[FRIAM] Is Lightning Langevin?

Lightning traces in it's drunken way a geodesic along an energy landscape. The medium by which high potential difference couple is unimaginably arbitrary. No different than sampling from the most probable configurations at the surface of a vintage picture tube. .-- .- -. - / .- -.-. - .. --- -. .

Re: [FRIAM] Newborn Heart Rate

Dave, btw: I was too quick with the “but” and passed over the “yes, “ part. Your characterization of decompiling native competences that operate on many variables, to bring them under a kind of willed control, was a really helpful way to express the aims of some of these contemplative projects.

Great point! This is a good restatement of my objection to this: Beware explanations from AI in health care https://www.science.org/doi/pdf/10.1126/science.abg1834 And why I like the argument from (global) mimic modeling ... perhaps obviously, since I'm stuck in the simulation attractor. We need

Eric, David, n all, Just to say: this is one of those posts that makes me wish we had a Friam harvester, a 30’s style editor who would gather up the threads of what you-all are writing here , hack out two thirds of it, and deliver a book. If I were truly my father’s child, I would have pla

I’m with David on this one. Distinguishing between “real” and random effects is what learning IS. Of course, such judgements are never more than probably true. N Nick Thompson thompnicks...@gmail.com https

Let’s say one deconstructed a neural net with substitutions from a library of functions (fit on the basis of input/output mappings), and that after a series of substitutions and application of rewrite rules, there was no neural net left. Further suppose the resulting recomposition was as readab

I *think* I disagree. But I'm not sure. The distinction between: • in-the-moment, go-with-the-flow, compiled/parallel/chunked versus • articulated, delineated, de-compiled, serialized, persnickety, academic, rational processing isn't really a crushing of Zaphod Beeblebrox in light of the Total

Re: [FRIAM] Copernican thresholds; was: Newborn Heart Rate

It’s an interesting assertion, Dave, and I understand that you are both serious and informed in making it. I don’t know, and there is a thing I struggle with in responding to some of this literature that straddles what I might call (making up a term on the spot) the “Copernican threshold”. (Ha
