Interesting. Democracy (and other forms of governance) does not work because you have to walk over everyone else to get to the top, therefore you can't have empathy. Leaders of all parts of the system end up being psychopaths or sociopaths. Its not the political system that fails, but humanity.

My guess is game theory will show that libertarianism works best at low population sizes, socialism at high population sizes, and capitalism never based on the tragedy of the commons for renewable resources and assuming any form of optimization criteria that penalizes poverty. Have you done this?
Experiment 1: Two sources are directed at different panels
Experiment 2: Directed at the same panel
Expected result: Experiment 2 should create more photons than Experiment 2.
Complication: concentration may only occur at source

The interesting thing is that with entanglement, the probabilities do not add up. So something weird had to have happened for it to make sense. What was observed at B had to change once you know what was observed at A.

Superdeterminism is just as irrational as multiple universes. Might want to consider the critical mass theory, which is based somewhat on the pilot wave theory. Does not address entanglement directly, but might with some creative thinking.

Double general logistic selectivity replicates the double normal. It is differentiable without any joiners (may not go to 1, but not important if estimating a F scaler). Should be the default (with age and time deviates where appropriate)

My AI stopped work early last Friday so I had to wait until this week to get my results.
In the middle of a CAPAM workshop run with no funding and get an e-mail that the Tuna Conference is canceled and its future is uncertain. All while the rich and powerful business and political leaders get everything they want. How about a little bit of love for us?

I think someone should investigate the critical mass theory it has realism, embraces the pilot wave and cellular automaton concepts, is related to the dark photon hypothesis. It can't be any worse than Darwinism or the other explanations.
Five of the eight most cited papers published in the journal Fisheries Research since January 2022 are from #CAPAM special issues.

Topics: Spatial structure, Tagging data, Random effects, Close kin mark-recapture, Length based dynamics, General concepts
We will release more information as it comes available.
and use the results to make important management decisions, not to speculate about aliens
Contemporary applied quantitative/statistical biologists generally come up with one or more hypothesis, create some equations to represent the hypotheses, fit the models to all the available data types, estimate the parameters, and see which hypothesis has the most support. Quite different.
There is a long history in biology of starting with Math (e.g., theoretical biology and ecology) and making simplifying assumptions (e.g., linearity) and coming up with something nice and simple that generally represents the data, but misleads that particular field of science for years.

Critical mass interpretation of quantum mechanics.
A “pilot wave” is created by the source as sub-particles
Particles and sub-particles interact
Particles can be observed and sub-particles currently cannot
There must be a critical mass of sub-particles to form a particle

What do you think about using a low probability of exceeding a limit reference point as a exceptional circumstance in a harvest strategy rather than a harvest control rule control point? The Management Strategy Evaluation #MSE establishment doesn't appear to like it

New Paper by Hui-Hua Lee shows how to use statistical tests to determine if a recruitment index significantly improves an assessment model and consequent management action. #Fisheries #Statistics #StockAssessment #Model

Looks like it. Not sure if the policy is still no interaction with international scientists or attending international meetings, or just so much uncertainty people can't committee. Not a good way to celebrate the 75th anniversary.
Probably those that are open access. An AI that uses all Journal articles (i.e. those under subscription) and no social media would be awesome. That's possibly why DeepSeek is soooo good 😜I considered making an AI based on CAPAM papers, but it appears only full training is worthwhile.
