Aha! So, finally, a resolution to the question I posed about PWs on another thread. The medium through which they travel are brick roads. And they cul...

Perhaps the same will be said of mathematics. There's a crew working indirectly on that project on this very forum. :smile:

I still like the idea of a metaphysical medium through which probability waves travel. But, assuming the PW is itself a metaphysical entity, then it i...

2+1=1 mod(2) Thus your entire argument falls apart. Sorry :cry:

"By analogy with waves such as those of sound, a wave function, designated by the Greek letter psi, ?, may be thought of as an expression for the ampl...

Of course it does, but not in a physical sense. From Physics.Org: "At the heart of quantum mechanics lies the wave function, a probability function us...

What about thinking of tangent vectors to a circle in the complex plane rather than a sphere? But I'm not following closely. :sad:

I'm no philosopher, but the article looks good to me. What in particular do you find in error? Be specific, please. :chin:

I still haven't come to a conclusion regarding metaphysics in the realms of science and mathematics. At times I feel that only scientists who are invo...

What is the medium through which probability waves in QM travel? How about it, physicist out there? Clarify the idea that MU advances? Waves in fields...

One senior level college course, taken before the time of the dinosaurs. A PhD in math, during the time of the dinosaurs. Out to pasture, now. :cool:

I would like to hear this from a physicist. :roll:

I really appreciate your explanation. Thank you. I looked briefly at your first link to get an idea of the univalent approach. I was completely unawar...

I said, in time Wikipedia will be cited, because I think there will be significant changes to academic vetting. Not now. I never had any problems publ...

I apologize for interrupting a productive flow of thought. But I was curious what you guys were talking about. Seems pretty esoteric. :chin:

"Would any expert academic in your field cite a Wikipedia page in a peer review article?" Most of my publishing was done years ago, before Wikipedia, ...

In ancient Greece a bolt of lightning was reasoned to be due to Zeus. Reason evolves.

I consider wikipedia a very good source for introductory material on many math topics. If a topic is fairly popular, it is likely to be accurate. For ...

Dynamical systems! Actually, I was more general, showing certain sequences of linear fractional transformations can have their regions of convergence ...

Makes me regret not having those mysterious credentials you may or may not have that would allow you and I to debate issues that may or may not resona...

And doing so, make it difficult to ascertain if they exist. But, assuming they do exist, one cannot determine whether their virtual art is really art:...

Please display yours. If they exist I'm not seeing much evidence. :gasp: But then, I have almost none, so what do I know? (I can guess your reply) :sa...

Yes, I'm familiar with the notion, although I have no experience in an algebraic venue. For instance, many years ago I showed that convergence of comp...

Actually, no. Reason is a gift from a god since we are endowed but not capable of conceiving. Sounds a tad like archaic Greek logic. When, according t...

Beyond my meager knowledge of topology. I'm more a metric space guy. I hope others reading this material can follow it. Is there value in showing the ...

Secret knowledge. I look forward to the revelation, although I may be ill-equipped to critique it. :chin:

Sure. It's a product of the artist's conscious and subconscious mind which resonates with both my conscious and possibly subconscious mind.

Wiki: "Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics focusing on the study of chaos—states of dynamical systems whose apparently-random states of disorder a...

Because it moves me in a way difficult to describe. I see it and I think,"This is art." But I see some of the imagery I create with my math and comput...

I've lost track of this lengthy discussion and how it relates to the topic of the thread. Can one of you describe in layman's terms what you are attem...

I don't think the creator's intention was to create art. The bust was probably created primarily to please the monarchy with a flattering image. This ...

This was part of the conversation about intention being necessary when creating art. So, from this perspective, how are we to know if the famous bust ...

Bartricks has knowledge about the existence of God that he will not divulge since we are untrained in the intricacies of metaphysical analysis, and th...

If you look at comments on a previous page I indeed posed this question to a member who seems to have some expertise in art. She said that if I produc...

There are patterns that are not beautiful. For instance, an aerial view of a battlefield having a symmetric array of exploded mines. Or a pattern of m...

One who produces art. I'm still fascinated by the concept of accidental art vs art. If I sketch an image that is pleasing to the eye, but I had no int...

I know I am lacking the credentials, but please display this "proof." Others here may very well be metaphysicians and may be eager to process this inf...

Support this far-reaching pronouncement with a logical argument. Apply your favorite tool of reason, please.

It might be best to avoid referring to mathematics in this regard. Mathematical chaos theory is a fairly well-defined, logical and coherent area of in...

You haven't proven that there are actual experts on the existence of god. You simply assert that if they do exist they are metaphysicists. I would con...

So, if I had thought,"I'm going to do art" the first time and did exactly the same procedure, that first image would have been art? This is a tad more...

It doesn't follow logically that anyone is such an expert.

OK, now I see a real "use" for category theory. Nice presentation. You don't use symbols to express music? Well, one can play an instrument by ear I s...

Unless they are in areas like medical science, where experimental results frequently are in conflict, particularly over time. Then what do you do?

I was curious about post WWII art, so I searched. Here's an example of what came up (www.widewalls.ch): "Art always responds in some way, and so the v...

Sounds reasonable. I think that pretty much sums it up. :cool:

Thanks. But you should look. And you are correct that I had no intention of creating art; what began to appear intrigued me, however. And being intrig...
