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

THE END OF COMPLEXITY. “If the circuit continues to run, the complexity will continue to increase until it reaches a maximum. The existence of a maximum follows from the fact that any unitary can be implemented by a circuit with no more than an exponential number of gates.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201500092?casa_token=8OO3b1OY4e4AAAAA%3ARqriAgTwtxnvsxl09CqnNy79m7l4ye7ZrkZxcLtObB9kHsTwYgzBuIV2X-xXQ7ezoR6VQPfQLCS-vnI View in LinkedIn

LIMITS OF COMPLEXITY. “I will assume that over some range of time the complexity does increase linearly. The range cannot be infinite, since as we will see, complexity is bounded, but the time for saturating the bound is exponentially large. On even larger time scales the complexity is quasi‐periodic with an average period equal to the doubly exponential quantum recurrence time.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201500092?casa_token=8OO3b1OY4e4AAAAA%3ARqriAgTwtxnvsxl09CqnNy79m7l4ye7ZrkZxcLtObB9kHsTwYgzBuIV2X-xXQ7ezoR6VQPfQLCS-vnI View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM BRAINS. “Motivated by the potential similarities between the underlying mechanisms of the enhanced memory storage capacity in black holes and in brain networks, we construct an artificial quantum neural network based on gravity‐like synaptic connections and a symmetry structure that allows to describe the network in terms of geometry of a d‐dimensional space.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201800007?casa_token=GdPRXs_tGLEAAAAA%3Ag-pxPMtkcleTYDUNK3mYGfpEzKRyc2LqQknTgFFB7dkYFDL8rDe2s0f4_0Q0oKjXD4_AEgFPGWolVTQ View in LinkedIn

ALTERNATIVE CONFIRMATION. “To confirm the involvement of the sweet taste receptor TAS1R2/TAS1R3 in D2O signaling we performed functional calcium mobilization assays using HEK 293 FlpIn T-Rex cells heterologously expressing both required TAS1R subunits as well as the chimeric G protein Gα15Gi343.” https://lnkd.in/dzPDm5w View in LinkedIn
