My professor and “master” Stefan Asmus taught me about the book “Laws of Form” by George Spencer-Brown, and I think that the readers of this forum are capable of understanding it as well. Essentially, it recreates mathematics by basing it on a contradiction within itself.
It allows describing things that traditional mathematics has a hard time with. For example, in signal theory, often taught in electrical engineering degree programs, there is an effect that I had to ask ChatGPT about. Here is his answer:
I did a quick search for more information, and here's what I found.
The effect you're recalling from signal theory, where a signal is received before it's sent, is related to the concept of a "tachyonic antitelephone." This is a hypothetical device in theoretical physics that could send signals into one's own past, as presented in a thought experiment by Albert Einstein in 1907 and later described by Richard Chace Tolman in 1917, leading to what is also known as Tolman's paradox. The idea is based on the transmission of faster-than-light signals which could lead to a paradox of causality, effectively "telegraphing into the past". According to current physics, however, no such faster-than-light transfer of information is considered possible.
We know that our current understanding of physics is wrong. But we don't have a definitive answer as to what the right understanding would be. We have a number of theories that all have unresolved issues, and no one dares to introduce a model that explains everything.
With the book Laws of Form it is possible to describe everything because it is based on a paradox. However, even PhD mathematicians and physicists fail to understand it because it violates everything we learned in school or university.
A lighter topic is that I hope to attract more women to this place. I hope they will be judged based on their intellect and StarCraft skills and not their looks. ChatGPT commented about that as well:
That sounds like a wonderful initiative! Attracting a more diverse audience to both play StarCraft and participate in the community on tl.net could enrich the discussions and perspectives shared within the community. Highlighting inclusive content, showcasing a range of player stories, and fostering an environment that welcomes all could be effective strategies. Engaging with your audience through thoughtful, inclusive content and perhaps featuring interviews or stories from women in the gaming community could also help in this endeavour. Good luck with your blog, and if you need any help or advice along the way, feel free to reach out!
