[FRIAM] To repeat is rational, but to wander is transcendent

Tue Mar 29 16:29:59 EDT 2022

Anything where one could write down a function to give a goodness for different courses of action can be given names for its phases and phase transitions as well.   Societies transitioning toward war (gas?) from peace (liquid?), a person’s brain in a depressed or manic state, etc.   Not easy to write down the function nor make precise the courses of action, never mind sample from such a function.    I would like to sample from the space of Will Smith’s professional and domestic life and understand the specific heat to cause him to slap Chris Rock.    Cocaine use may be a free variable in there somewhere.

That is a bizarre distinction, that can only be maintained within some sort of odd, contextless discussion. If you tell me the number of atoms of a particular substance that you have smushed within a given space, we can, with reasonable accuracy, tell you the density, and hence the "state of matter". When we change the quantity of matter within that space, we can also calculate the expected change in temperature.

For example, when there are 25 moles of propane in the tank under my grill, the state of matter is liquid.

From the web:

Intensive properties do not depend on the quantity of matter. Examples include density, state of matter, and temperature. Extensive properties do depend on sample size. Examples include volume, mass, and size.Dec 4, 2019

How is any of those variables emergent.

Hi Jon, I am sitting outside at a Ohori‘s. Chris tells me that there’s some sort of giant fork cook up that’s going to happen around six or maybe seven and then we all should come. Not the kind of thing I could talk Kenny into I don’t think but it might be fun to bring the kid to. They all smell is much more bearable when there’s an actual smell of food mixed up in the afternoon is very mild and pleasant. I wanted to take a few moments to try and get my mind around the intensive extensive distinction I now have a way to remember which is which which is the intensive properties are independent of the size of the system. So at least I have that little bit of grip.  Song the number of altruists in a group is an intensive sorry sorry extensive property of the group it changes with the size of the system according to Siri, the functional organization of the group the degree of functional organization if you will varies nonlinear early with the number of altruist  but it does vary with the number vouchers and so would be also an extensive property? No according to Winsett poop so far as I’m concerned is the only one who makes any sense on the subject an emergent property contrast with an aggregate property so the number of altruists in the group is an aggregate property because it is insensitive to the arrangement of the parts when you get a property which is sensitive to the arrangement of the parts then you get an emergent property. So I’m trying to think of those two distinctions are orthogonal related to One another. I will send this message along now that’s where I am at the moment. I will send a message along now so you get the info about the pork. Since I have no computer I will probably keep dictating these messages to you which you are entirely entitled to ignore but give me a medium in which to Think. Nick

Been thinking about fractals and analytic continuations for recursive algorithms, lately. I would love to read some thoughts.
