THE CENTRAL DOGMAP. “FIGURE 99. An analogy is established between two fundamental Tangled Hierarchies: that of molecular biology and that of mathematical logic. (Page 528). https://lnkd.in/dmfn9qW View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this first of two weekends on a wonderful paper. Dr Jeremy Butterfield" "Senior Research Fellow, Trinity College, Cambridge, MA, PhD, FBA was interested in philosophical aspects of quantum theory. I incorrectly assigned the authorship of this paper to Professor Sir John Butterfield, the diabetologist in the introduction, and made an error. Professor Jeremy Butterfield’s research centers faround a variety of topics in the philosophy of physics and philosophy of science, and he has also made contributions to the philosophy of language and logic, particularly with regard to the treatment of time and tense. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Butterfield View in LinkedIn

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. “Our predicament is aggravated by the continuum model of spacetime being so crucial to our normal physical description of the world. So we must be wary of assuming that the emergence of time will be like more familiar cases of emergence.” https://lnkd.in/dMm_YkR View in LinkedIn

WHERE WORDS FAIL. “This inaccessibility not only implies a lack of data. It is so extreme that it suggests that those aspects of reality that require a theory of quantum gravity for their description hardly deserve such names as ‘appearance’, ‘phenomenon’, or even perhaps ‘empirical reality’.” https://lnkd.in/dMm_YkR View in LinkedIn

MEMORY. “The critical state of an enhanced memory capacity is reached due to the high excitations (i.e., the high occupation numbers) of some of the neurons, which – due to the excitatory synaptic connections ‐ lowers the excitation thresholds for others. We choose the highly excited neuron to be the one with the lowest energy threshold.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201800007?casa_token=GdPRXs_tGLEAAAAA%3Ag-pxPMtkcleTYDUNK3mYGfpEzKRyc2LqQknTgFFB7dkYFDL8rDe2s0f4_0Q0oKjXD4_AEgFPGWolVTQ View in LinkedIn

THE GREAT UNKNOWN. “The difficulties arise from the inaccessibility of the Planck scale (at least, in regard to terrestrial experiments), and the associated lack of any specific data to guide theoretical speculations.” https://lnkd.in/dMm_YkR View in LinkedIn

NEURAL NETWORK. “However, the sense of geometry is provided by the concept of a quantum field. Indeed, while the interaction of the quantum fields in position space is local, in momentum space it is not. The fact that the neurons are translated into the momentum modes, shows how to connect them to geometry.” https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/prop.201800007?casa_token=GdPRXs_tGLEAAAAA%3Ag-pxPMtkcleTYDUNK3mYGfpEzKRyc2LqQknTgFFB7dkYFDL8rDe2s0f4_0Q0oKjXD4_AEgFPGWolVTQ View in LinkedIn

SELF-REFERENTIAL SENTENCES. “All of these sentences are "floating" in the context of the English language. They can be compared to icebergs, whose tips only are visible. The word sequences are the tips of the icebergs, and the processing which must be done to understand them is the hidden part. In this sense their meaning is implicit, not explicit.” https://lnkd.in/dmfn9qW View in LinkedIn
