My understanding was that Christopher Alexander called the quality without a name "wholeness" later in their life. Does it mean a different thing than the "resonance" in this article?

I see a lot of people getting confused, and the contention here is not that ChatGPT helped prepare for martial law in any way, but the fact that someone knew about it happening before it happened. Not really related to ChatGPT IMO.

Any parellogram would work since given four digit number n1n2n3n4, it is divisible by 11 iff n1+n3=n2+n4, and each ni is linear combination of the coords of keypads xi, yi, and thus (n1+n3)/2 = (n2+n4)/2

So in the case of N divisible by 3, there are impossible end states. But can you still go ahead and declare that you will sort your library within the possible end states? If so how would one prove that one did not step outside of possible

The solution for IMO 2022 is barely a 1/7 solution. It just says ‘ might not satisfy the inequality for all y’ without a proof. That was the point of the question.
