3b1OY4e4AAAAA%3ARqriAgTwtxnvsxl09CqnNy79m7l4ye7ZrkZxcLtObB9kHsTwYgzBuIV2X-xXQ7ezoR6VQPfQLCS-vnI View in LinkedIn

COMPLEXITY AND ENTROPY. “Let's begin with the fact that complexity satisfies a law similar to the second law of thermodynamics. It tends to increase, but with caveats that are similar to those that apply to the increase in entropy.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201500092?casa_token=8OO3b1OY4e4AAAAA%3ARqriAgTwtxnvsxl09CqnNy79m7l4ye7ZrkZxcLtObB9kHsTwYgzBuIV2X-xXQ7ezoR6VQPfQLCS-vnI View in LinkedIn

GRAVITY AND COMPKEXITY. “I want to suggest that there may be another deep connection; this time between gravity and complexity. To state it as a slogan: Things fall because there is a tendency toward complexity.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201500092?casa_token=8OO3b1OY4e4AAAAA%3ARqriAgTwtxnvsxl09CqnNy79m7l4ye7ZrkZxcLtObB9kHsTwYgzBuIV2X-xXQ7ezoR6VQPfQLCS-vnI View in LinkedIn

MEASUREMENT INTERVAL. “The time to achieve this degree of complexity is of order the classical recurrence time. Once this much time has elapsed the complexity stops increasing, although it may fluctuate.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201500092?casa_token=8OO3b1OY4e4AAAAA%3ARqriAgTwtxnvsxl09CqnNy79m7l4ye7ZrkZxcLtObB9kHsTwYgzBuIV2X-xXQ7ezoR6VQPfQLCS-vnI View in LinkedIn

FRAGILE SYSTEMS. “Devastated, but resilient is my word of the day. Starting over as if I never had a lab; the hardest day of my life. Throwing away 8 years of work b/c the institution could not turn on the damn generator and of course we were not made aware. No parasite, no cells; backups gone!” Dr. Pascale Guiton@DrGuiton. )Remember Blade Runner 2049 — “wiped clean”?). " "pic.twitter.com/ZF90F4PihU View in LinkedIn
