Ducks Know Game Theory
A Beautiful Math: John Nash, Game Theory, and the Modern Quest for a Code of Nature (2006) The ducks, naturally, were delighted with this experiment, so they all rapidly paddled into position. But then Harper’s helpers began tossing the bread onto two separated patches of the pond. At one spot, the bread tosser dispensed…

First Principals of Quantum Mechanics
Of course the discussions are leading me to gather my thoughts on things, as they are being spoken too, by Bloggingheads. A Life of the Genius Ramanujanby Robert Kanigel Srinivas Ramanujan (1887-1920)In the past few decades, we have witnessed how Ramanujan’s contributions have made such a profound impact on various branches of mathematics. The book,…

Pattern recognition
“To understand is to perceive patterns” – Isaiah Berlin Namagiri, the consort of the lion god Narasimha. Ramanujan believed that he existed to serve as Namagiri´s champion – Hindu Goddess of creativity. In real life Ramanujan told people that Namagiri visited him in his dreams and wrote equations on his tongue. Pattern recognition is a…

The Artist In Us All
““Deep play means no analysis, no explanation, no promises, no goals, no worries. You are completely open to the drama of life that may unfold.”“-Dianne Ackerman See more on Deep Play. This post entry under the heading of the “Artist in us All,” is a culmination of information that I had transmitted on Bee’s discussion…

Are there Patterns to Life?
Its grandness, goodness, beauty and perfection are unexcelled. Our one universe, indeed, the only one of its kind, has come to be.Timaeus concludes I was just thinking about the idea of being a mathematical structure, and having been made aware of Max Tegmark, it drew me back to the idea of the “soccer ball universe.”…

Mersenne Prime: One < the Power of two
It looks as though primes tend to concentrate in certain curves that swoop away to the northwest and southwest, like the curve marked by the blue arrow. (The numbers on that curve are of the form x(x+1) + 41, the famous prime-generating formula discovered by Euler in 1774.) This is part of the education of…

Raphael the Painter
By ‘dilating’ and ‘expanding’ the scope of our attention we not only discover that ‘form is emptiness’ (the donut has a hole), but also that ’emptiness is form’ (objects precipitate out of the larger ‘space’) – to use Buddhist terminology. The emptiness that we arrive at by narrowing our focus on the innermost is identical…

Pattern Recognition
Strominger: That was the problem we had to solve. In order to count microstates, you need a microscopic theory. Boltzmann had one–the theory of molecules. We needed a microscopic theory for black holes that had to have three characteristics: One, it had to include quantum mechanics. Two, it obviously had to include gravity, because black…

Past Life Bleed Throughs?
In studying over the many years, certain concepts and ideas brought from other cultures stayed with me of course, while I explored the dream world enviroment on my own. The idea here is that similar patterns used in construction of mandalic interpetations, serve to illustrate model applications, that when bleeding, overlap experiences, whether they be…

Intuitively Compelling
While it does appear that Einstein has indeed given us a paradigm which was indeed world-changing and affected everyone, how well might he have known himself? He was “driven,” as to the” focus and outcome” of GR’s growth? Yet, being Jewish, and the meaning he might have had for God(Old ONe) had a perspective about…
