📉 Terence Tao bravely attempts to tame the chaotic beast that is the Collatz conjecture, only to declare them "almost" conquered. Meanwhile, the rest of us are left wondering if this math prodigy just explained something or if he’s just flexing his alphabet soup of algebraic wizardry. 🤯🌀

i wonder if it's possible to make a video game that would teach kids the intuition behind the "butterfly effect" by making each subsequent level's initial conditions determined by the outcome of the previous level, in such a way that the gameplay would guide you towards understanding that tiny decisions made on the first level will have huge consequences on level two, etc. #chaos #butterflyEffect #chaosTheory #deterministic #systems #nonlinear #differentialEquations #bifurcation cc @JamesGleick

Hello everyone, I am Diego (aka videco)! I love making music with code and also with other instruments (#electricguitar, #drums, #lumatone).

Among the music projects where I participate, probably the most relevant for this server is Pirarán, a networked ensemble.

My favorite coding tool/language is #overtone (#clojure) for which I've developed libraries related to #microtonality and #polytemporality, as well as a port of #tidalcycles called #piratidal. I also like #tidalcycles #supercollider and #hydra.

Conceptually one of my primary motivators is exploring creativity as a natural phenomena. I do so by conceiving thought/imagination as an ecosystem where different ideas get to co-evolve, and so, I try to think of the projects I work on as part of a network of relations and the products, not as things in themselves, but as parts of a bigger whole. Consequently I place great emphasis on #collaboration as diversity is most important to maintain the dynamic equilibrium of ecosystems and to keep them healthy and lively. As part of all that #chaostheory, #systemstheory, #ecology and #anarchy are also things that interest me.

I frequently get asked if I’m psychic, can I see the future, and if I give readings. The answer is no. I’m big on science and empirical data, so I’ve conducted experiments where I used true randomness from Johnson–Nyquist noise to generate numbers corresponding to pixels or images. I’ll have a control group that I don’t attempt to predict, and an experimental group that I try to predict. I’ve even made beam splitters from laser pointers to generate randomness using the photoelectric effect.

When I tried to sense the future using randomly generated numbers and images, I got most of them right with a p-value less than 0.05. Does this mean I can sense the future? No, because when I compared the randomly generated numbers in the experimental group to the control group and checked to ensure they were approximately random, I discovered that the experimental group wasn’t random. Specifically, I was able to measure a dynamical orbit in the experimental group.

I describe the psychic influence of magical forces as a chaotic force. Therefore, I would say that magic drawing its power from the noetic sphere is a force of chaos. My empirical measurement and observation of how I affect truly random processes in ways that create dynamical orbits is a reason why. By creating dynamical orbits in random data, my psychic influence inserts chaos into the system. Chaos in dynamical systems is characterized by a non-linear rate of change. Chaotic systems are deterministic because their behavior is entirely determined by initial conditions. This distinguishes them from stochastic systems, which involve inherent randomness or disorder in their behavior.

In shifting the future, I am breaking the symmetry of unitary properties of the system to create topological defects. This affects the ionization energy of particles. In the context of muons and ionization energy, this could cause an interaction with an atomic nucleus in a way that leads to a transition with a change in flavor. It creates a break in the evolution of the system and then restructures that gap with information that is inserted into the system such that the past and the future are shifted. Psychic influence creates a teleological influence where the only future that is possible is the one it has created thereby making it deterministic and chaotic via a dynamical orbit and attractor.

I did these experiments multiple times and had my husband do this as well. He was able to predict the future random images, while both the control and experimental data remained random. Whereas with me, there was always a dynamical orbit, even though I got most of it right with a p-value less than 0.05.

This means I can’t predict the future psychically, because I influence future probabilities to conform to what I expect it to be. It appears like I am predicting the future, but I am actually changing it. So, if I tried to give someone a reading, I would be prescribing and not predicting their future. My biases would shift the cards. I’m pessimistic and cynical, so I would negatively affect the future, so I avoid trying to look into it.

I’ve done a similar exercise with a random walk. I had a person take 1 step at 90, 180, 360, or 270 degrees in a room based on randomly generated numbers. When I tried to predict where they would be at the end of the exercise, I was right, but the numbers exhibited redundancy, a pattern, and a signature, and the Geiger counter registered weird stuff, as did the cloud chamber we created to visualize it. Here is a Youtube video on how to make a cloud chamber:

How to build a Cloud Chamber

I bias the future when I try to see it. My husband can see the future. I can’t.

This means that in trying to sense the future, I influence the ionization energy of muons, alpha radiation, and cosmic rays to force the future into a state I expect it to be. I’m influencing the probability distribution of electrons to influence ionization energy. I influence the probability of the electrons being close or far from the nucleus, which affects ionization energy. I can’t see the future, but I can control radiation when I try. So, no, I can’t give readings but I can deflect radioactive particles.

Here is the interesting philosophical question: Am I changing the future or am I creating a new reality? As I stated, the process is chaotic, and chaotic systems are deterministic. Most people incorrectly believe that the ability to see the future, change the future, or influence the future and the past proves that histories are mutable and not deterministic. That is not necessarily the case.

In many high-level programming languages, there are mutable and immutable data types. This text would be a string data type. In Python, for example, you cannot change a string. Here is an example:

x = “This is an example.”
x = “This is an example where I changed something.”

We intuitively think that we changed x. We did not. They are not the same object. They are two different objects. What we did was create a new instance of a string with the changes that we wanted, and we pointed x to that new object so that x now references that new object. We have two different string objects where we have created a new string. A new string had to be created because the original string is immutable.

Different histories are different realities. If the future is similarly immutable and deterministic, then my husband’s ability to see the future and my ability to influence the future both either create new futures and new realities or it changes vectors, tensors, and scalars such that there is a translation to a different existing reality. A translation to a different reality would be like me teleporting everything to a different reality. Am I simply changing the future and restructuring things on a subatomic level, or am I creating entirely new bubbles of realities? The problem with multiverse stuff and cosmological discussions about determinism and whether all moments in time all exist at the same time is that they are largely unfalsifiable. So, I am skeptical of the idea that I am creating new realities, but it is plausible.
