  None so far, because I have no google account to login with. Which seems to be required? Maybe change that setting somewhere, to public, or so?
  • rikeanimer 10mo ago
    think i just fixed. made public like you suggested. face palm.

  I think it's a little preposterous to conjecture that the inverse of the fine structure constant is "governed" by the expression N^2+C^2 + ((1+sqrt(5))/2)^(N-C) with N=11 and C=4. You can probably find hundreds more approximations by other arbitrary formula of similar complexity, all lacking in explanatory power of why the formula should look like that.

    is the number accurate or not? and minimal aperiodic tilings of the infinite plane are not uninteresting, they are related to turing completeness. whatever. how accurate is it? you tell me.
    • tromp 10mo ago
      It's far from accurate, since ((1+sqrt(5))/2)^-7 ~ 0.03444

        ugh
  • rikeanimer 10mo ago
    find one. I dare you.

  > thoughts? I have a few: What's the "Hypothetical Institute of Mathematical Physics"? What does 'a reflection of the total phase space or ”complexity weight” of the minimal aperiodic vacuum.' mean? phi^-7 !~= 0.035998811... it's ~= 0.0344418537... Section 3.2 is just gobbledegook. You probably need to get a better bot but it was a fun read. Thanks.

    sigh. your probably into the Copenhagen interpretation. buhbye.
