Well I'm a Trans girl who DOES know how to code. To an extent it already exists. But nowhere near to the extent this suggests.

Alastair Campbell claims senior BBC figures are 'in the JK Rowling camp' Alastair Campbell has claimed that several senior officials at the BBC are 'in the JK Rowling camp' when it comes to trans rights issues.

Has to be grim if even he's admitting it.

The most important thing universities should do in a world with AI is to greatly increase the number of professors, so that classes can be smaller and more class time can be spent directly interacting with students as people.

However, as reaction chains seek stability, entropy pushes systems toward states that move energy more efficiently. The ones that keep energy flowing under unstable fluctuating environmental conditions last longer, and from that persistence, complexity emerges.

No problem. The issue is that you’re taking the result and reading fine-tuning back into it. That’s retrospective bias.

Thermodynamic selection doesn’t aim for complexity, it just filters configurations based on energy flow. Life is simply what happens to work under those particular conditions.

Quite the opposite.

After a long time in the making, my paper on nonequilibrium thermodynamics of Darwinian evolution has been published in Philosophical Transactions B. Updated version: arxiv.org/abs/2112.02809

After months of work on my 'Continuity Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics', I’ve decided to archive it for now. It’s far from perfect, but I’m proud. My genuine attempt to say something new about the Measurement Problem and the nature of reality.

Fair point. Redundancy only explains objectivity “in the moment” - but still allows all alternatives to coexist. I’m saying: only the outcome whose redundant records persist stably across time gets carried forward. That temporal persistence is what stitches outcomes into a single history.

I feel very much like I'm onto something here... so thank you again for engaging. Please let me know your thoughts and if you think i have got something wrong or i have misunderstood something.

Take care ☺️

Effectively what I mean is that QD/BPH gives us spatial redundancy across fragments; I’m adding temporal redundancy across successive fragments.

Those fragments.. a photon scatters here, another one a moment later, a molecule vibrates, etc. results in a temporal chain of overlapping records.

…the concept builds on BPH, who showed that different parts of the environment act as recorders of information (redundancy). What I’m adding is that these never form at exactly the same instant. They overlap. So each “agreement” hands off to the next resulting in a continuous chain of persistence.

Maybe the real key isn’t just that redundancy exists, but whether those redundant records persist through time. We’ve always looked at the observer or at decoherence, but perhaps we've been looking in the wrong place all this time...

Well thanks for asking. It's been tough finding someone willing to engage with the paper. I'll be honest, a lot of the math formalisms are lifted verbatim from Zurich et al but that's because i see Quantum Darwinism as the best description of what is going on but i wanted to take it a step further

Well, I'm rewriting it to improve clarity (about 1/3 done) - so this is an early scoping draft.

The idea builds off Quantum Darwinism: instead of collapse/ branching, stability emerges when redundant records in the environment cross a threshold, anchoring outcomes into a single continuous worldline

Would love to be able to apply. Right up my street. Sadly don't have yhe quals but what a wonderful opportunity for someone though. Good luck whoever tries!

@seanmcarroll, I’ve posted a draft paper called Quantum Continuity: A single outcome becomes real once info is redundantly recorded, providing a link from one moment to the next yet avoids collapse or branching.

Seeking any comments on its viability or legitimacy.

Preprint: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Why does quantum mechanics give us one outcome instead of many?

My new preprint introduces the Continuity Interpretation: outcomes become real when info is redundantly recorded, stitching a single world forward.

Anything that tries to model processes that involve open system entropy within experimental boundaries, is only going to be an approximate guess, because entropy behaves differently in a closed system. This would include fluid dynamics, weather patterns, geophysics, quantum physics etc

@seanmcarroll

I’ve proposed a thermodynamic ontology that defines energy not as a substance or a measure but a negation of absolute nothing (max entropy + symmetry).

I would like to submit to Foundations, but before I do I would truly value your thoughts

A Thermodynamic definition of energy as 'deviation' from absolute nothing, defined as the 'nullspace'

Doublethink: moments after pressing Ofcom’s chief on misinformation, Laura Kuenssberg mislabels anti-IDF chants at Glastonbury as “anti-Israel.” This itself is misinformation. The Orwellian irony is clear. The BBC must do better.

Breaking News everyone. Gender critical academic writes report supporting gender critical academics. Findings show most people don't like or tolerate gender critical views being shoved in their face.

OMG! I LOVE @lauraewebster.bsky.social 💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I wish more journo’s & media commentators would scrutinise the (blatantly inaccurate and gaslighting) language of the anti-trans ‘gender critical’ obsessives.

The more they’re left unchecked, the more MAGA type lies are given free rein to flourish.
