  1. #MissKitty talks about #fractals because there are patterns of recurrence that give clues. Miss Kitty talks about #recursion because what is the answer to which part of #infinity is not infinite?

  3. #heart + #infinity #combination #symbol

    We need #passion in order to build all together and attain #freedom / #freedoms.

    A light and deep #human #relationship is needed..

    #Talking to #machines doesn't work.
    We need better humans + have enough #Tech / #SmallTech now.

    We can be a group of #individuals that also #connects all the loving #members / #fans of #groups.

    Interested in solving #wars?

    This symbol is the way to #peace...

    (not the sex/romance - more passion)

  7. #infinity : the state of being infinite

    - French: Infinit

    - German: die Unendlichkeit

    - Italian: infinito

    - Portuguese: infinito

    - Spanish: infinidad

    ------------

  8. #MissKitty seizes upon the phrase "natural range" as victory cuz the natural state is #infinity. Anything at all. That #weird control in #AI, we are getting some of that manifested. We can do so much better. The Reverend #JesseJackson said it:
    #Conceive, #Believe, #Achieve. Booyah! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

  10. Sweet #Guru tells #mind has gone out of control since time immemorial. Means a lot of things. One it means you don't remember how long you've been alive and you just think it's this time. This hand #puppet that your mind is wearing. The #habit of #infinity waking up thinking it's not. 2/

  12. What Comes After Infinity?

    I sit alone, surrounded by silence.Or at least, that's what it seems.Inside my head, there's a conversation that has no language. It's quiet and loud at the same time, like a melody without lyrics, playing on a loop. It has no beginning, no end.It is shapeless because how do you describe nothingness? Do we even possess enough knowledge to give it a form? Perhaps some things exist beyond the limits of our understanding.Then, in a snap, I'm back.Like flipping a switch on the wall, my mind […]

  16. Good morning! The Earth is alive. The Earth and human beings together are a #dandelion. We are squarely in the middle can't possibly be the middle of #Infinity. And those dandelion seeds are going to #space #travel. Once we resolve #QEM and build explorer #robots instead of robot #weapons. 🤯🤯🤯

  18. New blog post “The road to \( \epsilon_0 \): ordinals as nim-heaps”.

    I'm starting a series of articles about understanding countable ordinal numbers, with the goal of getting to an understanding of the one called \( \epsilon_0 \). It'll be a long and somewhat winding path. This one discusses how ordinals, even infinite ordinals, can be interpreted as positions in the game of Nim.

  22. #MissKitty does things in between posts like enter a prompt to resolve whether #QEM and #multiple #instantiation are the secret to #time #travel really just #Space travel. If #infinity time can't be real because there's nothing to measure the start of anything against. #TIME = SPACE.

  24. here’s a #paradox to consider: over the last 500 years or so humans have developed lenses that allowed them to see increasingly bigger and smaller things like out into the #solar system and into a #cell. I believe that #infinity exists in both directions. Out into space and into the cell. No lens will be enough to see the end of it or comprehend. no better lenses will be developed because humanity is about to die off. Also, it’s just a paradox.

  25. New blog post “Starting to understand epsilon-zero”.

    A long time ago I said that \( ω^ω \) was the place where the countable ordinals start to get scary, and then about 18 months ago I realized I could think about it in a different way that made it not scary at all.

    Then I realized that by taking that insight a little farther I could really get my head around \( \epsilon_0 \) for the first time.

    This isn't either of those articles, it's an introduction that explains infinite ordinals and introduces what \( ω^ω \) and \( \epsilon_0 \) are, so that I can move on to those other two articles without explaining everything from first principles.

    It's word games but words are games. How do we arrive at calling it an #Apple? In #Infinity, what is #Science? Yes, we are making it up as we go. And some other bigger imagination did a whole bunch of shit too. LOL. #Money makes the world go round? #Naked it looks as stupid as it is.

  30. One more shot at sharing magic because #Infinity is that and then some. Have you ever experienced a second wind for like the 10th time? It's real. It is #Mind #Technology. When #JesusChrist said the Kingdom of God is at hand He meant you can do it. Not easy lots of work but it's there. Where else?

  32. Of course there's a #Blizzard of the universes. Not only did #MissKitty have a mystic experience. Discount that if you are a scientist. Let's just put it into the framework of #Fractal #Geometry. Of course there are iterations & this is like whatever cuz #Infinity and so #Scale is illusion. Help me.

    Skulptur in Trollhättan, Schweden. Sie soll eigentlich die Unendlichkeit darstellen, aber die 8 ist ja auf gutem Weg dorthin!

  36. “Things that are so far removed from our daily experience… are inherently hard to understand”*…

    That’s certainly true of numbers. And as the numbers grow, the cognitive challenges grow with them. (Indeed, by way of example: 1 million seconds, is roughly 11.5 days; 1 billion seconds is almost 32 years.)

    We’ve looked before at the mysterious extremes of math: zero and infinity [and here]. But as Dan Falk reminds us, the numbers in between can seem pretty strange as well– especially the extremely large ones. In a review of Richard ElwesHuge Numbers: A Story of Counting Ambitiously, From 4½ to Fish 7, Falk spotlights some of the largest numbers humans have ever contemplated…

    … Aficionados of huge numbers are called “googologists,” a reference to the number 10100, known as a googol. Such numbers have a peculiar sort of existence. For the vast majority of us, they’re of limited everyday value. Calculations at the supermarket checkout, or at tax time in April, typically involve far more modest figures. Perhaps we’ve read that the U.S. national debt is in excess of $38 trillion — a mind-numbing figure, to be sure, but it’s not as though any one individual needs to count it up in stacks of $20 bills.

    And yet, much larger numbers await those who seek them out. Consider the kinds of numbers that crop up in problems involving combinations and permutations. For example, in how many distinct ways can one shuffle a deck of cards? Elwes takes us through the calculation, and we end up with a figure of about 8×1067. Compared to that number, the odds of getting a royal flush when dealt a five-card poker hand seem pretty decent, sitting at a mere 1 in 649,740 (still rare enough that many poker players have never held such a hand). Or consider that famous 1980s cultural touchstone, the Rubik’s cube. In how many ways can one scramble the cube? It turns out that the figure is about 43 quintillion, or 4.3×1019 — but in spite of that ridiculously large figure, people do routinely solve the puzzle, and champions can do it in mere seconds. In fact, as Elwes explains, no Rubik’s cube arrangement is more than 20 moves away from any other arrangement.

    Or consider the age of the universe, estimated to be about 13.8 billion years. This may seem like a lengthy span of time, but our cosmic future is where the really big numbers come up. Elwes examines the so-called heat death of the universe, in which all matter has broken down into subatomic particles. We may reach this point in [10 raised to the 10th power, raised again to the 120th power] years — this dizzying figure is 10 raised to the power of 10120 — at which point, Elwes says, the universe will have ballooned up to a diameter of 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 10120 light years. (Yes, that’s [10 raised to the 10th power, again to the 10th power, then to the 120th power] light years.) Elwes adds a footnote: “At this point, the choice of units hardly matters; the distance is so immense that whether we choose to measure it in Planck lengths or giga-light years makes little difference.” Let that sink in!

    As mind numbing as such figures are, the highest numbers contemplated by humans come not from physics but from pure mathematics and computer science. Like “Graham’s number” — an immense figure put forward as the upper-bound for solutions to a problem in a branch of mathematics known as Ramsey theory. Some readers may find the ensuing discussion of multi-dimensional hypercubes a bit challenging, but one can enjoy the payoff regardless: We end up with a number that can’t even be expressed in conventional notation, and which earned a mention in the 1980 edition of the “Guinness Book of World Records” as “the highest number ever used in a mathematical proof.”

    Reading this book is a little bit like sitting in the back row of an auction house where a rare Picasso (let’s say) is up for grabs: How high is this thing going to go? And indeed, Elwes keeps going. We eventually meet the so-called busy beaver numbers, a set of numbers that crop up in theoretical computer science, when one tries to deduce whether a particular computer program will eventually stop, or keep going forever — a conundrum known as the “halting problem.” As Elwes explains, it’s not at all straightforward to distinguish the two types of programs (and if it was, it would help mathematicians tackle some of the most vexing problems in their field).

    The fifth busy beaver number, known as BB(5) — associated with a computer program that can access five internal states — works out to 47,176,870. And that’s as far as we’ve gotten, Elwes explains. No one has worked out the value of BB(6), but he assures us that it’s beyond the range of any physical computer; and BB(16) leaves even Graham’s number in the dust.

    But wait, there’s more! “Rayo’s number,” concocted by Agustín Rayo — a dean and professor at MIT — using set theory, is bigger still (here’s a fun video about it); and “Fish 7,” mentioned in the book’s subtitle, named for a Japanese googologist who goes by the pseudonym “Fish,” builds on Rayo’s number, and … well, the details are not easily digested, but the mind-melting nature of these numbers comes across as a feature, not a bug, of Elwes’s story… the narrative is enlivened by explorations of the peculiarities of math history…

    … Archimedes tried to estimate how many grains of sand would be needed to fill up the known universe, back in the third century B.C. Did he simply have too much time on his hands? Not at all, insists Elwes: The Greek thinker was articulating an important idea — that no matter how unfathomably large a quantity may be, we can describe it with precision, thanks to mathematics. “Archimedes,” he writes, “was penning a manifesto for the expressive power of large numbers.”…

    … [Elwes focuses] on numbers that are ridiculously large and yet finite. In the end, perhaps this is the most mind-boggling fact of all: that these enormous numbers, from Graham’s number to Fish 7 and beyond, fall as far short of infinity as does the humble number 1…

    As we enumerate enormity, we might spare a thought for a seminal mathematician, Alan Turing; he died on this date in 1954. He was a foundational computer science pioneer (inventor of the Turing Machine (an influential model for the general-purpose computer), creator of the “Turing Test” (only too relevant in these AI-infected times), inspiration for “The Turing Award” (the “Nobel Prize of computing“), and cryptographer (leading member of the team that cracked the Enigma code during WWII).
