https://recursioncorecursion.is does not have the same marketing effect that https://recursion.is does :P

Additionally, I admit that I was not aware of corecursion prior to this conversation. I have been referring to the two as the same concept this entire time. I do not have access to all that is knowable. I did not go to the same universities/* you did that taught this concept. To further illustrate this, "corecursion" has About 18,100 results on Google. "Recursion" has About 20,900,000 results. All YouTube videos on the subject have sub-1k views; since your comment, I have watched many of these videos.

I am prepared to say that corecursion is an integral part to the conjecture; just as important as recursion.

Lastly, it is my understanding that they are, in a way, each other. Ask yourself how you define both and then ask yourself what is the major difference between the two. Are you certain that your definition of both is absolute? Could it be that one could stem from the other in some case? I'll give you a hint, I am being entirely rhetorical. They do stem from one another. Where this stemming-process has *no origin*[3] in an *infinite* system - neither idea can be seen as the "top-level" idea. They are both crucial.

This conclusion may bother you, and I will release a more rigorous argument soon. Corecursion will be a/the topic of one/all of my future videos.

PS: This conversation allowed me to think I understand how type theory integrates with mathematics, to my own personal plague of not internally using concepts I don't think I fully understand

The insight you have given me today amazes me.

My original paper was not titled Recursion "Convergence" Conjecture, it was titled "Quantum Recursion Postulate". I later realized I was incorrectly conflating popular use of the word "quantum" with "superposition". So, I re-titled my paper.

This felt like a good decision. Convergence is one of the central ideas to the paper-I want others to disprove the paper to converge on a solution. The focus of my paper was not quantum mechanics, nor was the paper describing only a small system. A understandable mistake for someone who has no formal physics background, and has only conversed with those who do.

Of course, this re-titling had the now obvious effect that I lost the diverging aspect of the paper. To further illustrate how I managed to damage the original meaning behind the paper, I will show you perhaps the only proof I have that my conjecture also includes divergence: "The more information considered, the more likely the solution"[1] "Once all is explained, there will always be more perspectives you can attempt to explain that which is already explained from. There will always be new layers to explain previous layers with. Seeking these new layers is what is important, as you can use them to help others understand what you already do. These others, which may want explanations, will stem from these new layers and only understand these new layers."[2]

Looks like I need to change one of my scripts (which I already recorded the audio for >.>) and re-title my paper to the "Recursion Conjecture". Thank you!

[2] https://notes.recursion.is/Philosophy/It+is+what+it+is

Yes. I fully agree with all of these points.

Why do you point these specific ideas out? I do not, yet, understand the purpose behind your words

https://recursion.is has a running list of quotes, one of those quotes is "True and False" - this is the central idea behind dialetheism and is an integral part to the Recursion Convergence Conjecture. I have already recorded audio for a video on the topic soon to be released on https://recursion.is/youtube

> All models are wrong. Some are useful.

While this may hold true in almost every case. Just as truth is not absolute, neither is "wrongness".

Furthermore, there exists some model which is neither right nor wrong[1]

[1] https://publications.recursion.is "When all contradictions are resolved what will be left is - an unprovable truth"

"In 1915, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to the philosopher and physicist Moritz Schlick, who had recently composed an article on the theory of relativity. Einstein praised it: ‘From the philosophical perspective, nothing nearly as clear seems to have been written on the topic.’ Then he went on to express his intellectual debt to ‘David Hume, whose Treatise of Human Nature I had studied avidly and with admiration shortly before discovering the theory of relativity. It is very possible that without these philosophical studies I would not have arrived at the solution.’"

There are solutions to problems hidden in these chats that will never be found. Personally, I've been using Discord as a powerful search engine. Luckily, the search functionality works well enough to where I can often find what I'm looking for. But this might only be a short term solution to an issue that needs an archive.

https://youtu.be/u1MUrVBQTyE is my submission to this exposition. I had an absolute blast making this.

Thank you to all the volunteers for setting this up, mathematics and education is a better place today than it was yesterday because of you.

Much of this competition was coordinated by Dr. James Schloss, thank you. Check out his YouTube channel, https://youtu.be/EbanExb75mc

The commenter is likely referring to complexity from simplicity, best shown in Stephen Wolfram's Rule 30. I'll be talking about this topic, and its implications, at length in an upcoming video on https://recursion.is/youtube.

This reddit user seemed to have some valid reasons: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/oui6zj/-/h734kyq

Yes. YouTube tends to encourage sensationalized content, as it often leads to increased watch time. So education channels usually aren't as lucrative. This being said, there are quite a few hidden gems: https://youtube.com/c/Reducible https://youtube.com/c/VCubingX https://youtube.com/channel/UCG2IoSJBUhrGL8fb5stMCWw https://youtube.com/channel/UCEwhtpXrg5MmwlH04ANpL8A https://youtube.com/c/CodeParade https://youtube.com/c/YannicKilcher https://youtube.com/c/SebastianLague

and of course my channel!: https://youtube.com/channel/UCuHB_2AOt8vjuvZZp6tSoxg

I disagree, the use of MongoDB reflects poorly on the future of the project. In my opinion, a custom protocol does not. They intend for the app to be an alternative to a giant like Discord, so the protocol being custom leaves them with the freedom to introduce features Matrix didn't consider.

In opposition of NIH syndrome, using others work often locks you into the framework of their thinking, which can often be flawed. So to make improvements within the framework, you must think outside of it. Matrix might not be flawed, but it is purpose built for a specific task, a task that likely won't capture all possible use cases of this project. Perhaps it would be the right move to use in the beginning, but once the project matures it may become a limitation.

Can you explain the notation [0,1)^2 unit square, does the 2 represent the spatial dimensionality? So,[0,1)^3 is the unit cube? Why is 0 inclusive, but the 1 is exclusive?

"The first is that this mapping is area-preserving, not distance-preserving." Which area is being preserved?

Is there a volume preserving choice function?

What are points t0 and t3, are those the location of the singularity points? What is the definition of those "singularity points"? Is it that seeming void in the center of the fibonacci spiral? And that void doesn't exist within the unit square case?

I especially enjoyed footnote #1.

https://youtu.be/c-6DV4ZyCdo here is a video you might enjoy

I recently made a video on the zeroth dimension (what you call a point) and how it relates to higher dimensions. https://youtu.be/u1MUrVBQTyE

I'll be using spatial dimensions as a conceptual framework to tackle this exact issue in future videos.

This could work, but all things take time to diffuse through other things, so we might not know the full effect of what we do until quite a long time after it's done.

Consider the platform demographic before responding this way. It can be an advantage and a disadvantage.

Can you explain your workflow for landing new jobs? Where do you look first? Do you mass apply or seek out specific jobs?

I feel that TikTok needs a large warning label regarding privacy and potential psychological damage. I have nothing concrete to share, but an app that serves you content you tend to watch more of, in a fast paced way, that ultimately leads you to a bubble of users that increase your engagement with the app seems really wrong at first glance.

All of these companies remind me of this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/jm0lhu/d_i...

Few questions, By "actual data" I'm assuming you mean the image itself? What does a request for the actual data look like, because it is my understanding the actual data wouldn't be stored on the blockchain? The LOG message is built into the Ethereum blockchain?

I am a full-stack developer with over 3 years of experience and a master’s degree in Computer Science. I’m a strong generalist; I’ve done everything from server management to implementing machine learning models. I’ve designed and built systems for NASA JPL, KBR, Boeing, Mitsubishi, numerous universities, and many more accredited businesses. I enjoy working with functional languages (LISP, Haskell, etc.) and in fast-paced development environments. I am seeking a full-time position where team members design elegant solutions to difficult problems.

I can further clarify that process by saying "Science is the evolution of answering questions."

The part about religion reminds me of an excerpt from the "circular reasoning" wikipedia article.

"-"using the scientific method to judge the scientific method is circular reasoning". Scientists attempt to discover the laws of nature and to predict what will happen in the future, based on those laws. However, per David Hume's problem of induction, science cannot be proven inductively by empirical evidence, and thus science cannot be proven scientifically." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_reasoning

I code at work and occasionally on quick personal tasks. I consider myself as someone who isn't coding enough.

I feel this way because over a year ago I began a project in the hopes of answering a single question. Every day I am looking for information that might help me answer that question.

Some people would argue that I should stop trying to answer the question and instead try to test things in code. That the process of coding will help me solve the problem. For this problem, I disagree. There is so much I don't know that sitting down and testing things feels like a waste of time. I refuse to program until I have the structure of the program cemented into my brain. Not every single little detail, just the big picture.

When I program, I am chasing an idea. And if I don't fully understand that idea, then programming it becomes so much more difficult.

I was reading up on cover letters yesterday and saw someone on reddit use the following argument: You wouldn't send an email to someone with just your resumé and contact details. Usually, you would write something small to introduce yourself. This is what a cover letter is for. Typically, cover letters shouldn't be much longer than half a page and should be included with applications to provide context about who you are.
