The Math Hiding in Plain Sight

Ғылым және технология

Group theorist Sarah Hart explores connections between math, nature and the arts including architecture, music, design and literature. Wherever she looks, Hart discovers hidden patterns and symmetries which appeal to our innate appreciation of order and beauty in the universe. Hart is the professor of geometry at Gresham College in London, where she delivers several public lectures per year.

    As much as I love Quantas videos, this one is too much on the surface for me. It transports excitation for mathematics, yes, but that’s about it. As sympatic as the protagonist is and as (as usual) high the quality of the video is, it did not satisfy me. I am curious for the next videos.

    Is mathematics invention or discovery? Though the professional mathematician may notice acts of discovery in their work, I think ultimately it has to be categorized as invention. We have scientific standards for discovery, and mathematics on its own doesn't meet them. Mathematics even contains tools which assume undiscoverability when applied to nature, such as probability theory and statistics. In our interactions with the universe, I'd even argue it's the simplifications afforded by assuming undiscoverability which give rise to mathematical thinking in the first place! In this view, the primary function of logic is probabilistic, rather than deterministic. I think the foundations of set theory may be misleading people into applying mathematics to scientific problems in an incorrect manner. In the sciences you can afford yourself enough paradoxical thinking to assume a solution to Russell's paradox, and bifurcate the universe (or multiverse) into hypothetical states, such that a probabilistic, top down analysis can be developed. It doesn't always work that way, but the sciences do allow for this kind of trial and error development, containing contradictions and paradoxes and loose ends. Science must even allow for the use of entirely alien mathematics which makes for better predictions. Something that's worth thinking about in our approach to AGI. (I think invention is the preferable result. It's more creative! The discovery counter position is a very convenient shield against argument, but limits interpretation.) I think it's better when thinking scientifically to consider mathematics a language, which contains instructions to be imitated, and which can be interpreted and reinterpreted within different analytical frameworks. It's instrumentally critical in the sciences to be able to replicate instructions with very high precision, just as it's critical to replicate experiments with precision. Coherence is a secondary concern, in practice.

    observer bias. inverse square law. mathematics is how we interpret reality. it's not reality that's made of mathematics. we have no proof our experience of the universe is the only type of experience of the universe and we could very well be biased about symmetry because we experience some dimensions as symmetric. We are unable to observe some dimensions, and we are forced to observe some. But who's to say it works the same for everything? Fungi? Plants? Light? Entropy? The problem with Einstein's theory of general relativity is that it doesn't realize relativity is entity based not frame of reference based (observer bias). Projection of reality, the law of attraction, quantum entanglement & wave function collapse, Buddhist cosmology and Taoist philosophy had plenty of it figured out without math... BTW cognition also works with neural supersymmetries on multiple axis of awareness. Which is why humans revere time like they do. But it's another bias, for another discussion....

    This is an unanswered question. If mathematics is real or just exists as an abstract concept in our brain. A lot of things have been figured out without mathematics but then out brain too sub-consciously 'calculates' our actions and hence can be said to depend on mathematics (or a vague form of mathematics)

  • @metasamsara

    @@emil8782 YES math is a human construct of a tool used to make sense of reality. It IS NOT reality. There is always the possibility of observer bias. Interacting, even to observe, with a quantum state of entanglement causes its wave function to collapse into a state. This is the part Shrodinger couldn't finish proving because he trusted Einstein's theory of general relativity which turned out to be blinded by observer bias of a supposed "general frame of reference" which isn't how relativity truly works. This is also, as a side note, why NASA predicted wrong the impact of their rocket on the asteroid they hit recently, and it's also why the maximum speed of light is another bias that fails to account for extra dimensions and the fact time isn't real but a local phenomenon caused by entropic shift/pull (like gravity, and both could be exo-dimensional funnels), and planets orbit casting shadows has nothing to do with actual time as in chemical transformation of reality. Past and future are an illusion of the mind, of the self stuck for the ride. Light on the contrary has been known to demonstrate behaviors of going back through time while accounting for relativity such as with multiple light sources and destinations observed in the double slit experiment.

    17 as one number. Is also a pair. As a pair it is expressing the reality of a set, as set forth in sacred scripture. The BE-ginning story was 6 and 1, 7 in total. There is unbelievable information re-vealed through the 6 Then there is the "rest" Only with the rest was material perfection complete. Yet complete beyond material definition., As stated in scripture, this completeness is two more. The single number signifying completeness be-ing 9 The pair 1 and 9 as expressed in 19 a point, through the pairing of number revealing the first trinity of one, expressing complete unity. An interaction of two and three that we have observed in our material investigations. Yet the foundation for understanding is from the first reflected pair1-1 the first pair expressing variation being 1-11 1-2 In this day and with the di-mensional reality realized through di-scovery of human material investigations a new be-ginning in human advancement. A new storyboard, void "indefinably limitless" of which we can, and as aided by the seen connectedness of all we currently understand start again from the first re-cognized constants 1 2 1/2 to discover the "rest" all that our material perceptions missed.
