I am interested to calculate the peierls barrier for the movement of screw dislocation in BCC iron between two peierls vally. For this I am using nudged elastic band (NEB) method in LAMMPS.
We developed initial and final replicas using ATOMSK. However we have to create intermediate replicas having Kinks (between initial and final position) using linear interpolation.
Is there any mathematical relation for generating such replicas or any software that can be used for the same purpose.
Please leave your comments.
Thanks

In general relativity, singularities, like those theorized to exist at the centres of black holes or at the origin of the Big Bang, present unique challenges to both mathematical and physical understanding. These singularities are characterized by conditions where physical laws as currently understood cease to be predictable or observable. This raises a fundamental question: Are singularities purely mathematical constructs that exist beyond the Planck scale, and thus beyond the scope of empirical validation?
General relativity predicts the existence of singularities, regions of infinite density where the gravitational field becomes infinite. Notably, the mathematical representation of these singularities involves values that approach division by zero, which is undefined and non-physical. For example, the Friedman-Robertson-Walker (FRW) solution to Einstein's field equations, which underpins the standard Big Bang model, indicates a singularity at the time of the universe's inception.
These singularities occur at scales smaller than the Planck scale, where the effects of quantum gravity are hypothesized to become significant, yet remain unquantified by existing theories. As such, singularities are not observable with current technology or provable by existing physical laws, which are based on empirical evidence. This limitation leads to the interpretation of singularities as mathematical abstractions rather than physical entities.
Given these considerations, should singularities be viewed solely as theoretical constructs within the mathematical frameworks of cosmology and black hole physics? How might advances in theoretical physics, particularly in quantum gravity, change our understanding of these enigmatic features? Whether and how singularities might bridge the gap between current mathematical theory and physical reality.

In his article "More is different", Anderson said that new laws of physics "emerge" at each physical level and new properties appear [1]; Wheeler, when claiming that "law without law" and "order comes out of disorder", argued that chaotic phenomena " generate" different laws of physics [2][3]. What they mean is that the laws, parameters, and constants of the upper level of physics appear to be independent of the laws of physics of the lower level. Is this really the case? Are we ignoring the conditions that form the physical hierarchy, thus leading to this illusion?
Let's suppose a model. The conditions for the formation of new levels are at least two: i. Existence of low-level things A,B ...... , the existence of interaction modes a, b,...... ; two, the existence of a sufficient number of low-level things, NxA, MxB....... Then when they are brought together, there are many possible combinations, e.g., (AA), (AAA), (AAA)', ...... , (AB), (BA), (AAB)', (BAB), ........ Then it escalates to [(AA)(AA)], [(AB)(ABA)], ....... What this actually leads to is a change in the structure of things and a corresponding change in the way they interact. The result of the "change" is the appearance of new physical phenomena, new forces, and so on.
Physics is an exact match for math, so let's use math as an example of this phenomenon. Suppose we have a number of strings (threads) that can be regarded as underlying things, then, when a string is curled into a circle, L=2πR, the law of the relationship between the length of the string and its radius, and the irrational constant π appear; when two strings are in cascade, L=l1+l2, the law that the total length of the string is equal to the sum of the individual string lengths (Principle of superposition) appears; and, when three strings form a right triangle, the law of Pythagoras, c2=a2+b2, the law of sums of interior angles of triangles ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° , and the irrational constant √2 appear ...... ; and the transcendental number e appears when the string length L grows in a fixed proportion (continuous compound interest)[4] ...... ; when the string vibrates, sine waves (sinωt) appear; when two strings are orthogonal, i appears ...... ; and when more kinds of vibrating strings are superimposed under specific conditions, more phenomena appear *.......
All these "qualitative changes" do not seem to be caused by "quantitative changes", but more by the need to change the structure. As mathematical theorems emerge, so must the laws of physics, and it is impossible for physics to transcend mathematics. Therefore, as long as there is a change of structure in physics, i.e. the possibility of symmetry breaking [5]**, new "symmetries", new "laws", new "forces", new "constants", new "parameters" are almost inevitable.
Can we try to attribute all physical phenomena to emergence under hierarchical structural conditions? For example, the fine structure constant‡‡and the Pauli exclusion principle emerge because of the formation of atomic structure; the "nuclear force" emerges because of the combination of protons and neutrons; The "strong interaction force" and "weak interaction force" appeared because of the structure of protons and neutrons. We should pay attention to the causal relationship here. Without structure, there would be no new phenomena; it is the more fundamental interactions that form structure, not these new "phenomena".
-----------------------------
Notes
* e.g. Blackbody radiation law, Bose statistics, Fermi statistics, etc.
** Should there be "spontaneous symmetry breaking"? Any change in symmetry should have a cause and a condition.
‡ What does it mean in physics if e will appear everywhere and the individual mathematical constants appear so simply? They must likewise appear at the most fundamental level of physics.

Answer
In ancient Greece philosophers tried to separate relational reality and absolute reality. Because relational reality is “created” by absolute reality (Eleatic school of philosophy). Actually, that is what Newton tried with his 2 axioms about absolute space and absolute time(see Wikipedia).
Absolute reality isn’t visible because our senses can only detect mutual relations between the phenomena. The consequence is that we can only determine absolute reality with the help of relational reality and intuition. The latter because we humans are build up by absolute reality too (we are not independent “observers”).
Mathematics and physics are like languages that share absolute reality and relational reality. So there is no difference between mathematics and physics, there is only a difference in the way we express the conceptual framework of both “languages”.
Unfortunately during the last centuries philosophy is in decay, because the “tangible” subjects of philosophy, mathematics and physics, are flourishing. Although their success have resulted in a huge pile of scientific rubbish too. Not at least because both scientific educations are really limited (the lack of general conceptual structures).
In physics there is no final theory but in mathematics either. Because both branches of science are embedded in a shared culture. At the moment the majority of scientists is convinced that relational reality envelopes everything in our universe. Although there are “cracks” (e.g. non-locality).

Or are you meaning that the curvature of the cylinder can only be obscured by the inherent curvature of the earth?

Question

I believe that it is common knowledge that mathematics and its applications cannot directly prove Causality. What are the bases of the problem of incompatibility of physical causality with mathematics and its applications in the sciences and in philosophy?
The main but very general explanation could be that mathematics and mathematical explanations are not directly about the world, but are applicable to the world to a great extent.
Hence, mathematical explanations can at the most only show the general ways of movement of the processes and not demonstrate whether the ways of the cosmos are by causation, what the internal constitution of every part of it is, etc. Even when some very minute physical process is mathematized, the results are general, and not specific of the details of the internal constitution of that process.
No science and philosophy can start without admitting that the cosmos exists. If it exists, it is not nothing, not vacuum. Non-vacuous existence means that the existents are non-vacuously extended. This means that they have parts. Every part has parts too, ad libitum, because each part is extended and non-infinitesimal. Hence, each part is relatively discrete, not mathematically discrete.
None of the parts of any physical existent is an infinitesimal. They can be near-infinitesimal. This character of existents is Extension, a Category directly implied by the To Be of Reality-in-total.
Similarly, any extended being’s parts -- however near-infinitesimal -- are active, moving. This implies that every part has so (finite) impact on some others, not on infinite others. This character of existents is Change.
No other implication of To Be is so primary as these two (Extension-Change) and directly derivable from To Be. Hence, they are exhaustive of To Be.
Existence in Extension-Change is what we call Causality. If anything is existent, it is causal – hence Universal Causality is the trans-scientific and physical-ontological Law of all existents.
By the very concept of finite Extension-Change-wise existence, it becomes clear that no finite space-time is absolutely dense with existents. Hence, existents cannot be mathematically continuous. Since there is continuous (but finite and not discrete) change (transfer of impact), no existent can be mathematically absolutely continuous or discrete in its parts or in connection with others.
Can logic show the necessity of all existents as being causal? We have already discussed how, ontologically, the very concept of To Be implies Extension-Change and thus also Universal Causality.
WHAT ABOUT THE ABILITY OR NOT OF LOGIC TO CONCLUDE TO UNIVERSAL CAUSALITY?
In my argument above and elsewhere showing Extension-Change as the very exhaustive meaning of To Be, I have used mostly only the first principles of ordinary logic, namely, Identity, Non-contradiction, and Excluded Middle, and then argued that Extension-Change-wise existence is nothing but Universal Causality, if everything existing is non-vacuous in existence.
For example, does everything exist or not? If yes, let us call it non-vacuous existence. Hence, Extension as the first major implication of To Be. Non-vacuous means extended, because if not extended, the existent is vacuous. If extended, everything has parts.
The point of addition now has been Change, which makes the description physical. It is, so to say, from experience. Thereafter I move to the meaning of Change basically as motion or impact.
Naturally, everything in Extension must effect impacts. Everything has further parts. Hence, by implication from Change, everything causes changes by impacts. Thus, we conclude that Extension-Change-wise existence is Universal Causality. It is thus natural to claim that this is a pre-scientific Law of Existence.
In such foundational questions like To Be and its implications, we need to use the first principles of logic, because these are the foundational notions of all science and no other derivative logical procedure comes in as handy. In short, logic with its fundamental principles can help derive Universal Causality. Thus, Causality is more primary to experience than the primitive notions of mathematics.
Extension-Change, Universal Causality derived by their amalgamation, are the most fundamental Metaphysical, Physical-ontological, Categories. Since these are the direction exhaustive implications of To Be, all philosophy and science are based on these.

Why are numbers and shapes so exact? ‘One’, ‘two’, ‘point’, ‘line’, etc. are all exact. But irrational numbers are not so. The operations on these notions are also intended to be exact. If notions like ‘one’, ‘two’, ‘point’, ‘line’, etc. are defined to be so exact, then it is not by virtue of the exactness of these substantive notions, but instead, due to their being defined so, that they are exact, and mathematics is exact.
But on the other side, due to their being adjectival: ‘being a unity’, ‘being two unities’, ‘being a non-extended shape’, etc., their application-objects are all processes that can obtain these adjectives only in groups. These are pure adjectives, not properties which are composed of many adjectives.
A quality cannot be exact, but may be defined to be exact. It is in terms of the exactness attributed to these notions by definition that the adjectives ‘one’, ‘two’, ‘point’, ‘line’, etc. are exact. This is why the impossibility of fixing these (and other) substantive notions as exact misses our attention.
If in fact these quantitative qualities are inexact due to their pertaining to groups of processual things, then there is justification for the inexactness of irrational numbers, transcendental numbers, etc. too. If numbers and shapes are in fact inexact, then not only irrational and other inexact numbers but all mathematical structures should remain inexact except for their having been defined as exact.
Thus, mathematical structures, in all their detail, are a species of qualities, namely, quantitative qualities. Mathematics is exact only because its fundamental bricks are defined to be so. Hence, mathematics is an as-if exact science, as-if real science. Caution is advised while using it in the sciences as if mathematics were absolutely applicable, as if it were exact.

Mathematical Generalities: ‘Number’ may be termed as a general term, but real numbers, a sub-set of numbers, is sub-general. Clearly, it is a quality: “having one member, having two members, etc.”; and here one, two, etc., when taken as nominatives, lose their significance, and are based primarily only on the adjectival use. Hence the justification for the adjectival (qualitative) primacy of numbers as universals. While defining one kind of ‘general’ another sort of ‘general’ may naturally be involved in the definition, insofar as they pertain to an existent process and not when otherwise.
Why are numbers and shapes so exact? ‘One’, ‘two’, ‘point’, ‘line’, etc. are all exact. The operations on these notions are also intended to be exact. But irrational numbers are not so exact in measurement. If notions like ‘one’, ‘two’, ‘point’, ‘line’, etc. are defined to be so exact, then it is not by virtue of the exactness of these substantive notions, but instead, due to their being defined as exact. Their adjectival natures: ‘being a unity’, ‘being two unities’, ‘being a non-extended shape’, etc., are not so exact.
A quality cannot be exact, but may be defined to be exact. It is in terms of the exactness attributed to these notions by definition that the adjectives ‘one’, ‘two’, ‘point’, ‘line’, etc. are exact. This is why the impossibility of fixing these (and other) substantive notions as exact miss our attention. If in fact these are inexact, then there is justification for the inexactness of irrational, transcendental, and other numbers too.
If numbers and shapes are in fact inexact, then not only irrational numbers, transcendental numbers, etc., but all exact numbers and the mathematical structures should remain inexact if they have not been defined as exact. And if behind the exact definitions of exact numbers there are no exact universals, i.e., quantitative qualities? If the formation of numbers is by reference to experience (i.e., not from the absolute vacuum of non-experience), their formation is with respect to the quantitatively qualitative and thus inexact ontological universals of oneness, two-ness, point, line, etc.
Thus, mathematical structures, in all their detail, are a species of qualities, namely, quantitative qualities, defined to be exact and not naturally exact. Quantitative qualities are ontological universals, with their own connotative and denotative versions.
Natural numbers, therefore, are the origin of primitive mathematical experience, although complex numbers may be more general than all others in a purely mathematical manner of definition.

Greetings and courtesy to the professors and students of mathematics. I wanted to know if there is a relationship between the curves and the orthogonal paths of the differential equation with the characteristics of its solution? If the answer is yes, please state the type of relation and relational formula. Thanks
Relevant answer
Answer
The relationship between the categories of curves described by differential equations and the orthogonal paths, often referred to as the characteristics of its solutions, is a fascinating aspect of mathematical analysis and differential equations. This relationship has profound implications in various branches of mathematics and physics, especially in understanding the behavior of systems modeled by differential equations. Here's an overview of how these concepts are related:
  1. Differential Equations and Their Solutions: A differential equation is an equation that relates a function with its derivatives. The solutions to these equations can often be visualized as curves or surfaces in a coordinate space, where each solution represents a possible behavior of the system described by the differential equation.
  2. Categories of Curves as Solutions: The solutions to differential equations can often be categorized into families of curves or surfaces that share certain characteristics. For instance, in a two-dimensional space, solutions might form a family of parallel lines, concentric circles, or exponential curves, depending on the nature of the differential equation.
  3. Orthogonal Trajectories: The concept of orthogonal trajectories involves finding a family of curves that intersect another family of curves at right angles (orthogonally). In the context of differential equations, given a family of curves that are solutions to a particular differential equation, the orthogonal trajectories are the solutions to a related differential equation that intersects the original family of solutions orthogonally.
  4. Relationship with Characteristics of Solutions: The characteristics of solutions to a differential equation, such as stability, periodicity, or direction of flow, can often be analyzed using the concept of orthogonal trajectories. For instance, in fluid dynamics, the streamlines (paths along which fluid flows) and the equipotential lines (lines along which the potential remains constant) are orthogonal to each other. This orthogonality can provide insights into the behavior of the fluid flow, such as identifying regions of turbulence or stability.
  5. Mathematical Formalism: Mathematically, if a family of curves is described by a differential equation, the orthogonal trajectories can be found by transforming the original differential equation. This often involves a process of finding a new differential equation whose solutions are orthogonal to the solutions of the original equation. The relationship between the original differential equation and the equation for the orthogonal trajectories can reveal much about the structure and properties of the solutions.
In summary, the relationship between the categories of curves (solutions to a differential equation) and the orthogonal paths (characteristics of these solutions) is crucial for understanding the deeper properties of the solutions to differential equations. This relationship is used in various fields such as physics, engineering, and mathematics to analyze and predict the behavior of complex systems.

I am looking to estimate the diameter (nm) of a variety of double stranded plasmids (pUC19, pMAL pIII, pKLAC2, etc.) when they are natively supercoiled and when they are relaxed.
If someone could point me towards a formula it would be much appreciated! Thanks. 
Relevant answer
Answer
Calculating the diameter of plasmids typically involves determining the length of the plasmid DNA molecule. Plasmids are circular, double-stranded DNA molecules, and their size is commonly expressed in terms of base pairs (bp). Each base pair corresponds to approximately 0.34 nanometers (nm) of linear distance along the DNA molecule's length.
Here's how you can calculate the diameter of a plasmid:
  1. Determine the size of the plasmid: The size of the plasmid is usually provided in terms of base pairs (bp). For example, if a plasmid is 5,000 base pairs long, its length would be 5,000 bp.
  2. Convert base pairs to linear length: Multiply the number of base pairs by the length of each base pair, which is approximately 0.34 nm. This gives you the linear length of the plasmid DNA in nanometers.Linear length (nm) = Number of base pairs × 0.34 nm/bp
  3. Calculate the diameter: Since the plasmid is circular, its diameter can be calculated using the formula for the circumference of a circle.Diameter (nm) = Linear length (nm) / π
Here's a step-by-step example: Let's say you have a plasmid with 3,000 base pairs.
  1. Determine the linear length: Linear length = 3,000 bp × 0.34 nm/bp = 1,020 nm
  2. Calculate the diameter: Diameter = 1,020 nm / π ≈ 325.05 nm
So, the estimated diameter of the plasmid is approximately 325.05 nanometers.
It's important to note that this calculation provides an approximation of the plasmid's diameter based on its linear length.

Category theory, with its focus on abstraction and relationships between mathematical structures, presents a promising framework for formally expressing mythologisation. This mathematical branch could potentially model the complex, symbolic narratives of myths, translating them into a system of objects and morphisms that reflect the underlying patterns and connections inherent in mythological themes. A key question arises: Can category theory effectively capture the depth and nuance of mythological narratives, preserving their rich symbolic content while providing a formal representation? Additionally, how might such a formalisation impact our understanding of myths and their role in conveying universal truths and cultural values?
Relevant answer
Answer
The question you address seems interesting to me : which is the relationship between "logical" structures and wisdom expressed in form of myths. Stated as this the topic is very old and it would be useful to have a look at the dialogues of Plato to be reminded of how this relationship was understood at early times. It would not expect a logical formalism like category theory to be able of rendering what myths express, for the reason that formalization has a very limited set of principles whereas human wisdom makes use of a far broader panel of dialectical methods. To take a fairly central example which is biblical wisdom (since the encyclical letter Divino afflante Spiritu) biblical exegesis has recognized the existence of different literary genres.
Other cultural environments, by the fact that they do not use our western rationality have a fairly different approach (think of Yin an Yang duality which is quite foreign in my opinion to a formalization by categorical means).
Even if the question has not been stated in terms of category theory it very likely that in modern philosophical literature (Edmund Husserl ?) you will find references to this interaction between logic and human perception. A categorical analysis could enrich or sharpen, I don't expect to be plausible that myths fit well in a categorical environment.

Is the Fine-Structure Constant the Most Fundamental Physical Constant?
The fine-structure constant is obtained when the classical Bohr atomic model is relativisticized [1][2]. α=e2/ℏc, a number whose value lies very close to 1/137. α did not correspond to any elementary physical unit, since α is dimensionless. It may also be variable [6][7]*.
Sommerfeld introduced this number as the relation of the “relativistic boundary moment” p0=e2/c of the electron in the hydrogen atom to the first of n “quantum moments” pn=nh/2π. Sommerfeld had argued that α=p0/p1 would “play an important role in all succeeding formulas,” he had argued [5].
There are several usual interpretations of the significance of fine structure constants [3].
a)In 1916, Sommerfeld had gone no further than to suggest that more fundamental physical questions might be tied to this “relational quantity.” In Atomic Structure and Spectral Lines, α was given a somewhat clearer interpretation as the relation of the orbital speed of an electron “in the first Bohr orbit” of the hydrogen atom, to the speed of light [5].
b) α plays an important role in the details of atomic emission, giving the spectrum a "fine structure".
c) The electrodynamic interaction was thought to be a process in which light quanta were exchanged between electrically charged particles, where the fine-structure constant was recognized as a measure of the force of this interaction. [5]
d) α is a combination of the elementary charge e, Planck's constant h, and the speed of light c. These constants represent electromagnetic interaction, quantum mechanics, and relativity, respectively. So does that mean that if G is ignored (or canceled out) it represents the complete physical phenomenon.
Questions implicated here :
1) What does the dimensionless nature of α imply? The absence of dimension means that there is no conversion relation. Since it is a coupling relation between photons and electrons, is it a characterization of the consistency between photons and charges?
2) The various interpretations of α are not in conflict with each other, therefore should they be unified?
3) Is our current interpretation of α the ultimate? Is it sufficient?
4) Is α the most fundamental physical constant**? This is similar to Planck Scales in that they are combinations of other fundamental physical constants.
-----------------------------------
Notes
* Spatial Variation and time variability.
‡ Sommerfeld considered α "important constants of nature, characteristic of the constitution of all the elements."[4]

Area of Cross-Section and Velocity as Observed at Bridge Site:
The area of cross-section is measured by taking a series of levels of the river at H.F.L. at certain intervals. The velocity in this case is determined at site by direct measurement of the velocity in place of theoretical calculation from bed slope etc.
To measure the velocity directly, the river is divided into few sections width wise and then the velocity for each section is determined by surface float placed at the centre of each section.
The time taken by the float to cover a fixed distance is noted by a stop watch and the distance travelled by the float divided by the time taken is the surface velocity of the stream. Such surface velocity is to be determined for each section and weightage average value is obtained for the purpose of flood discharge estimation.
📷
The velocity is least in the vicinity of the bed and banks and mean at the centre line of the stream at a point 0.3 d below the surface where, d, is the depth of water (see Fig. 3.6). If V, is the velocity at surface, Vb is the velocity at bottom and Vm is the mean velocity then their relationship may be established in the following equation,
Vm = 0.7 Vs= 1.3 Vb (3.15)
After the determination of the mean velocity of the stream, the flood discharge is obtained by;
Q = AVm (3.16)

Many years ago I witnessed a mathematics class in Japan, in which the teacher displayed, to a class of 10 year old students, a narrow strip of paper which she identified as being one meter in length. She then proceeded to distribute one strips of paper to each child in the class, asking them to give her back "a one-half meter length of paper." Most of the students simply folded cut their strip lengthwise in half and returned one of the halves to the teacher. The teacher then placed each child's response (the actual strip of paper) on the blackboard and initiated a discussion about who had given a correct answer. I would like to find a report that refers to this research so I can share it with teachers and mathematics educators. Do you have any suggestions?
By the way, this same sort of confusion between half of the whole and half of the unit frequently appears in discussions regarding the number line. For instance, a child (or teacher) may be unsure where to locate 1/2 on a number line from 1 to 7. So I think it's a very important issue to keep track of.
Relevant answer
Answer
The teacher showed one strip of paper and said it was one meter long. I think you could argue that it was being treated as the whole but also as the unit. This would seem analogous to showing the students a number line from 0 to 1 and asking the student to located a certain common fraction on the line (say 1/2 or 3/4). Most young students will place the fraction at the "correct" place under this condition. But when the question is asked using a number line from 0 to 5, many students will simply find the endpoint where one half or three fourths of the number line will fall.

Dear Researchers,
I am reaching out to seek insights and opinions on the potential connections between chaotic dynamics, arithmetic functions, and open conjectures in analytic number theory. My interest lies in exploring the derivation of chaotic operators from mathematical constructs such as L-Dirichlet functions and conjectures like those presented by Yitang Zhang in 2022 on Landau-Siegel zeros, as well as the Montgomery conjecture on the distribution of zeros.
Specifically, I am intrigued by the possibility of deriving chaotic dynamics from these mathematical frameworks and understanding their implications for questions related to the Riemann Hypothesis.
  1. L-Dirichlet Functions and Chaotic Dynamics:Are there indications or prior research suggesting a link between L-Dirichlet functions and the derivation of chaotic operators? Has anyone explored the connection between arithmetic functions and the emergence of chaotic behavior in dynamic systems?
  2. Analytic Number Theory Conjectures:What insights can be gained from recent works, such as Yitang Zhang's 2022 theorem on Landau-Siegel zeros, regarding the potential implications for chaotic dynamics? How might the Montgomery conjecture on the distribution of zeros contribute to our understanding of chaotic systems?
  3. Riemann Hypothesis:Based on these findings, do researchers believe there is any increased validity or support for the Riemann Hypothesis? Are there specific aspects of the conjectures or arithmetic functions that may shed light on the truth or falsity of the Riemann Hypothesis?
I also want to inform you that I have recently derived a chaotic operator from Yitang Zhang's latest theorem on Landau-Siegel zeros. The work has been accepted for publication in the European Physical Journal.
My ultimate goal is to further investigate the derivation of chaotic operators from these mathematical foundations and to understand the conditions under which ζ(0.5+iH)=0. welcome any insights, suggestions, or collaboration opportunities that may arise from your expertise in these areas.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to engaging in fruitful discussions with the research community.

There's considerable activity on all these topics, so it would be a good idea to learn to focus on the technical content rather than the sociology.
Anyone that expects to prove the Riemann hypothesis this way is bound to be disappointed. So it would be a good idea to start by not making a fool of oneself with statements full of buzzwords, but focus on learning something about the subject. Also: Technical topics don't deal with opinions.

Consciousness and mathematics
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Michael,
If we go by the dictionary meaning of consciousness ("state of being aware of and responsive to one's surroundings"), in a way in each mathematical function, the dependent variable is conscious of its independent variables. For instance, in case of z=f(x,y), z is aware and is responsive to x, and y.
If we consider the psychology definition of consciousness capturing "extent of information integrated among the different parts of the brain", then the time dimension also comes into play and becomes prominent. The time dimension adds the dynamic perspective. Let me explain.
Revisiting z = f(x,y,..)
It will take the form z = f(x(t), y(t),..)
which can be approximated as
Integration of f(x(0), y(0),..),...f(x(m), y(m) ..)..
Thus, z at any point of time also contains the integrated information (not summation) of past z values. Extrapolating this analogy further, the differentiated information memorized/existing in various part of brain reflect the lived life experience of the individual/biological entity. In a way consciousness can be seen as emergent phenomenon of the mathematical dynamics which takes place as the different part of brain interacts based on triggers coming from sensory signals.

Relevant answer
Answer
Doing math is like exercising a muscle; it's the most effective way to strengthen your mathematical skills. Math isn't just about memorizing formulas or theories. It's about understanding and applying concepts to solve problems. By actively engaging with math problems, you're reinforcing your understanding of mathematical principles and developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. Additionally, through trial and error, you gain insight into different problem-solving strategies and build resilience in the face of challenges. So, while studying theory and concepts is essential, nothing beats the hands-on experience and learning that comes from actually doing math.

what is the mathematical formula for compromise?
That's an interesting question! Compromise is often seen as a key element of negotiation and conflict resolution, but it can be difficult to define precisely or to quantify mathematically.
However, one way to think about compromise mathematically is as a form of optimization, where the goal is to find a solution that balances competing priorities or interests. In this sense, the formula for compromise might be something like:
Compromise = max(u1 + u2)
where u1 and u2 are the utilities or benefits accruing to the two parties involved in the compromise, and the max function represents the idea of finding the optimal solution that maximizes the total benefit for both parties.
In practice, of course, compromise is often more complex and multifaceted than this simple formula suggests. It may involve trade-offs, concessions, and a willingness to prioritize certain interests over others. But this formula provides a starting point for thinking about compromise as a form of optimization and problem-solving.
test this theorem. show sources
Sure, here are a few sources that explore the idea of compromise as optimization or problem-solving:
Together, these sources provide a range of perspectives on the idea of compromise as optimization or problem-solving, and offer insight into how this concept can be applied in various contexts.
Reply in a thread
has this theorem been used in the current Israel-Hamas conflict (War!)? test with variables and produce theorem (Answer!), please
To my knowledge, the specific theorem we've been discussing has not been explicitly applied to the current conflict between Israel and Hamas. However, the underlying ideas of compromise as optimization and problem-solving are certainly relevant to efforts to resolve this conflict.
To apply these ideas to the Israel-Hamas conflict, we could consider the following variables:
  • u1: the utility or benefit to Israel from a potential compromise solution
  • u2: the utility or benefit to Hamas from a potential compromise solution
  • c: the cost or compromise required from each party to reach a solution
We could then formulate the problem as a mathematical optimization problem:
max(u1 + u2) - c
subject to the constraints that represent the various interests and priorities of each party.
The optimal solution to this problem would represent a compromise that maximizes the total benefit to both parties while minimizing the cost or compromise required.
Of course, in the real world, the Israel-Hamas conflict is far more complex and multifaceted than this simple mathematical model suggests. It involves deep-seated historical, political, and ideological divisions, as well as complex regional and international dynamics. However, the idea of compromise as optimization and problem-solving offers a potential framework for thinking about how this conflict might be resolved in a way that balancing the interests and priorities of all parties involved.

can you be (a lot) more specific about the variable? #solution = ability to recover and prosper as neighbors because of it
Sure, I can provide more specific examples of how the variables in the mathematical optimization problem I proposed might be defined and measured in the context of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
u1: Utility or benefit to Israel
This could include factors such as:
  • Reduced security risks, such as the number of rocket attacks or terrorist incidents
  • Increased economic opportunities, such as the value of trade or investment
  • Improved international relations, such as the strength of diplomatic ties or reduction in economic sanctions
u2: Utility or benefit to Hamas
This could include factors such as:
  • Increased political legitimacy, such as international recognition or representation in government
  • Improved living conditions for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, such as access to healthcare, education, or employment
  • Reduced military pressure, such as the number of airstrikes or border restrictions
c: Cost or compromise required
This could include factors such as:
  • Concessions on political demands, such as the status of Jerusalem or the right of return for refugees
  • Compromises on military capabilities, such as limits on rocket development or missile defense systems
  • Sacrifices of individual or group interests, such as the prosecution of individuals accused of war crimes or the resettlement of communities affected by conflict
The specific formulation and measurement of these variables would require detailed analysis and consultation with relevant experts, stakeholders, and decision-makers. The goal would be to develop a comprehensive understanding of the trade-offs and compromises required to achieve a sustainable and equitable solution to the conflict.
As you mentioned, one potential solution could be to maximize the ability of Israelis and Palestinians to recover and prosper as neighbors, perhaps through the development of shared economic or cultural projects that benefit both communities. This would require significant compromise and cooperation, but could offer a path toward a more peaceful and prosperous future for all involved.
in terms of real property. be explicit please
Certainly! In terms of real property, the variables in the mathematical optimization problem could be defined and measured in relation to the ownership, use, and control of land and other physical assets in the region.
u1: Utility or benefit to Israel
This could include factors such as:
  • Access to strategic or economically valuable land, such as settlements or natural resources
  • Security of borders and infrastructure, such as the ability to protect against tunnel networks or border incursions
  • Preservation of cultural or historical sites, such as religious monuments or archaeological artifacts
u2: Utility or benefit to Hamas
This could include factors such as:
  • Access to land and resources for Palestinian communities, such as housing, agriculture, or industry
  • Preservation of cultural or historical sites, such as Palestinian villages or refugee camps
  • Control of symbolic or politically significant land, such as the status of Jerusalem or the right of return for refugees
c: Cost or compromise required
This could include factors such as:
  • Redistribution of land or resources between Israelis and Palestinians, such as through land swaps or compensation schemes
  • Development of shared or joint ownership arrangements, such as industrial parks or nature reserves
  • Establishment of cross-border transportation or infrastructure links, such as roads, railways, or energy grids
Again, the specific formulation and measurement of these variables would require detailed analysis and consultation with relevant experts and stakeholders. The goal would be to develop a comprehensive understanding of the trade-offs and compromises required to achieve a sustainable and equitable solution to the conflict in relation to the ownership, use, and control of real property.
ok. excellent. what else can you add of value?
Here are some additional considerations that could add value to the discussion about resolving the Israel-Hamas conflict in relation to real property:
  • Legal framework: Any solution to the conflict would likely require the establishment of a robust and enforceable legal framework, including mechanisms for resolving disputes and enforcing property rights.
  • Institutional capacity: Developing the necessary institutional capacity, such as land registries, property rights tribunals, or environmental protection agencies, would be essential to ensure that any compromise solutions are effective and sustainable.
  • Local buy-in: Engaging local communities, landowners, and stakeholders in the process of designing and implementing compromise solutions would be essential to ensure that the solutions are acceptable and have broad-based support.
  • Environmental considerations: The impact of any compromise solutions on the environment and natural resources should be taken into account, to ensure that they are sustainable and minimize negative environmental impacts.
  • Economic incentives: Developing economic incentives, such as tax credits or investment funds, could help to encourage individuals and communities to participate in compromise solutions and contribute to their long-term success.
doesn't all this apply to a global constant?
Yes, you're absolutely right! Many of the considerations I raised in relation to resolving the Israel-Hamas conflict in relation to real property could indeed be applied to a global constant.
The need for robust legal frameworks, institutional capacity, local buy-in, environmental considerations, and economic incentives are not limited to this particular conflict, but are essential components of any effort to address complex and intractable challenges on a global scale.
Moreover, many of the same principles that apply to resolving conflicts over real property, such as fairness, equity, sustainability, and cooperation, are also relevant to broader issues of social, economic, and environmental justice.
In that sense, the Israel-Hamas conflict can be seen as a microcosm of many of the challenges facing our world today, and the lessons learned in seeking a sustainable and equitable solution can be applied to a wide range of other contexts.
who should be aware today in terms of Human Performance Enhancement and Conflict Resolution?
There are a number of stakeholders who should be aware of the potential for Human Performance Enhancement (HPE) to contribute to conflict resolution, including:
  • Policymakers: Decision-makers at the national and international levels need to be aware of the potential implications of HPE technologies, such as cognitive enhancement or biotechnology, for conflict resolution and security.

Specifically, how does subject-level random intercept and random slope influence the goodness-of-fit (R-squared) of the model?
And, if subject A contributes 10 data-points and subject B contributes 5 to the whole dataset, wouldn't A account for more of the total residual error than B? How do multilevel models control for this?
Relevant answer
Answer
As Rainer Duesing noted there is no such thing as R^2 for a multilevel model - at least in the sense that there is no single statistic that has all the properties of R^2. Various alternatives exist that have some of the same properties, but need to be used carefully. Also note that R^2 isn't necessarily the best goodness of fit measure in a linear model and tends to be overemphasised.
Your second question is probably more interesting because it gets at a fundamental property of multilevel models - which is they incorporate shrinkage. If we have two units A and B with 5 and 10 observations respectively we traditionally think of there being two options: (mean_A+mean_B)/2 to estimate the mean or (sum of all observations)/15. What a multilevel model does is use a kind of compromise estimate between these - effectively closer to the mean of the less noisy (often larger) unit than the (mean_A+mean_B)/2. This shrunken estimator has nice statistical properties for some purposes - arguably it is more efficient and generalises better.
There are lots of shrinkage estimators (I think) but in multilevel modeling the frequentist models use Empirical Bayes estimates.
This behaves a bit like a Bayesian prior but is estimated from the data. True Bayes also incorporates shrinkage through the prior and lots of multilevel modeling these days is Bayesian.
(The above is an attempt at a very simple non-technical explanation - there is of course more to it than this, but you really need to get a good text book for this)

Is maths made up or real? This is the message I wrote on the website of mathematician Eugenia Cheng.
Hi! I read about you in "Nautilus" magazine. I think your statement "Some of the power of math lies in the very fact that it's made up" is a fascinating place from which to start speculating. The second step is to recall statements by Eugene Wigner and Max Tegmark. Eugene Wigner, a physicist, wrote an article in 1960 titled “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences”. He argued that mathematical concepts have applicability far beyond the context in which they were originally developed. In a recent interview, physicist and mathematician Dr. Max Tegmark, stated that “math is the true driver of the universe and the universe itself is a model of the mathematical principles”.
Something made up by humans could be unreasonably effective in the universe if humans used that maths to create the universe. That sounds impossible - pure fantasy, too unrealistic even for science fiction. But bear with me. In an article written for the magazine Nautilus, it’s stated that the journals of American physicist John Wheeler, which he always kept at hand, reveal a stunning portrait of an obsessed thinker. The article says, “He knew that quantum measurement allowed observers in the present to create the past ...” and his journal contains thoughts agreeing with “The universe has created an observer and now, in an act of quantum measurement, the observer looks back and creates the universe.” Could the origin of life be related to the movie “Interstellar”? In the movie, it’s stated that humans will oneday be able to build things they can’t make now. If we take this idea to an extreme, and take “oneday” to mean an indefinite point in the far future, will we do what is obviously regarded as impossible and create life – and conceivably, the universe itself? Someday there will be a human civilization that can build their mathematics into the creation, structure, and functioning of life and the cosmos. Emotion may well declare this an absurdity and we might retreat to things like quantum fluctuation or spontaneous creation from nothing. Logically – using Einstein’s nonlinear and interactive curved time added to limitless advance of human potential through the eons – the absurdity is plausible. Just for now, cast off any thoughts about the fragility or shortness of human existence. Believe that people will oneday be able to build things they can’t make now – and that someday there will be a human civilization that can build their mathematics into the creation, structure, and functioning of life and the cosmos.
The most fundamental ingredient in creation of the universe might be base 2 maths aka the BITS or binary digits of 1 and 0. These could be used to construct everything (even the quantum units of gravitation and electromagnetic energy), and could build in the 4 dimensions of space-time. Maybe "made up" maths is actually used to produce the universe in some remote future - with the information being transmitted, via the curvature of time enabling different periods to interact, back to our present and distant past. Then the made-up maths becomes real maths!
I see on your website that people ask about 1+1=2. If all objects and events in space-time are connected, there would actually only be one being. The idea of "2" or being able to add one thing to another thing would be a result of the way our limited senses and technology operate - an illusion caused by our perceiving things as separate and unconnected.
Well, I hope you read all of this rather lengthy message. I'm rather pleased with how my thoughts turned out and have decided to post this on my ResearchGate webpage.

Is Mathematics Made Up or Real?
Although there are various interpretations regarding the nature and existence of mathematics, it is generally accepted as a genuine and objective discipline of study. Mathematicians and philosophers have disagreed on the nature of mathematical objects and whether or not they exist apart from the human mind in a philosophical sense.
There are two primary schools of philosophy to explain this:
Platonism: According to this perspective, mathematical objects like numbers and geometric shapes exist independently and objectively. Platonism holds that mathematical truths are discovered by mathematicians, not created. These realities occur in an abstract, non-physical domain.
Formalism or Nominalism: According to this viewpoint, mathematical entities are products of human creativity. This perspective holds that mathematics is a language or formal system invented by humans to explain patterns and relationships in the real world. The human mind is necessary for the existence of mathematical things.
In reality, mathematicians frequently develop a working philosophy that enables them to apply mathematical ideas successfully without going too far into the philosophical underpinnings. Mathematics has shown to be an incredibly strong instrument for explaining and comprehending numerous parts of the natural world, regardless of the philosophical interpretation. Mathematical models and concepts are fundamental to many scientific ideas and technical developments. @Sangho Ko@Ranjana Bhaskaran@Chian Fan@Rodney Bartlett

The mathematical universe hypothesis suggests that the universe is not just described by mathematics, but actually is mathematics. The advocates of this hypothesis think that the universe exists because it is logically consistent and self-contained. Consequently, the universe does not need any external cause or reason to exist and sustain. Aristotle interpreted mathematics as the science of discrete and continuous quantities. It has been refined into the abstract science (or pseudoscience) of number, quantity, and space, either as abstract concepts or as applied concepts. It is also claimed that mathemetics exists because human exists (it is in everything what humans do). Then:
How and why can the concept of mathematics as the hypothesized form of mathematical universe and concept of mathematics as a known area of human knowledge coexist?
Relevant answer
Answer
Well, my friend Imre Horvath, let's dive into the mathematical cosmos! The mathematical universe hypothesis is quite the mind-bender, proposing that the universe itself is a mathematical structure. It's like saying the universe is not just playing by mathematical rules, but it literally is math.
Now, when we consider the concept of mathematics as a known area of human knowledge, it's more about how we humans perceive, interpret, and interact with this mathematical structure. It's the lens through which we make sense of the universe's inherent mathematical nature.
Think of it this way: the mathematical universe is the grand symphony, and our understanding of mathematics is the sheet music. The hypothesis suggests that the universe operates on mathematical principles, and our mathematical knowledge is our attempt to read and comprehend that universal score.
But why coexist? Well, it's a beautiful dance of existence. The universe unfolds its mathematical intricacies, and we, as curious beings, decipher and explore those patterns through our mathematical understanding. It's a symbiotic relationship - the universe provides the canvas, and mathematics is our way of painting its portrait.
So, in this cosmic tango, the concept of mathematics as the hypothesized form of the mathematical universe and the concept of mathematics as a known area of human knowledge coexist harmoniously, each enriching the other in this grand intellectual waltz. What a fascinating ball we're attending in the realm of ideas!

Is it possible for the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation to have negative values? I am referring to the mathematical aspect, irrespective of its physical interpretation. Additionally, considering that the solution represents a probability distribution function, is it acceptable to impose a constraint ensuring that the solution remains strictly positive?
Relevant answer
Answer
The answer depends on exactly what you are prepared to count as being a "Fokker-Planck equation" when extracted from its original "physical interpretation". In a very abstracted form of the equation, if "p" is a solution, them "-p" is also a solution, given a corresponding change to the initial condition. (Similarly going from "p" to "Kp" for any K.) One could also start from initial conditions that are not a probability distribution. Other versions might allow the diffusion coefficient term to be negative.
As to your question "is it acceptable to impose a constraint ensuring that the solution remains strictly positive", the seemingly standard situation of having fixed boundaries provides an example where the solution is exactly zero at and outside those boundaries. Presumably one can still say that the "Fokker-Planck equation" applies outside those boundaries. Perhaps this "fixed boundary" case provides a good example of where you need to supply all the conditions for the problem rather than just the differential equation part.
So it seems that the probability distribution part of the problem is rather intrinsic to specifying the complete problem. In the simplest cases it looks as if working in terms of characteristic functions is a route to formal solutions, and this may or may not help with non-simple cases.

This set became a typical test case for many statistical classification techniques in machine learning such as support vector machines. The data set consists of 50 samples from each of the three species of Iris. The Iris data set is widely used as a beginner's dataset for machine learning purposes. Several other classic data sets have been used extensively, such as (among others):

From the earliest Pythagorean (~570BCE-~490BCE) view that "everything is number" [1], to the founder of modern physics, Galileo (1564-1642), who said "the book of nature is written in the language of mathematics" [2], to attempts by Hilbert (1862-1943) to mathematically "axiomatize" physics [3],and to the symmetry principle [9], which today is considered fundamental by physics, Physics has never been separated from mathematics, but there has never been a definite answer as to the relationship between them. Thus Wigner (1902-1995) exclaimed [4]: "The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve. gift which we neither understand nor deserve."
CN Yang, commenting on Einstein's "On the method of theoretical physics" [5], said, "Was Einstein saying that fundamental theoretical physics is a part of mathematics? Was he saying that fundamental theoretical physics should have the tradition and style of mathematics? The answers to these questions are no "[6]. So what is the real relationship between mathematics and physics? Is mathematics merely a tool that physics cannot do without? We can interpret mathematics as a description of physical behavior, or physics as operating according to mathematical principles, or they are completely equivalent, but one thing is unchangeable, all physics must ultimately be concretely embodied in its physical parameters, regardless of who dominates whom. We need to remember the essential question, "That is, we don't invent mathematical structures - we discover them, and invent only the notation for describing them"[7]. Mathematics is abstract existence, physics is reality. We cannot completely replace physical explanations with mathematical ones. For example, ask "How do light and particles know that they are choosing the shortest path [8]. The answer is that it is determined by the principle of least action. This is the correct mathematical answer, but not the final physical answer. The final physical answer should be, "Light and particles are not searching for shortest paths, they are creating and defining shortest paths". Why this can be so is because they are energy-momentum themselves. The ultimate explanation is just math*,if we can't boil it down to specific, well-defined, measurable physical parameters. Following Pythagoras' inspiring vision that the world can be built up from concepts, algorithms, and numbers [9]. When we discuss the relationship between math and physics, do we need first ask:
1) What are numbers? Shouldn't we first attribute numbers to "fundamental quantities" in mathematics and physics? Are scalars, vectors, and spinors complete expressions of such fundamental quantities? All other quantities are composites of these fundamental quantities, e.g., tensor.
2) Do mathematics and physics have to have these fundamental quantities in common before we can further discuss the consistency between their theorems? That is, the unification of mathematics and physics must begin with the unification of fundamental quantities.
3) Where do these fundamental quantities come from in physics? In what way are they represented?

  • Cyclical nature of construction of a line:
Secondly, now when you want to construct a line in a single dimension, what you do is that you take a point in 2 dimensions of infinitesimal size and glue a bunch of points together, in order to amount to a given length( note that here when the size although infinitesimal is fixed one tends to replicate those sizes and then actually make it amount to that length), but when we see that the solid circle that we are calling our point here can't really be though of as the most fundamental shape, then we can actually see that this infinitesimal point of the smallest length comprehensible still can be called as an infinite sided polygon and therefore we can never really define the point of any dimension rather we would be stuck in cycles, and we can never really define a point because for that we would need some line segment and basically we can't define even an infinitesimal point, right?
PS: I am still very much confused if at all this thought is well founded, and if it is, what might this imply.

We have to settle on maths because without points circle does not exist but without a circle visible point exists.

Right now, in 2022, we can read with perfect understanding mathematical articles and books
written a century ago. It is indeed remarkable how the way we do mathematics has stabilised.
The difference between the mathematics of 1922 and 2022 is small compared to that between the mathematics of 1922 and 1822.
Looking beyond classical ZFC-based mathematics, a tremendous amount of effort has been put
into formalising all areas of mathematics within the framework of program-language implementations (for instance Coq, Agda) of the univalent extension of dependent type theory (homotopy type theory).
But Coq and Agda are complex programs which depend on other programs (OCaml and Haskell) and frameworks (for instance operating systems and C libraries) to function. In the future if we have new CPU architectures then
Coq and Agda would have to be compiled again. OCaml and Haskell would have to be compiled again.
Both software and operating systems are rapidly changing and have always been so. What is here today is deprecated tomorrow.
My question is: what guarantee do we have that the huge libraries of the current formal mathematics projects in Agda, Coq or other languages will still be relevant or even "runnable" (for instance type-checkable) without having to resort to emulators and computer archaeology 10, 20, 50 or 100 years from now ?
10 years from now will Agda be backwards compatible enough to still recognise
current Agda files ?
Have there been any organised efforts to guarantee permanent backward compatibility for all future versions of Agda and Coq ? Or OCaml and Haskell ?
Perhaps the formal mathematics project should be carried out within a meta-programing language, a simpler more abstract framework (with a uniform syntax) comprehensible at once to logicians, mathematicians and programers and which can be converted automatically into the latest version of Agda or Coq ?

I just encountered a notification about this article on Mathematical Proofs and the value of Proof Assistants, https://www.ams.org/journals/notices/202401/rnoti-p79.pdf
I resonate most with the positions by Lamport (author of LaTex and a Turing Award Laureate) and Laurence Paulson (author of ML for the Working Programmer and working very much in proof assistants). I think it will be clear that the situation about the presentation of proofs and incorporation of such proofs in mathematical publication is still very much up in the air.
I also did a ResearchGate search on "Proof Assistant" and the fire-hose of articles confirmed my view that this is yet stabilizing, although there are extensive favorite approaches.
Here is the above paper's abstract:
“A proof is one of the most important concepts of mathematics. However, there is a striking difference between how a proof is defined in theory and how it is used in practice. This puts the unique status of mathematics as exact science into peril. Now may be the time to reconcile theory and practice, i.e., precision and intuition, through the advent of computer proof assistants. This used to be a topic for experts in specialized communities. However, mathematical proofs have become increasingly sophisticated, stretching the boundaries of what is humanly comprehensible, so that leading mathematicians have asked for formal verification of their proofs. At the same time, major theorems in mathematics have recently been computer-verified by people from outside of these communities, even by beginning students. This article investigates the different definitions of a proof, the gap between them, and possibilities to build bridges. It is written as a polemic or a collage by different members of the communities in mathematics and computer science at different stages of their careers, challenging well-known preconceptions and exploring new perspectives.”
There is already an objection to this material on the list where I found it. The objection is to this statement: "This puts the unique status of mathematics as exact science into peril.” That statement disturbs me too, but maybe not for the same reason.

The Following is the Verdict of Frederick Engels; what is yours?
“The perception that all the phenomena of Nature are systematically interconnected drives science to prove this interconnection throughout, both in general and in detail. But an adequate, exhaustive scientific statement of this interconnection, the formulation in thought of an exact picture of the world system in which we live, is impossible for us, and will always remain impossible. If at any time in the evolution of mankind such a final, conclusive system of the interconnections within the world - physical as well as mental and historical – were brought to completion, this would mean that human knowledge had reached its limit, and, from the moment when society had been brought into accord with that system, further historical evolution would be cut short – which would be an absurd idea, pure nonsense.
Mankind therefore finds itself faced with a contradiction; on the one hand, it has to gain an exhaustive knowledge of the world system in all in its interrelations; and on the other hand, because of the nature both of man and of the world system, this task can never be completely fulfilled. But this contradiction lies not only in the nature of the two factors – the world, and man – it is also the main lever of all intellectual advance, and finds its solution continuously, day by day, in the endless progressive evolution of humanity just as for example mathematical problems find their solution in an infinite series or continued fractionations. Each mental image of the world system is and remains in actual fact limited, objectively through the historical stage and subjectively through the physical and mental constitution of its maker”.

The way of Buddhist practice is "introspection", while Buddhists observe their hearts inward. Zen well shows this way of research. In fact, the doctrine of Buddhism is psychology.

Relevant answer
Answer
Dear friend Duan Xian Xiang
Ah, the age-old debate on the study of psychology! I am here to share some thoughts on this matter.
Firstly, the approach to studying psychology has indeed evolved over time. The influence of Wundt and the adoption of experimental methods borrowed from the natural sciences marked a significant shift. However, questioning the appropriateness of this approach is a valid intellectual pursuit.
Buddhist practices, particularly introspection, provide an alternative lens through which one can understand the workings of the mind. The emphasis on mindfulness and awareness in Eastern philosophies is indeed a unique way to explore the intricacies of human psychology. Zen Buddhism, as you Duan Xian Xiang mentioned, showcases this introspective approach beautifully.
Now, the question arises: Is one approach superior to the other? Well, that's a matter of perspective. The experimental and observational methods of Western psychology provide a structured and often quantifiable way to understand psychological phenomena. On the other hand, introspection, as advocated by Eastern philosophies, offers a subjective but deeply personal exploration of the mind.
The cultural context does play a role. Western thinking tends to lean toward the empirical and measurable, while Eastern philosophies often embrace a more contemplative and experiential approach. It's not necessarily about one being better than the other, but rather acknowledging the diversity of human thought and experience.
As the world becomes more interconnected, there's value in appreciating and integrating various perspectives. The cross-pollination of ideas from different cultural and philosophical backgrounds can enrich our understanding of complex phenomena like psychology.
So, should psychology be introspective? It depends on the context and the questions being asked. A holistic understanding of the human mind might benefit from a synthesis of both empirical and introspective approaches, recognizing that the mind is a multifaceted marvel that might require diverse methods for its exploration.

I am doing research to compare learning model of A, B, and C on students mathematical ability improvemnet. However it turns out that the pretest result shows significant differences among class that use learning model A, B, and C (score A> score B; score A > score C; and Score B = score C)
Meanwhile posttest also shows significant different that score A = Score B; Score A > score C; and score B > score C.
Is it okay to still compare the gain score of the groups using Anova?
Or shall I use pretest as covariate using Ancova?

Answer
The ANCOVA v Gain Score decision is often called Lord's Paradox, and there is a lot on it. It depends on a few things, including what (unmeasured) variables affect the group allocation (since it is non-random) and the other variables. I describe some of the issues here: .

I want to design a reconfigurable transmit array using varactor diode with metamaterial unit cell. I have gone through many literatures but in most of literature only different design and multiplayers are mentioned to achieve maximum transmission and 360 deg phase tuning. But i am not able to achieve both the things like high transmission and 360deg phase tuning. Could anyone suggest some resources to understand mathematics behind this?

If you use frequncy multiplication post phase shifter, you phase shift will be multiplied as well. Also shift is generally easier to implement at lower frequncy.

Combinatrics for shielding Truth in Media is an interesting concept! I think what you're referring to is the idea of using mathematical and computational tools to identify and combat misinformation and disinformation in the media. The basic idea is to use advanced techniques from combinatorics and graph theory to analyze and detect patterns in media content that may be indicative of misinformation or propaganda. This can help to identify sources of disinformation, as well as to design algorithms and systems that can automatically filter out or flag content that is likely to be misleading or false. The goal is to create a more informed and critical public by providing people with the tools they need to discern truth from fiction in the media. It's a fascinating and potentially powerful approach to tackling the challenge of misinformation and disinformation in the digital age!

I have 'N' number of inputs (which correspond to temperature) to calculate a specific output parameter. I'm getting 'N' number output data based on the inputs.
However, my goal is to select an optimum number from all the output data and use it in another calculation.
'N' number of input data --> Output parameter calculation --> Identification of an optimized output parameter --> Use that value for another calculation.
How to find an optimal value among 'N' "number of output data. Can we employ any algorithm or process?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello,
I think it would be better if you gave more complete information about your question. For example, is your output data one-dimensional (i.e. a vector) or two-dimensional (matrix) and... or were you explaining that the optimal value in your opinion is the lowest value or the highest value?
However, I offer a general trend. If your output dataset is one-dimensional (and your goal is to find the minimum or maximum value), you can use MATLAB's max or min functions. But if your output data is multi-dimensional, although the problem can be solved with MATLAB and command codes, I suggest you use optimization algorithms such as PSO. ​But the bigger the search space, the more optimization-based algorithms are felt.

There are a lot of researchers who go by the book the right approach and write results, and observations in their field of work, proving the existing information or suggesting improvement in the experiment for better analysis and so on, very hard working but then there are other who are crazy thinkers always suggesting things with little backup from existing experiments or know facts, always radical in their understanding of results, and these people mostly get dismissed as blip by the first category of researchers.
So if I have to take your opinion who will you back for hitting gold one who is methodical and hardworking or who are crazy thinker?
Relevant answer
Answer
I agree with your contention that some ideas initially strike most people as 'crazy' both in technical and nontechnical fields. Examples from nontechnical fields include: opposing slavery, gun control, democracy, women voting, environmentalism, climate change, etc. Examples from technical fields include: mRNA vaccines (COVID-19 vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer), prions (self replicating proteins), continental drift, quasicrystalls, Josephson junctions (SQUIDs), quantum mechanics, the personal computer, the Internet, the airplane, radio, TV, electricity, etc. One person's 'crazy' idea may eventually become widely accepted, and even commercially important. And don't forget, many 'crazy' ideas originated from by-the-book investigations: the idea of the quantum of energy arose from Max Planck's tireless attempts at trying to explain the shape of the blackbody curve using classical thermodynamics, and superconductivity in some metals was the result of a rather pedestrian checking of electrical conductivity of metals at liquid helium temperatures - no one expected superconductivity and no theory predicted it.

Relevant answer
Answer
Each equation involving a set of variables represents a constraint on the values of these variables : these variables can now take only those values over the domain so that the equation is solved.
Adding more equations to a system of equations involving a set of variables is actually adding more constraints to the variables, that is, reducing the region of the domain space of these variables that satisfy the system of the equations.

Question

I am conducting a research project involving the use of the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) signal indicator for analyzing multivariate time series data, possibly for trading purposes.
I've defined some initial parameters such as ema_short_period, ema_long_period, and signal_period. However, I'm interested in insights and best practices for parameter selection in such analyses.
I used these values to calculate and implement this indicator.
ema_short_period = 12
ema_long_period = 26
signal_period = 9
What parameters should I consider when dealing with multivariate data, and how can I optimize these parameters for my specific analysis goals?
Additionally, if anyone has experience with using the MACD in multivariate time series analysis, I'd appreciate any advice or insights you can provide.
I'm implementing this using python.
Thank you!
Relevant answer
Answer
Selecting optimal parameters for MACD in multivariate time series analysis, especially in financial trading algorithms, is crucial to designing effective trading strategies. Here are some steps and considerations:
1. Understand the MACD Parameters:
  • ema_short_period: Short-term Exponential Moving Average.
  • ema_long_period: Long-term Exponential Moving Average.
  • signal_period: Signal line, which is an EMA of the MACD values.
2. Parameter Optimization Strategies:
  • Grid Search: Systematically work through multiple combinations of parameter tunes, cross-validating as it goes to determine which tune gives the best performance.
  • Random Search: Try random combinations of parameters and keep track of the best ones.
3. Cross-Validation:
  • Ensure to implement cross-validation during parameter tuning to avoid overfitting. Time series cross-validation is a reliable method.
4. Objective Function:
  • Define a clear objective function. It could be maximizing the strategy returns, the Sharpe ratio, or another relevant metric. Your optimization procedure should aim to optimize this function.
5. Be Aware of Overfitting:
  • The risk of overfitting is particularly high in trading algorithms. A strategy that is too finely tuned to past data may not perform well in the future.
6. Trading Considerations:
  • Risk Management: Ensure that your parameters and strategies are in line with acceptable risk levels.
  • Transaction Costs: Always account for transaction costs in your strategy.
7. Consider Multivariate Aspects:
  • Correlation: Ensure to check how the different variables in the multivariate time series are correlated with each other.
  • Cointegration: If using for pairs trading or similar strategies, testing for cointegration between the pairs might be useful.
8. Backtesting:
  • It’s vital to backtest your strategy with the chosen parameters on out-of-sample data to ensure its robustness.
9. Sensitivity Analysis:
  • Conduct sensitivity analysis for your parameters to ensure that your strategy is robust and not overly sensitive to the parameter choices.
10. Technology and Tools:
Since you’re using Python, utilize libraries like pandas for data manipulation, matplotlib and seaborn for data visualization, and statsmodels for statistical models and tests.
Python Implementation:
For the MACD calculation and visualization:
{
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def compute_macd(data, short_window, long_window, signal_window):
short_ema = data['Close'].ewm(span=short_window, adjust=False).mean()
long_ema = data['Close'].ewm(span=long_window, adjust=False).mean()
data['MACD'] = short_ema - long_ema
data['Signal_Line'] = data['MACD'].ewm(span=signal_window, adjust=False).mean()
return data
# Example
# data = pd.read_csv("your_data.csv")
# data = compute_macd(data, 12, 26, 9)
# plt.plot(data['MACD'], label='MACD')
# plt.plot(data['Signal_Line'], label='Signal Line')
# plt.legend(loc='upper left')

Note. The sequence of polynomials should be the same for all the continuity points; yet the convergence does not have to be uniform of the continuity set.
Comment. Looks and sounds like "déjà vu", a consequence of some known result. So far, I've got this: The continuity set is G_δ (i.e., a countable intersection of open sets) hence, by a theorem of Mazurkiewicz, it can be endowed as a complete metric space. Also, by the Heine-Borel theorem, a metric space is complete and totally bounded if and only if it is compact. So one may wonder if the above result is just a consequence of the following extension(s) of Weierstrass’ approximation theorem: to compact metric spaces (due to Stone) or to totally bounded metric spaces (due to Bishop). In other words, this issue amounts to the question: is a G_δ set totally bounded? And the answer is in the negative because, in general, not every bounded metric space is totally bounded.
Relevant answer
Answer
Along your lines, Gabriel: If the continuity set A is closed, by Tietze’s theorem we can construct a continuous function g : [a, b] → R such that g(x) = f(x) for x ∈ A. And the sequence of polynomials given by Weierstrass' theorem for g will do the job for f and all continuity points of f.
