Book Very chaotic notes Redundant or duplicates I love extreme complexity. How to increase complexity of a system? Add entropy by overwhelming flow of energy that disintegrates existing structures! Extremely lovely is keeping some thermodynamic nonequilibrium steady state as close to the edge of chaos as possible with very nonlinear internal structure, stabilize ultimately infinitely complex pattern. Or you can go into full blown thermodynamic equilibrium, and that results in death, disintegration of the system into its surroundings, into entropy, the cessation of the system. Since standard model is made of particles as excitations in the quantum fields and their interactions as photons in the electromagnetic fields and other forces, meaning that everything is just forces between particles, creating attractions - are all these equations from chemistry, biology and sociology on higher scales just special configurations of those fundamental particles with deeper equations from the standard model? can all equations in all field be fundamentally mathematically unified under one model - quantum field theory standard model, quantum gravity, unifying other forces, other problems in physics, chemistry, biology, consciousness, sociology I'm curious to see a concrete step by step how you go derive from quantum field theory standard model equations (Dirac, Klein-Gordon, and Yang-Mills equations) darwinian dynamics equations or something similar to it, or rate equations in chemistry, or differential equations for celluar processes, hodgkin huxley model for neurons in biophysics etc. Can Assembly theory help? https://twitter.com/leecronin/status/1711535919654658443 https://twitter.com/seanmcarroll/status/1711875002998444330?t=msXPr8_3UDTj6qlBGVzvtg&s=19 Will quantum chemistry get there? https://qualiaresearch.miraheze.org/wiki/Effective_Individual_And_Collective_Wellbeing_Engineering#Science_-%3E_Chemistry_-%3E_Chemical_physics_and_quantum_chemistry reductionism nonreductionism physicalism nonphysicalism weak emergence strong emergence mind body problem relativity quantumness finite vs infinite universe time symmetry (e.g., fundamental physics) and asymmetry (e.g., thermodynamics, biological aging) objectivity subjectivity deterministic nondeterministic scientific realism nonrealism model of atom [Molecular orbital theory -

Why those in power do everything they can to hold on to it: Stabilizing the sources of learned free energy niches Questioning authority, status quo, or deconstructing fundamentalist beliefs about everything posits to the stability of reified (social) self model with certain degree of agency (or social acceptance as belief coherence) as part of the identity But science is about predictivy of models, not about philosophical or linguistic or aethetics dissagrenents.

Only how models predict empirical data in their niche matters. You want to minimize simplicity and accuracy, plus some other insights. [Arbital](https://arbital.com/p/bayes_science_virtues/) Everything else is totally arbitrary and doesnt matter - just linguistic play in Wittgenstein's language. I love exploring philosophy out of this, but often you can end up just mentally having fun instead of doing science - building mathematical models to predict data. But I would argue the paper doesn't look into existing information theory/complexity science too much, or some parts of physics dealing with emergence, which probably leads to this failure mode. So basics might be wrong, but in math, not in vague philosophical statements in the abstract. And it still might be predictive anyway - just maybe suboptimally. Its still science to me. Same to me applies to the recent clusterfuck around integrated information theory mathematical model of consciousness. Model making predictions = science. Because it philosophically diverges from status quo doesn't make it nonscience to me. If I find a different set of assumptions that will be more optimal in terms of building the most predictive models of the world, I'm up for it. This IMO filters signal out of noise the most efficiently. Side effect might be that because you're constantly autistically doubting all models, some people might not like you not blindly accepting their propositions, lol. But other people on the other hand like you as you're open minded to any predictive models and testing them, without inherently seeing some models as bullshit because the baggage around it isnt aethetically/philosophically/linguistically pleasing. 1) By reconsiling he probably means finding mathematical bridge between quantum field theory standard model (or/and other parts of physics) and darwinian dynamics across scales, or other equations, which one can argue we dont really have, but there are attemps in physics. Hard to test it as we cannot really simulate the enormous growing complexity on higher scales. Biologists would probably define reconsiling as the fact that both standard model and darwinian dynamics equations predict data and bridging isnt neccesary for full ontological explanation. Or assuming magic of strong emergence. 2) That seems like a valid ontological interpretation of darwinian dynamics equations to me. There are definitely more stuff happening in those mathematics, but he mentions that one property. 3) The causal contigency or retrocausality philosophical interpretation of physics also got of attention. Not my favorite framework ontologically, but can be valid in others. Assuming uncertainity in models is useful practically in classical probabilstic mechanics/quantum mechanics. I see causality mostly as statistical.
