Thought experiment regarding non-linear causal nets using an analogy of "dynamical chess"

Imagine a flexible chess board where each move of the chess figures alters the board. And each alteration of the board has effects on the figures as well, causing alteration in the behavior of the figures [a.k.a. the rules each figure has as a pre-defined rule]. | (That's entanglement of feedback-loops.) - This leads to chaotic behavior, making predictions even more difficult and "turbulent".

[This sort of chess is like the interaction between spacetime and matter.]

Following a helpful quote by John Wheeler:

"Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve."

- John Archibald Wheeler, Geons, Black Holes and Quantum Foam: A Life in Physics

Why do I use the neologism "non-linear causal nets"?

There is a kind of idiom-like brabble, called "causal chains". It states a linear string of cause-and-effect. This is often far too simplified for explaining real-life phenomena, because often there are far more causes to an effect than just one. There happen many "causal chains" simultaneously, so to speak. These causal chains are entangled. Multiple of such linear cause-and-effects are entangled, until they are no longer a linear-string or multiple linear strings, but a complex web. Each causal chain alters each other. That is basically a fundamental principle often recognized in quantum mechanics - interference.

It describes conservation of momentum in an analogy-based and merely imagination-based language of knots and loops, similar to some approaches of string theory and (loop) quantum gravity.

Information weaving

"Information weaving" might be the silly name I would use for that collection of conceptions and re-interpretations.

"Information transforms" in this conception are weaving patterns. In concrete, these are interaction patterns like

- replication of interaction pattern (like law of inertia)

- and interference/alteration of interaction pattern (momentum).

These two transforms are the two primary transforms. You can combine them and create all possible sorts of patterns.

Furthermore,... these relate to addition and multiplication of imaginary numbers, resulting in either a translation or a rotation in the complex plane... These might relate to the information transforms stated above.

But the research regarding this is really difficult and curently my mind is too sluggish and too over-crowded to compute it well enough.

It might take some years until it's less mad nonsense.

Spacetime as emergent property of entanglement

I enjoy the project It from Qubit and Polymath Vijay's interpretation that spacetime is emergent due to entanglement.

In my interpretation/analogy of "information weaving" time is a string, and space is the web consisting of that string. Space and time are hence "two aspects of one and the same thing".

This is especially interesting if you consider the difference between a time and a space dimension.

A space dimension has two ways of propagation, so to speak: left-right, top-down, before-behind... (to put it in plain words)

When it comes to the time dimension, I consider it to have only one propagation direction: The future, like in the conception of the arrow of time.

But here it becomes complex. Since time is "mono-directional", say, it has only one direction to propagate towards, it might interact with itself - via feedback-loops. This results in literal entanglement if you consider the arrow of time to be a simple string. Loop, knot and weave that string/arrow with itself and you might have spacetime as a complex result, so to speak.

In regards to quantum entanglement and superposition this interpretation might make sense as well, but I am not far enough with my research about that topic to summarize it coherently.

Furthermore, you can also define quantum gravity as the "degree of clotting": or, say: Let's interpret gravity as a principle of clustering: Areas with more density gain density, and areas with less density lose even more density, to reduce gravity to its primary principle.

Gravity is hence a re-distribution, a re-ordering of matter, or information, so to speak...

In regards to my information weaving conception, quantum gravity defines the density of information. It also defines how information re-distributes itself over time.

How the clustering happens depends on the patterns of interaction. And the patterns of interaction are affected by clustering as well. (Leading us back to Wheeler's quote above... )

What is "information"?

I regard information as an interaction pattern, a pattern in the web of causal nets, so to speak.

...

This is all a bit difficult to summarize. I will visualize it once I have summarized the parts of it well enough.

That was my literally chaotic thoughts as of today. It's a bit (/very much) incoherent.

A kind of fun high school physics collision problem, generalized slightly.

[Click here for a PDF version of this post] fig. 1. The collision problem. Karl’s studying for his grade 12 physics final, and I picked out some problems from his text [1] for him to work on. Here’s one, fig. 1, that he made a numerical error with. I solved this two ways, the first was quick and dirty using Mathematica, so he could check his answer against a number, and then while he was working…

Momentum

Introduction Momentum is a fundamental concept in physics. It is a vector quantity and is expressed classically as the product of an objects mass and velocity. Definition of Momentum The momentum $\vec{p}$ of an object can be calculated using the formula: $\vec{p} = m\vec{v}$ where $m$ is the mass of the object and $\vec{v}$ is its velocity. Conservation of Momentum One of the key…

I am An Adult and got the windows and gutters cleaned today, but unfortunately I am also An Midwesterner so I feel weird not cleaning while someone else is cleaning near me, even if I'm paying them to do it, so I wiped all the cat prints off all the walls and now I feel like I'm made of sweaty jello...

I think one of the reasons the Harris / Walz ticket has so much momentum is because the campaign is genuinely trying to put out this vibe of fun. Like that's all the "brat" thing is, the coconut jokes, just being kind of silly and fun.

And I think it's working, because let's be real, we are all exhausted. It's been all about preserving democracy, defeating fascism, the past eight years. The message has been "vote for us because the country is literally on the line". The vibes are not good when we are stuck back at that fight, and not even discussing trying to make progress on things like housing, healthcare, education, etc. And the fight to just stop fascism? All still true. Project 2025 is real and is extremely scary. We can't let that man back into office.

But the vibe was "vote for us otherwise we're all fucked :(" and now has shifted to "get in, we're making popcorn and then bullying fascists." Like a lot of the issues conservatives bring up, the Harris / Walz is just not engaging them in good faith, as they shouldn't. Republicans bring up abortion, and the Dems are just like, "you want 14 year old to give birth? Weirdo" and just leave it at that. Like YES, that's what you should do. Because it SHOULDNT be a debate. And it's working. This is how you defeat the identify politics thing Republicans have been trying to push for a while. Just mocking them for the stupidity of it all. "Like seriously? You think a book can make someone gay??? Hahaha." None of the Republicans are reacting well. They can't stand it. Vance even complained about bullying!!! Like do you KNOW who picked you as vp??? It's actually laughable, because they have no room to stand on when it comes to bullying.

And a huge part of the mocking and dismissing of Republicans is that the message is clear - were done debating all this stupid stuff. We've won the last two elections' popular vote - most Americans do NOT want christo-facism. It's time to move on. And that's what gives me hope, and the feeling of hope I think a lot of people have picked up on. It's time to address all the issues we've all wished we've been addressing the past decade. It's important we move onto that, and that's the message I'm getting from this campaign (We're not going back). I think it will resonate with a lot of people, because plainly, we're all just sick of this same old news cycle and fake rage bait over things like "should women have rights?", "Should gay people be allowed to exist?" The general populace have answered YES to both these multiple times, and it is time to move on. Maybe I'm being naive, but I am genuinely excited at the idea of putting to bed these debates (it's exhausting trying to fend your very existence) and moving on to actual economic and social policies that could fix a lot of deterioration over the last 2 decades.

Yarkovsky Effect

Introduction The Yarkovsky Effect is the force acting on a rotating body in space caused by the anisotropic emission of thermal photons (which carry momentum). This effect is named after the engineer Ivan Osipovich Yarkovsky, who first proposed the idea. This effect plays a significant role in the dynamics of small celestial bodies, such as asteroids and meteoroids. Understanding the Yarkovsky…
