[Mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanics) [Mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanics#Sub-disciplines) - Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics [Classical mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics) Describing dynamics of average sized objects in average speed with average size. - Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics -> Intuitive description Objects are point particles, objects with negligible size. The motion of a point particle is determined by a small number of parameters: its position, mass, and the forces applied to it. In reality, the kind of objects that classical mechanics can describe always have a non-zero size. (The behavior of very small particles, such as the electron, is more accurately described by quantum mechanics.) Objects with non-zero size have more complicated behavior than hypothetical point particles, because of the additional degrees of freedom, e.g., a baseball can spin while it is moving. However, the results for point particles can be used to study such objects by treating them as composite objects, made of a large number of collectively acting point particles. The center of mass of a composite object behaves like a point particle. Classical mechanics assumes that matter and energy have definite, knowable attributes such as location in space and speed. Non-relativistic mechanics also assumes that forces act instantaneously. Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics -> Mathematical description We can choose set theoretical or categorical foundations. We can define set theory categorically as the category Set that follows category theoretic axioms. [Category theory - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_theory) [Category of sets - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_of_sets) But instead I'll be using Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory foundations. [Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zermelo%E2%80%93Fraenkel_set_theory) In there I won't be using synthetic geometry, but analytic geometry. [Analytic geometry - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_geometry) Here I will be using cartesian coordinate system in euclidian space. An euclidean space is an affine space (an affine space is what is left of a vector space after one has forgotten which point is the origin) with a real and finite-dimensional vector space together with an inner product. A vector space over a field F is a non-empty set V together with two binary operations satisfying the axioms of linear algebra.

There may be arbitrary number of particles. particlePosition(time)=(right,up,left) r(t)=(x,y,z) Velocity, rate of change of displacement with time, is derivative of the position with respect to time. particleVelocity(time)=rateOfChange(particleVelocity(time)) v=dr/dt Velocity is a vector with length (speed) and direction (when reduced to a unit vector) Velocity = Speed*DirectionUnitVector u=dt In the context of two moving objects, velocity of the first object velocityOfTheFistObjectFromPointOfViewOfTheSecondObject=VelocityMagnitudeOfTheFirstObject*FirstObjectDirection - VelocityMagnitudeOfTheSecondObject*SecondObjectDirection u'=ud+ve Acceleration is another derivative a=dv/dt=d(dr/dt)/dt rateOfChange(rateOfChange((particleVelocity(time))) https://medium.com/quantaphy/the-principle-of-least-action-an-exposition-7d60fe554422 The average kinetic energy less the average potential energy is as little as possible for the path of an object going from one point to another - Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics -> Newtonian mechanics [Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion) Original theory of motion (kinematics) and forces (dynamics). - Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics -> Newtonian mechanics -> [Kinematics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics) Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics -> Analytical mechanics [Analytical mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_mechanics) Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics -> Analytical mechanics -> Lagrangian mechanics [Lagrangian mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrangian_mechanics) Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics -> Analytical mechanics -> Hamiltonian mechanics [Hamiltonian mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_mechanics) Physics -> Mechanics -> Statistical mechanics [Statistical mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_mechanics) Physics -> Special relativity When objects move at very high speeds (speed of light) [Special relativity - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity) Physics -> General relativity When objects are massive [General relativity - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_relativity) Physics -> Mechanics -> Relativistic mechanics Mechanics consistent with special and general relativity Physics -> Mechanics -> Quantum mechanics When objects are really small [Quantum mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics) Physics -> Mechanics -> Quantum mechanics -> Schrödinger wave mechanics [Schrödinger equation - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger_equation) Physics -> Mechanics -> Quantum mechanics -> Matrix mechanics Physics -> Mechanics -> Overlaps -> Quantum mechanics, Statistical mechanics -> Quantum statistical mechanics [Quantum statistical mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_statistical_mechanics) Physics -> Classical field theory Physics -> Overlaps -> Classical field theory, Special relativity, and Quantum mechanics -> Quantum field theory [Quantum field theory - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory) Physics -> Overlaps -> Classical field theory, Special relativity, and Quantum mechanics -> Quantum field theory -> Standard model [Standard Model - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Model) [List of unsolved problems in physics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems_in_physics) Branches: Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics -> Branches -> Kinematics [Kinematics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics) Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics -> Branches -> Continuum mechanics [Continuum mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_mechanics) Physics -> Mechanics -> Classical mechanics -> Branches -> Continuum mechanics -> Fluid mechanics [Fluid mechanics - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_mechanics) We understand the insides of AIs more and more "Well trained sparse autoencoders (scale matters!) can decompose a one-layer model into very nice, interpretable features.

On meditation, doing nothing raises energy, focusing on x redirects the energy to that object. Consonant music increases consonance in the nervous system, therefore symmetries, therefor easier thermodynamic information flow, therefore valence Dissonant music can create dissonance overwhelm on existing structures on the nervous system, resulting in explosion of structure, resulting in paradoxially more symmetries and therefore valence Dissos: Instead of dissolution of fundamental beliefs’ structure leading to entropic disintegration and annealing, they probably turned off by inhibition which also leads to cascading entropic disintegration of codependent beliefs releasing free energy leading to annealing Stimulants add convergent energy strengthening beliefs and narrowing attention for more efficient concrete task solving and annealing concrete solution Big picture thinking Lubricating by interacting, strengthening or transforming fundamental priors such as ontology, morals or any other philosophical assumptions about the world or society and so on [Aligning DMT Entities: Shards, Shoggoths, and Waluigis | Qualia Computing](https://qualiacomputing.com/2023/03/05/aligning-dmt-entities-shards-shoggoths-and-waluigis/) [Guided Meditation: The Thermodynamics of Consciousness and the Ecosystem of Agents - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thd1UYKWXrM&list=PLbmYHvGI-YSvnpbh3ppQqcG72lpw4aQdE&index=5&t=4s&pp=iAQB) The Thermodynamics of Consciousness and the Ecosystem of Agents Canalized Mr Meeseeks protective subagents - dissolve by showing them counterfactual proof that they dont need to be so defensive in a new environment and that they can relax.

Radical acceptance of what is and radical responsibility/want for change, not resisting versus resisting, are two psychotechnologies that are useful in different contexts. Wanna not get angered by accidently dropping things from hands to the floor? Acceptance relieves any suffering. Wanna rest in hybernation state and not try to do anything in meditation? Acceptance helps! Wanna not worry about stuff you have little agency over changing? Acceptance! On the other hand, are you addicted to heroin? You should probably change that if you want wellbeing. Accepting is not a good idea there. Have trauma? Recognizing, accepting, and healing, which requires change! Build something, motivation, discipline? Change! helping by transforming unwell/maladapted community or society? Change helps! Ideal is oscillating between acceptance and change according to context and finding a sweetspot!
