L'article est vraiment bien, et il me fait penser à un truc que je dis tout le temps, et que personne ne comprend ... (donc je garde cet article qui dit mieux que moi ce que j'aimerais dire) https://apenwarr.ca/log/20260316 #programming #méthode #amélioration #continuous #review

Three Kings and a Princess
Gold I Bring to Crown You Anew: Part IIA

"Your visitor brought you not only gold but a dress too. It's outlandish, but it's made of the finest material," Pairin said, as she laid out a blue dress.
Mao’s eyes widened. The dress was made of soft blue silk layered over cream-toned linen and cotton; every ruffle was cut and stitched with almost obsessive care. Red satin ribbons and a #vivid blue sapphire finished off the opulent dress. It was an absurdly costly foreign gown—clearly the work of someone with far more money than sense.
It tugged at her memory, although she couldn’t say why. No one from Li would ever dream of wearing something so impractical.
Had an eastern prince, with no #regard for common sense, decided to court her?
With Pairin's help, Mao was slowly encased in a monument of silk, linen, and layers of petticoats. Finished, Pairin stepped back and admired her achievement. “Just think what we could sell this for.”
The lack of a compliment would have insulted any other woman. Instead, Mao thought the same thing, picturing the mounds of herbs and medicine she could buy. She hoped she would have the chance to do so instead of being packed off to someone’s harem or taken to a barbarous land to the east.
“Hmm,” Mao wondered. “Or did she mean me?” It didn’t really matter; they were both practical women. Marriage for the inhabitants of Verdigris House was about money first, with love being an afterthought.
“Would you like something to help with your first time? New girls often do.” Pairin produced a small packet. “Just the first time. Any more is bad for you.”
“Poppy paste,” Mao thought. She took it and secreted it away. “But not for this. I’ll save it for when nothing else works,” picturing a maimed soldier. “Or for someone too important to feel pain.”
A smile touched Pairin’s lips as she watched Mao both accept her gift and refuse to use it. “Come, we mustn’t keep the client waiting any longer.”

Do I know, or do you know, someone in the USA who is an #Importer of #Alcohol and works with #FedEx and happens to already have in place a #Continuous #Bond that might be willing to work with us? Our current importer seems to have ghosted and vanished without renewing their bond. It is disappointing for customers and us when we have to get orders returned back to us. Volumes are small (as are values, relatively speaking). Please boost for effect. Thanks!

@science_quotes @jcastroarnaud
I tried to make it general enough that anyone could respond, so no worries there.[Here's a post I just happened to see that talks about the importance of measuring principles, in the context of domestic abuse: https://c.im/@[email protected]e/109523214049642663 ]
The thing I could have emphasized more was the dual nature of the process. When we're stuck in one, the other will suffer.
So 'letting go' cuts both ways. As you point out, often times our models run into problems, and we have to make changes. The disagreement between #experiment and #theory is a big red flag.
The default seems to be to alter the theory in some way. This is not always bad, nor is it always right. The impetus for this is our confidence in the model, fueled by various factors. The farther back the model goes, the less likely people are to challenge it, or even go back to the start for a complete review.
At the #fundamental layer of maths are simply the concept of numbers & quantity. If you're going to use them other than the way they come, the set is probably the next option.
OTOH, not doing this is also creating #HiddenAssumptions that do pass along to the higher levels. The problem with problems is that we don't always know where they're coming from!
The idea of 'continuous' reality, measured by a continuous number line populated by integers, and then modified by 'infinitely divisible units' between them in order to gain accuracy or change #scale, is the status quo that few ever bother to question.
IMO, the time to do that re-examination is exactly in circumstances like you brought up. Looking only at GR, or only at QM, we might walk away with the impression of their correctness & #universality. But when they cannot be brought to terms with each other, then the next (or at least after a century of tinkering & failing) logical area to question is in the models & structures prior to them (rinse and repeat until resolved).
Our notion of making single, #continuous measurements and being able to determine things like #simultaneity or mass-energy relations has failed in these areas.
The similarity between the theory / #measurement relationship, and between practice / 'live' performance is what I was aiming to highlight.
When not performing, all masters practice /revisit the basics on a regular basis. A good practice session 'lets go' of the conditions of a performance, and vice versa.
