KOAN. “I started thinking of the Zen koan of the flag. Two monks are looking at a flag fluttering in the wind, and this system is performing a gnarly and therefore universal computation. But what is the system? The first monk says, “The flag is moving.” The second monk says, “The wind is moving.” The third says, “Mind is moving.” The flag koan is, in its own way, a dialectic triad, and the flag/wind system is a conscious mind.” https://lnkd.in/e-MgusWa View in LinkedIn

PROBABILITY PATH. “A naive protocol can be outlined in terms of a series of steps, where a particle samples the local tension structure of a region or along a line of O(λ) in comparison with its previous reference frame, gets an estimate of how the path bends (∼D), generates a shift in angle of progress according to some probability distribution and then reset its reference frame in agreement with the last sampled region.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

OBSTRUCTIONS. “We now proceed with illustrating two types of relative geometries that are central to diffraction patterns, the case of a single/double slit and that of a sharp edge, to illustrate the concept of relative geometry.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

GEOMETRY. “Lastly, the present analysis is of static relative geometries for simplicity, and generic relative geometries must include time dependence. With changes in geometry consistent with approximately flat space-time, causality should limit the propagation of the subsequent effects (classical or quantum).” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

KICKING IT DOWN THE ROAD. “Therefore polarization concerns, relating to characteristics of information without impact on most particles, are not among the most pressing matters at hand, and are deferred until a later point.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

COMPLEX CONCEPT. “With a scenario building on information exchange, however, properties directly connected to information propagation (such as light) turn into defining qualities (in this case of space-time) rather than limitations on what is physical.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

ROLE OF SYMMETRY. “The key to a relative geometry is the symmetry of the set-up, and for that we now proceed with two illustrations: slit and edge diffraction.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

FREE OF OBSTACLES. “Relative geometry simply refers to a flat space-time which does not have a metric equal to the identity matrix in the vacuum reference frame (x,y). Away from obstacles, the relative geometry needs to approach the reference frame quickly, likely exponentially fast.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION FLOW. “Relative geometry in flat space-time: relative geometry would be present already in flat space-time and occur due to obstacles to information flow. It would introduce extra structure at changes in information connectivity, and so be non-trivial near e.g. apertures and edges.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn
