#technically Mathematics links to Theory - Mathematical

[bubbloquacious]

The current (2024-7-23) first-link chain on Wikipedia containing mathematics goes

Mathematics -> Theory -> Reason -> Logic -> Logical reasoning -> Logical consequence -> Concept -> Abstraction -> Rule of inference -> Philosophy of logic -> Philosophy -> Existence -> Reality -> Universe -> Space -> Three-dimensional space -> Geometry -> Mathematics

and I think that's delightful.

Penguins are very, very cool! Time for some bioacoustics facts about them! Did you ask for it? No. But you're getting them anyway. I WILL MAKE YOU LEARN VIA SHIPPING PENGUINS.

Penguins - The final frontier

Penguin colonies are very large, as you can see from the photos in the first posts. Often you have significant background noise from all the other penguins, and winds, which can reach 95 decibels or more!

As you can imagine, this makes life difficult for communication purposes. So how do our feathered friends find family, fame, fortune and full-time lovers?

Claude Shannon

What! It's black and white, but that's not a penguin!

Correct! This is information theory progenitor Claude Shannon. He's going to help us understand this. There is, in fact, not a tiny Claude Shannon inside every penguin (...yet 👀), but he will help us to understand their lives through information theory.

In information theory terms we can simulate a penguin as follows:

A signal emitter (aka. the beak and bellows)

A signal receiver (aka. the sleek ears)

Think of this as similar to your high school mathematics/physics textbooks with all their lovely assumptions.

To successfully communicate we must use a signal, from a transmitter, to be collected by a receiver which must then be processed successfully.

Ideally there would be a direct transmitter to receiver system with no noise, but life isn't fair and we must all suffer.

Penguins live in very windy areas. This means there's a lot of what we call "noise" which gets in the way of communication. Think of it like going to a concert, or noise restaurant, and trying to have a conversation.

This adds "noise" to signals. If you think of playing a gramophone records, or watching a cassette tape, think of the scratch of the needle or the grain/static on the video screen. The video is still there, but you can likely understand most of it if the noise is low enough.

The aim is for one penguin lover to "signal" itself the other. So what do they do? They create a unique set of syllables which they call out to the crowd. It's like their own penguin serial number - or musical song!

This works! The repeated pattern is like a unique serial number so even if some of the notes are missed, it can be understood by the other penguin. So what if it's really noisy?

They increase the number of syllables if there's more noise! That means that there's more of a chance for the other lover to hear their calls over the cacophony of wind and other penguin calls. A longer melody that

Pretty neat right?

Nerds who study this in more detail find that it's actually the modulations in frequency which the penguin's "receivers" (aka. ears) are attuned to and are used in recognizing each other. Changing pitch doesn't do a thing. (There are exceptions for some penguin species - see the references for more details).

But wait, there's more!

Penguins have social courtesy rules. Like Tumblr users, they too want to ship other penguins as cute couples. When one penguin calls out to another, other penguins within a 7 meter, or so, radius will fall silent.

Remember: There is still some good in the world

But it gets more interesting with certain types of penguins.

Some penguins are BUILT DIFFERENT. Emperor Penguins are, in fact, DIRECTIONAL TRANSMISSION UNITS who use the curvature of their bellies to amplify their calls in one specific direction.

They are literally built for loving.

And this, casual reader, is technically HOW LOVE WINS!

🐧🐧 Now you can resume your usual programming of shipping the cute penguins 🐧🐧

Want to know more?

Most of this I learned from a great book written by a French neuroscientist and bio-acoustics expert, Nicolas Mathevon. Link in the references. There's more I didn't talk about so take a look if you're into this kind of thing.

The animal kingdom is a treasure trove of unique information networks, with creatures specifically evolved to utilize them. It's a real treat to uncover and explore it all.

Spacetime Dimension Field: A New Approach to Quantum Gravity

Spacetime dimension Field The recent quantum discovery demonstrates that gravity now comes from hidden spacetime symmetry principles.

In a groundbreaking discovery, Aalto University physicists have linked gravity to the Standard Model of particle physics, which could lead to the long-awaited “Theory of Everything.” The discovery redefines gravity and sheds light on the interplay between the basic forces of reality.

A New Gravity Approach Gravity has long puzzled scientists. Gravity remained separate, but quantum field theory explains electromagnetic, strong, and weak nuclear forces. Even though it encounters this force constantly, the quantum framework cannot describe it. Aalto University researchers propose the “spacetime dimension field.” Standard Model physicists are familiar with the symmetries that bind gravity to quantum principles in this new domain. The Standard Model's three forces come from quantum field symmetries. But gravity wasn't originally defined this way. The new paradigm posits that gravity comes from latent symmetries in the spacetime dimension field, not spacetime distortions. These symmetries produce gravitational force at all time and place, like other forces. A Quantum Gravity Breakthrough Due to this shift in perspective, quantum gravity's long-standing problem of reconciling Einstein's theory of relativity with quantum mechanics may be resolved. Mikko Partanen, the discovery's lead researcher, says the theory can be renormalised to the first order. In short, the mathematical models assist overcome a major hurdle to understanding quantum gravity by offering constrained and well-defined values. More importantly, it links Einstein's general relativity theory to classical general relativity. Though intriguing, the theory is new. The researchers will proceed beyond first-order terms to fix remaining difficulties and improve the model. To reach a single theory, quantum gravity computations must remove infinities. Expanding Beyond Basics The concept is still emerging but could change our understanding of black hole singularities and the Big Bang. Completely quantumizing gravity could explain the universe's most baffling events. A comprehensive quantum theory of gravity is still a long and tough road, says Partanen. The scientists expect their approach will answer major physics issues. These ideas must be tested theoretically and experimentally before being widely used. Implications for Physics and More

New hypothesis affects more than physics. Verification may yield groundbreaking quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and cosmology insights. Unified theories may help us grasp underlying forces and allow breakthrough technology. This framework's emphasis on symmetry may inspire new scientific and technical methods. Symmetry-based innovations may offer new ways to problems in information technology and materials research. The Way Forward

Validating the theory's predictions experimentally is a major challenge for academics studying the spacetime dimension field. This requires developing new methodologies and tools to study quantum and cosmic scales where these impacts may occur. Even if theoretical work seems promising, experiments will be needed to prove or disprove the hypothesis. The search for a single, complete theory has advanced tremendously. Scientists are excited by the Aalto University study and hopeful that we may discover the deep, hidden symmetries guiding the universe's fundamental forces.

Why Schools Need to Embrace Art as Part of STEAM Education

Education is evolving rapidly, and with it comes the need to prepare students for a future where creativity and innovation matter more than ever. Incorporating art into the traditional STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) curriculum has given rise to STEAM education. This approach not only enhances learning but also ensures students are well-rounded individuals. But why is art important in schools, and how does it connect to the value of education? 

The Role of Art in STEAM Education

Art is often seen as separate from subjects like science or maths, but it plays a critical role in developing essential skills. When students engage in art, they improve their ability to think creatively, solve problems, and communicate effectively. These are the same skills needed to excel in STEM fields.

For example, an engineer designing a bridge needs creativity for aesthetic appeal and functionality. Similarly, a scientist presenting research must convey ideas visually to make their findings accessible. Art teaches these transferable skills, making it an indispensable part of education.

Boosting Innovation Through Art

At its core, art fuels innovation. It encourages students to experiment and think outside the box. In a world driven by technology, we need people who can bring fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to global challenges.

Adding art to the curriculum helps students think differently about problems. Instead of focusing solely on formulas or processes, they begin to see possibilities. This mindset is what drives progress in fields like design, architecture, and even artificial intelligence.

Fostering Emotional Intelligence and Empathy

Art also contributes to emotional development, teaching children to understand and express their feelings. By engaging in creative activities, students build empathy, learn to value different perspectives and grow as compassionate individuals.

This aligns closely with the principles of value education. Is value education necessary in schools? Absolutely. It’s through such learning that students grow into responsible and ethical citizens. Integrating art into STEAM education ensures they don’t just excel academically but also develop the emotional intelligence needed to thrive in the real world.

Making Learning More Engaging

One of the biggest challenges in education is keeping students engaged. Art has a way of making learning fun and interactive. Whether it’s creating visual projects for a science lesson or designing a prototype in engineering class, art adds an element of excitement that motivates students to participate actively.

By linking art with STEM, we create an environment where students feel inspired to explore and experiment. This approach not only boosts academic performance but also helps reduce the pressure often associated with STEM subjects.

Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice

Art transforms theoretical concepts into practical experiences. For instance, a lesson on geometry can come alive when students use shapes to create patterns or designs. Similarly, understanding physics becomes easier when students build models or sketch out ideas.

This hands-on approach makes learning tangible and helps students retain concepts longer. It also prepares them to apply their knowledge in real-world situations, a skill crucial for success in any career.

Conclusion

Art is not just an extracurricular activity; it’s a vital part of education. By embracing art as part of STEAM, schools can prepare students to succeed in a world that values creativity and collaboration as much as technical expertise. Art builds a bridge between academics and life skills that promote value education in schools. And is value education necessary in schools​? Absolutely—it ensures students grow into empathetic, innovative, and balanced individuals.

Modern Data Scientist: Technical and Soft Skills You Need to be successful

What skills are required to be a Data Scientist? OR Is strong mathematics background required to pursue a career as a data scientist? We at Rang Technologies see a lot of questions like this. It's hard when you're trying to break into the field to know exactly how much math & stats you need. Primarily, it depends on how a company is defining "data scientist." Some companies say "data scientist" but really mean "data engineer", which is much more focused on the software engineering side of things and strong with coding production systems, data storage and extraction, cluster management etc. The latter is less Math/Stats and more CS focused. Secondly it depends on how a company is dividing responsibilities. Some look for people who are either strong in programming or strong in mathematics/statistics, and then combine them in a team. Others look for "fully fledged" data scientists who have the deep insight in different models and when to apply which algorithms and can do all the implementation of the data. How the role you're looking at fits into these descriptions will affect how much math/stats you need to demonstrate. Given the variance, the trick is to carefully dissect the job posting and dig into the background of the current team. LinkedIn is a great place to do this. You can generally figure out the different roles (job titles) as well as see the skills/background people in these roles have. That said, there are a few mainstays that, irrespective of role, you should be demonstrating on your resume. Either through your academic courses/coursework, online courses you've taken, or project work you've completed (including write-ups that demonstrate your understanding). Specifically: 

Linear algebra (and ideally basic multivariate calculus)

Regression ... linear regression and the things that violate the assumptions of linear models (e.g., autocorrelation in time series data, non-independent observations)

Probability theory ... especially Bayes' Law and Central Limit Theorem

Numerical analysis (e.g., time series analysis and forecasting)

Core machine learning methods (clustering, decision trees, k-NN)

How to take action now?

Compare this list of mainstays versus your resume. Which do you cover off? Which are you missing? Of those, which have you used or are proficient with? Time to make space to mention them - and if it is via project work, think about linking to a more detailed write-up (for example on GitHub) so you can highlight a deeper level of understanding. This is especially important for non-Math/Stats candidates, as the burden of proof is higher! If you've covered more than the above, great! Make sure the most relevant courses shine through and get you noticed. Technical Skills: Analytics Education - Data scientists are highly educated - 88% have at least a Master's degree and 46% have PhDs - and while there are notable exceptions, a very strong educational background is usually required to develop the depth of knowledge necessary to be a data scientist. Their most common fields of study are Mathematics and Statistics (32%), followed by Computer Science (19%) and Engineering (16%). SAS and/or R - In-depth knowledge of at least one of these analytical tools, for data science R is generally preferred. Skills Required are as below: Technical Skills: Computer Science Python Coding: Python is the most common coding language I typically see required in data science roles, along with Java, Perl, or C/C++. Hadoop Platform: Although this isn't always a requirement, it is heavily preferred in many cases. Having experience with Hive or Pig is also a strong selling point. Familiarity with cloud tools such as Amazon S3 can also be beneficial. SQL Database/Coding: Even though NoSQL and Hadoop have become a large component of data science, it is still expected that a candidate will be able to write and execute complex queries in SQL. Unstructured data: It is critical that a data scientist be able to work with unstructured data, whether it is from social media, video feeds or audio. About Rang Technologies: Headquartered in New Jersey, Rang Technologies has dedicated over a decade delivering innovative solutions and best talent to help businesses get the most out of the latest technologies in their digital transformation journey. Read More...

Ok before I start, let me say the following:

The explanation above was prompted by "what is the fancy abstract algebra term". Therefore, it was highly technical and full of jargon, because that was kind of the point there. This explanation would have been hard to understand for anyone who didn't do college/university level algebra before.

I don't know much about dyscalculia. I've heard of it, but I don't know the details. From what I understand, it makes it particularly hard to do calculations, which is a bit rough since arithmetic is kind of a key part of this subject. I'll try my best to give more conceptual and visual explanations and tone down on the formulas. But forgive me if my explanation is still hard to understand.

Now, to your question on group theory and fields: Mathematicians make, ehm, interesting choices when naming things. "Group theory" is rather harmless, since it's indeed about groups of things, in some sense. It doesn't really give you an idea what the subject is about, though. A more descriptive name would be "symmetry theory". There is a precise definition of a group, which essentially comes from trying to formalize what a symmetry of a thing is. For this small overview, it'll be enough to just visually think of symmetries, though.

The term "field" is much worse, since this has nothing to do with the nice green fields you might be thinking of. In mathematics, a field is basically a collection of things that you can do basic arithmetic (so addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) with. So an example of a field would be the rational numbers, i.e. the collection of all fractions.

Now with fractions, you can do a lot of stuff. But you can't do everything. In particular, there are some equations that you just can't solve with only fractions. But mathematicians are stubborn, so in order to deal with that, they just invented new numbers that help them solve the equations they couldn't solve before. It however turns out that there is often not only one way to invent those new numbers. To explain it visually, you could instead of inventing one new number, invent its "mirror image", and nothing would really change in the end. In other situations, you might need to invent multiple new numbers, and things might still be the same if you "rotate those new numbers around". These "reflections" and "rotations" are symmetries of some sort. So in the mathematical jargon, this is the link between fields and group theory I was talking about.

Ok, so this is super vague. To make it at least a tiny bit less abstract, I'll now give two examples. This means also giving the equations, but I'll keep calculations to a minimum.

As I said, the starting point is basically an equation you want to solve, but can't. Consider the equation

x² = -1.

We won't be doing much with this. All you need to notice is that on the right side, there is a negative number, whereas on the left side, we are squaring something, i.e. we are multiplying something with itself. Now a positive number multiplied by itself is positive again, so this wouldn't work. However, a negative number times a negative number is also going to be positive. So never when multiplying something by itself will you get something negative. This equation can't be solved with the numbers we know.

In order to deal with this, mathematicians just invent a new number and just define it to be a solution to the equation, cause fuck it why not. In this case, the new number would be called i. This number is new, so it's not anywhere on the usual number line, since that's already occupied. Instead, it's usually drawn above the number line.

However, this new i is not the only solution to the equation. With basically the same reasoning as we just did, it doesn't really matter whether we multiply i by itself or whether we multiply -i by itself, the two minuses compensate for each other. So -i is another solution. It lies where you would end up if you were to reflect the point i along the line, basically in the same way as 1 and -1 or 2 and -2 are reflections of each other.

Now, in this case, it doesn't really matter which one of the two you invent. So could swap them around and nothing would really change. Swapping them is a reflection along the line, a symmetry.

A more complex example would be the equation

x⁵ = 1.

I won't go into detail here since the post is already very long and justifying the following would involve a lot more calculations. The only thing I will mention is that here we have a 5 in the equation, whereas before we had a 2. Also, before we had two solutions (i and -i), so now it'd make sense to invent new numbers to have five solutions. Visually, these five solutions would look like this:

The arrows here again denote a symmetry for this equation, which here is again reflection along the line. For this equation however, there is actually more than one way to swap the solutions around without changing the underlying structure. The other symmetries are:

(also mathematicians usually count "changing nothing" as a symmetry too. we'll just ignore that here ^^)

Alright! I hope that was somewhat understandable, or at least interesting to read. ^-^

Why is √-1= i

√-1 don't know.

TAFAKKUR: Part 358

CAUSALITY AND THE QUR'ANIC WORLD-VIEW: Part 1

The universe has been made in the form of a book, intelligible, so as to make known its Author. The book addresses man. The aim is to make him read the book and its parts, and respond with worship and thanks to the will of the Author. Man attains to that worship by uncovering, through scientific study, the order in the book of the universe, and displaying the functioning of beings and the workings of the universe.

The universe is not passive. It is not neutral. We cannot interpret it as we wish. There is only one correct way of looking at the world, one universal world-view which is common to all humanity. This view is taught to us in the Qur'an as well as in the book of the universe by our Creator.

This does not mean that the Qur'anic world-view does not recognize that the perception of the world differs from one person to another. It allows for plurality within unity so that a universal dialogue is possible. In this world-view there is no fragmentation and no conflict. There is only harmony, assistance, peace and compassion.

The materialist scientific world-view is based on radical fragmentation. Materialist science takes nature to mean a mechanism with no inherent value and meaning. It isolates an object by cutting off its connections with the rest of the world and studies it within its immediate environment.

Whereas our perception of ourselves tells us that we are meaningful and part of the whole universe, and everything must have a meaning and must be part of the whole universe, materialist science has left the subject. i.e. man, out of the universe, and insofar as this science is taking over, people feel that they have no place in this world. They are isolated from other people. Their lives have no meaning, except in a very limited, egoistic sense. Man is alienated from his environment and from himself.

In the light of modern physics, the mechanistic view is an incoherent description of nature. The developments of modem physics call for a radical revision in our concept of reality. They shattered all the principal concepts of classical physics.

Many concepts, like the causal nature of physical phenomena and the ideal of an objective description of nature, changed with the advent of the new theories of modern science, quantum, relativity and, more recently, chaos theory.

However, these changes have not been matched by parallel changes in the world-view of science. The modifications took place only on a mathematical level. Because all that counts for scientists is the development of mathematical formulations of the behaviour of physical phenomena. Such a goal is not regarded merely for its technical utility; rather most scientists believe that prediction of this kind is all that knowledge is about.

They claim that our concept of reality is of little or no importance. However, it is clear that our concept of reality has a tremendous effect on how we behave in relation to nature and to other people, and also on the meaning life has for us as individuals. We cannot dispense with a world-view.

This attitude of the scientists is in contradiction with modern science. Classically it was thought that science could describe and explain everything in the world 'objectively' i.e. as it actually is in reality and that the 'observer' i.e. the scientist himself, could describe the world by means of mathematical models which were independent of his judgement. The discoveries of modern physics, however, point towards the unity of all things, an unbroken wholeness which denies the classical fragmentation of the world into separate and independent parts. In the quantum theory, every particle is linked to the rest of the universe and cannot be isolated from it. This oneness of the universe includes human beings as well. The quantum theory, together with abolishing the notion of fundamentally separate objects, has introduced the concept of 'participator' to replace that of the neutral observer. Modern science therefore restores man to his central position. It puts an end to the notion of neutral, objective description of nature and thus to impartial objective science.

Up to the present, materialist science has been based on a deterministic, causal view of the world. Although the latest theories like the quantum and chaos theories are leading to a world-view where there is no room for fragmentation and determinism, materialist scientists still insist on following the fragmented and causal approach. They have to be reductionist because they believe in causality. At the same time they do realize that their materialist world-view is collapsing. Theoretically they understand that, in order to explain one thing, they need to know its connections to all other things. This is obviously impossible because these connections extend in time and in space beyond human capacities; they are infinite and cannot be embraced by human beings who are also parts of those connections.

The materialist scientists understand that the unity of the universe points to an Absolute Creator. For the things we study do not bear meanings limited to themselves but testify to the Absoluteness of their Creator. But in order to be able to claim that their scientific studies produce knowledge, the scientists insist on denying the Absolute Creator. And because their scientific method is based on causality which cannot accommodate the unity of the universe, they ignore that unity and compartmentalize the universe so that they can study each compartment as the product of a limited number of causes. In this way, they can pretend the universe has no Creator and its meaning is limited to what they tell us about it. They thus claim their science to be the source of knowledge.

I have been listening to True Spies podcast on Spotify. It’s apparently connected to a thing called Spyscape, which has a museum/experience thing in New York. They also have an online test for your personality and intelligence.... well those intelligence tests all of course have to do with math. and they are TIMED. somehow I got thru guessing most of them.... didn’t score 0 but didn’t score great. 

so guess what I scored on intelligence!  and personality scores mean I’m more prone to health problems and being unhappy.... :( 

(here I woke up thinking I can be uniquely me, I don’t want to be like anyone else anyway, I can embrace that... but how can I when what I am is this pathetic)

I shouldn’t have done this, I know what these tests do, make me discouraged and hate myself more. they even said I’m not imaginative and creative-- things I value most besides intelligence (and intuition/empathy...) 

they did say the “spy role” I was most suited for, which is what I’m most interested in, intelligence analyst. But in the more “practical” side, for jobs, it mentioned medical things, technical things, which I wouldn’t be good at and don’t like, business marketing-- working for a business I don’t care about, a job with no meaning....  it even had mathematician! when I’m obviously not good at math. the only jobs I might be interested in are psychologist/criminologist... idk.... to late for me to get any career anyway, let alone somehow what I really want

they did a risk assessment, where you blow up the balloon before it pops to get “money” - yesterday I started it and panicked when the balloon popped the first time and closed the window. then when I was walking the dogs it occured to me it was a test lol and I would just have to keep risking popping the balloon... so today I saw it as more of a game and not the ‘scary balloon popping oh no I lost money!” -not even real money. idk about fun.... all these things were stressful esp the intelligence test. 

today I started the test, thinking it might help me, get insight into what I can do, instead, it discouraged me, I’m what I thought, mediocre and not suited for much, they only gave a “role” to me because they had to give me something. It said the intelligence analyst is inquisitive--when it just said I wasn’t -  idk how this even fits with the test bc analytical? that wasn’t one of the dimensions and doesn’t seem like I scored high on implied analytical powers, same with determined-- 

how can i live with myself being like this, having no role and no future according to any dimension that really counts. don’t want to be plodding away at menial tasks when I want to do something Imaginative, Creative, Intellectual-- ha can’t even do that

oh I’m proving them right, easily stressed and sensitive and reactive -- 

I’m not including the risk assessment bc I don’t think it’s accurate-- I’m really very risk averse in all cases... oh we know that already so.

results (bold/parentheses is mine)

MENTAL HORSEPOWER

Unlike Alan Turing would, you scored moderately low {yay!:(} on this attribute. The result, driven by your performance in the personality tests, suggests that, on the whole, you struggle with complex mathematical and analytical problems. {so how can I be an analyst?} That said, you can usually spot patterns and find links in data – as long as the information you have been given isn’t too abstract. (I like big picture things.... abstract things... apparently I’m not good at it)

IN YOUR DAILY LIFE

Like other people with a moderately low Mental Horsepower score, you are more likely to ‘go with your gut’ when making decisions rather than to apply logic and reason (that’s true.... logic is mystifying. fits with being INFP-- logic is my weakest point). It is unlikely that you will sit down and win a game of chess, and you probably rely on your satnav rather than read a map yourself. (yep.... chess is too much strategy... I can’t see ahead like that .. hm how could I be an analyst)

IN YOUR WORK

Because you are not a very conceptual thinker, you are better in roles where you can do things ‘automatically’ rather than applying any abstract reasoning skills. You are not bad at visual-spatial or mathematical tests though, and with training and practice, your skills will definitely improve.

THE SCIENCE

Mental Horsepower relates to our general cognitive ability and our capacity to think about, reason with, and understand abstract concepts. It particularly links to analytical and mathematical skills, but also covers memory, comprehension, language, learning capacity and judgement. These are hugely significant skills for success at work and in everyday life.

Psychologists have developed all kinds of tests to measure cognitive ability. Some of these involve predicting outcomes from patterns in data (also known as inductive reasoning), while others focus on mentally flipping and rotating images. We use both of these approaches in our Mental Horsepower tests at SPYSCAPE.

Recent neuroimaging research shows that intelligence is linked to brain patterns, and that these patterns are unique to each of us (meaning you can’t change them :(  )– much like our fingerprints. In one study, these brain ‘fingerprints’ were used to successfully predict people’s scores in IQ tests.

While IQ tests are probably the most common method for determining cognitive ability, there is some debate over whether they provide a complete picture. For example, theories suggest that there are many different types of intelligence which are not accounted for in these tests. Still, it is generally accepted that people who score highly on tests of cognitive ability are on the whole better at completing intelligence-related (so that career’s out... if it was ever in lol) tasks in the real world.

~

COMPOSURE

Unlike Jason Bourne, you scored extremely low (low on everything! what a wonderful person!) on this attribute. The result, driven by your performance in the personality tests, suggests that you are far more vulnerable to stressors than most people (I knew that). You are likely to have a very strong emotional reaction to negative events and your brain becomes highly active when you see something you perceive as unpleasant (like this test!). Although this means you find it hard to relax, it also means you are really tuned in to your surroundings ( and what’s the upside of that? nice consolation prize....)

IN YOUR DAILY LIFE

Like other people with extremely low levels of composure, you are highly likely to experience anxiety and burnout. (with things that aren’t really stressful to anyone else. just stepping outside. just being inside-- doing thigns like this.. doing most things actually-- help how can i live) You can be far too critical of yourself (well how do i stop? if this is how I am like), especially when you are stressed (which is almost all the time), and this can make it tricky for you to overcome problems (which is never, which is why I’m still living w my parents). You also dwell on the past far more than people with high composure.

On the positive side, you are responsive to your environment, which means you are more likely to anticipate negative outcomes and find ways to avoid them (like almost everything). You are also sensitive and caring, and your observant nature means you look out for yourself and the people close to you. (what’s the point of that when you can’t do anything, or get to know new people)

IN YOUR WORK

It is unlikely your colleagues will turn to you when there is an emergency or crisis at work. This is because you struggle to keep your emotions in check, and challenging situations can get the better of you. When this happens, you are not great at maintaining focus or making tough decisions.

THE SCIENCE

Composure relates to how our brains respond to stress. In tense situations, your brain activates an area called the hypothalamus, which releases adrenalin and cortisol – also known as stress hormones.

A bit of stress now and then is important for survival, because it alerts us to the dangers around us. Small amounts can be useful, but too much over a long period of time is bad for our health (oh goody). Studies show that the adrenal cortex, the part of the brain that releases stress hormones, is also linked to the healthy function of our immune system – and people who are more prone to stress are also more likely to get sick.

There is also a connection between composure and working (short-term) memory. Composed people perform better on tasks where they need to recall and use relevant information while they’re doing something else – for example remembering the steps of a recipe when cooking a meal.

PEOPLE SCORING LOW IN COMPOSURE ARE

VIGILANT

Contentiousness

Unlike diligent Mission: Impossible hero Isla Faust, you scored moderately low on this attribute. The result, driven by your performance in the personality tests, suggests that unlike Isla, you find it difficult to keep focused on long-term goals {Idk about this. goals are all i focus on.... well. I think about them often but Idk how to create the steps to get there and so things fizzle out and I get-- discouraged what else is new). You get distracted or bored quite quickly and are often drawn to new ideas and projects instead of finishing what you are currently doing (well.... hm. I finish novels...). You understand what is important in life, but you sometimes skip the details. (I’m not a detail person... I can be but they often seem irrelevant)

IN YOUR DAILY LIFE

Because you prefer not to a follow a schedule, hobbies that require regular training are not for you. In fact, your interests change quite regularly, and you find long-term commitment a challenge whatever the activity. Friends and family know that if they want you to do something, they need to encourage you to get organized. When they press you, however, you do things pretty well.

IN YOUR WORK

You take a relatively flexible approach to work. As such, you get distracted easily and do not always complete the task in hand. Because of your tendency to do this, you are likely to change jobs – and perhaps even career – fairly regularly (I want variety... Idk, this sort of fits, sort of doesn’t).

THE SCIENCE

Conscientiousness shapes how likely you are to follow rules, regulate your own behavior and get yourself organized. The more conscientious you are, the more motivated by goals and tasks you are likely to be.

According to what psychologists call the ‘Big-5’ model, conscientiousness is a core dimension of personality – and one of the five key traits that drive human behavior. Whether you are high or low in conscientiousness can help predict your success in social, academic and professional situations.

If you have high levels of conscientiousness, you are probably more productive and better at adapting to new situations (that’s true, I’m not) that come your way. However, this does not mean that being conscientious is always a good thing, because research also shows that being too conscientious can lead to overthinking. (I do that too...)

Some studies suggest that people who are more conscientious are healthier – and they might even live longer. This might be because conscientious people are more likely to exercise regularly, eat healthily, and avoid smoking or drinking too much alcohol.

It’s hard to say where conscientiousness comes from. One study found a link with areas of the brain relating to attention and cognitive control. There is also evidence to suggest that genes play their part. It’s likely that social factors such as your upbringing influence how conscientious you are, too.

PEOPLE SCORING HIGH IN CONSCIENTIOUSNESS ARE

PEOPLE SCORING LOW IN CONSCIENTIOUSNESS ARE

INQUISITIVENESS

Unlike Carrie Mathison in Homeland, you scored moderately low on this attribute. Your score was driven by your performance in the personality tests, and it suggests that you are pretty cautious about new ideas, beliefs, cultures and theories.

IN YOUR DAILY LIFE

Like other people who scored moderately low on this attribute, you are not so willing to take on board other people’s views (that’s true). You will consider what people have to say, but you are likely to stick with your own opinion. You feel more comfortable in familiar situations and surroundings (well, yes...), and you do not really feel the need to explore new places (I kind of do, though... I want to but I often... don’t. because it’s too hard).

IN YOUR WORK

Because you aren’t motivated to learn or acquire new skills (Idk about this... depends on if it’s something I’m interested in. I’m learning like 15 languages on Duolingo...), you are less likely to seek out new opportunities at work. And the longer you stay in a job, the worse your motivation is likely to get. In general, you tend to perform better when you start a new position, although you will carry this out using the same approach you always have, rather than approach it in a new way. You like real-world, practical work that has straightforward solutions.

THE SCIENCE

Inquisitiveness is an important trait for discovering new things and building a better understanding of people and of the world around us. Psychologists have developed tools for assessing and measuring how inquisitive a person is.

These are based on extensive research into personality and are designed to evaluate five facets related to inquisitiveness: (i) intellectual curiosity; (ii) aesthetic sensitivity; (iii) active imagination; (iv) attentiveness to inner feelings and; (v) preference for variety.

Furthermore, personality researchers have identified two types of inquisitiveness; ‘epistemic’, which refers to information seeking ( I think I’m more information seeking?) behaviour and ‘perceptual’, which refers to experience seeking.

SOCIABILITY

A bit like Alec Leamas in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, you scored extremely low (yay. well I knew this... and from answering the questions... )on this attribute, which suggests that you prefer to spend time alone and keep yourself to yourself. You avoid parties, meet-ups and other noisy gatherings because you find them overwhelming (wayyyy). If you really have to socialize, you need plenty of quiet time afterwards to help you rest and recharge.

IN YOUR DAILY LIFE

Like others with an extremely low sociability score, you don’t like being the center of attention and often struggle to start conversations. You think a lot before speaking and regularly find it hard to express your thoughts and ideas. Because of this, you often let others do the talking, and you don’t take part in small talk either. This behavior means you might come across as socially reactive, and people may think you only talk to them when you feel you really have to (as in, extremely negative, and I shouldn’t exist. although... i do talk to them if I have to.... haha I do take part in small talk because I think I have to. or people will think I’m rude. but I don’t like it. I’m sensitive to how I’m perceived and don’t want to be seen as too antisocial, but I talk to others out of fear not of want... yikes. no wonder no one wants to be around me. well I don't want to be around them. well - I want to be around people I know well. for limited amounts of time... need less to recharge from people I know than strangers. I want to be with them, I don’t want to be with strangers-- it’s only stress and not fun at all. but how do i get past the stranger part to the friend part if I don’t like being with strangers and it’s all stressful adn overwhelming? How do i participate in society, have people to talk to, have any sort of success??? - shouldn't exist.).

IN YOUR WORK

Because you are more comfortable working independently (please. HOW???? besides working for myself... haha can’t work for anyone else bc can’t get past the interview, these ^ traits are obvious and not something any employer in their right mind wants), you will be more productive – and much happier – managing your own workload, tackling problems alone, and avoiding company brainstorms and powwows.

THE SCIENCE

How sociable you are can be linked to your levels of happiness, positivity, and wellbeing. In fact, sociability relates to a variety of positive outcomes in life, including how successful you are at work, how well you cope with challenging situations, and even how physically and mentally healthy you are. (yay. I’m doomed. I might as well kill myself now)

People who are highly sociable are more positive emotionally (case in point!) than those who are less sociable. In one brain imaging study, people with a high sociability score had higher levels of brain activity when they saw images of happy faces and other positive emotions.

The same part of the brain that processes emotions also helps interpret information from social contexts, which means we can judge a social situation and then respond appropriately (social situations, like math problems and logic, are mystifying to me. yay the things that are highest linked to success--).

There is some evidence to suggest that highly sociable people might be better at detecting and decoding the meaning of social cues –  including how they analyze and read people’s faces (oh, I know that. I have a hard time judging people’s faces, in fact I often think they are mad at me or judging me by their faces when they probably aren’t. I even have trouble finding out what emotions go with what emoji! besides the basics. i mean why, how are there so many emojis....). This means they are likely to find social interaction easier to deal with than others (lol yes. it’s . not easy. why. do i have to be born like this. always been. hell..).

There is also research to suggest that highly sociable people have more connections between regions of the brain that involve visual stimulus and regions that process social and emotional stimuli. (brains are better, we get it)

Sociability might also be associated with the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is linked to reward-seeking behavior. It is thought that people who are highly sociable may have an enhanced response to dopamine in the brain, which makes them pursue rewards such as attention, status, power or pleasure. This would explain why, when they get these things, they feel happier or more satisfied.

If they did they would have a much different opinion. Just ask a successful market maker what he or she thinks about options. Market makers that I follow know a lot of ways to make extra money. They are going to tell a completely different story. Options reduce risk and maximize profits if traded correctly. In this page I will show you some of my favorite strategies that put me on the winning side. The side where I have the mathematical advantage. Positive time decay means that every day that passes option premiums decay or erode. In other words if stock xyz is trading at $20 today and the $20 call is trading at $1. 95 then a day later all other things being equal that option will be trading for less than $1. 95 because there is less time for it to be worth something.

95 then a day later all other things being equal that option will be trading for less than $1. 95 because there is less time for it to be worth something. There are a few important parts to my overall trading plan. 1. Price and plan for entering2. Choosing the correct strategy3. Plan for exiting the trade4. Position SizeAll four of these pieces to the puzzle are very important. The one I will focus on now is choosing the correct strategy. The following are my favorite defined risk option spreads. � Verticals� Calendars� Butterflies� Iron Condors� DiagonalsWhen I was looking for ways to make extra money I began trading. The problem I had as a beginner with my trading was I learned all of these strategies and started trading them but I didn't have a plan for exiting and managing the positions. That part is just as important as the actual strategy. For example, one of the strategies I began trading to make extra money is called a bull put spread. The trade is made on a stock you think is going to go up. I would collect $2. 00 on a $5. 00 wide spread. Then I would simply put it on and let it on and let it go with no exit plan. I wanted to find ways to make extra money but I was losing $3. 00 on my losing trades using this strategy with no plan.

No, this is not when you should simply fund an options account and start trading with real money.

what is the best options trading course Kansas As with most subjects, mastering the fundamentals of options trading is the best starting point.

Single contract real options trading training allows you to experience the real emotional stress of trading real money and also allows you to get familiarized with using real money interface while risking only a small, limited amount of money. Such single contract real options trading practice is critical due to the fact that most beginners make their first losses through execution mistakes such as clicking on a wrong link, using a wrong order or placing an advanced order wrongly. Such unnecessary losses can be significant if a lot of money is committed right from the start and its impact on trading confidence cannot be undermined. Trading only single options contracts may be inefficient in terms of commissions for some options brokers but it allows such mistakes to be made with relatively low level of pain on your capital. As such, it is recommended for a beginner options trader at this stage to keep trading only single contract until no more executional mistakes are made moving on to the next step. Step 4: All Out Options TradingAll out trading is when you are truly ready to make options trading a true source of additional income or income replacement. This is when you will commit significant amounts of money in order to produce a meaningful profit trading options. However, coming out of single contract real trading, one should not immediately commit all the money one can muster all at once. Emotional stress increases as capital involved increases. Indeed, an options trader who can handle trading thousands of dollars may not have the emotional strength to handle trading hundreds of thousands and such a surge in emotional stress usually lead to dire consequences. It is again just like learning to swim; you don't jump straight into the deepest end by rather move deeper gradually as your confidence and competence increases.

This is a function which allows you to practice options trading using real prices with identical trading interface but using fake money rather than real ones.

best options trading platforms Kansas Trading options is the one that can really change your life.

You need to find stocks that you can anticipate direction through various technical analysis strategies. Than simply make trades that follow your guidelines and rules. Successful traders that are consistently making money fast no matter what direction the market is going all have one thing in common. They know how to control risk. They know how to cut losses short and let profits run. Most importantly they will succeed in the future trading because they have a strategic trading plan that gives them an edge. For example, If a trader is right 40% of the time but on his winning trades he makes twice as much as what he loses on his losing trades. Will this trader make money?Let's say he's risking $200 per trade. Over the course of 100 trades he will lose 60 of them and win 40. He will make $16,000 on all of his winners and lose $12,000 on his losers for a net positive $4,000. The purpose of this example is to introduce why a plan is so important. If you want to make money fast you first need to control risk. Once you learn strategies on when to enter and exit, which option or stock to buy, and how much to risk per trade, you can simply trade your plan which is bound to succeed over time because it has a mathematical edge!In Conclusion, I hope this information helped you in understanding that options trading done correctly can be extremely profitable.

Arya Stark and Black Swan

(I don't know who the picture belongs to, I found it a long time ago.)

Hello/Selam,

In fact, as you know, Arya is one of the biggest five of GRRM. She has a key role in the books. The problem is that it's hard to predict exactly what this role is. I've been trying to piece together her puzzle pieces for years. The result I have achieved so far; Arya is on the side of the ice in the Battle of Ice and Fire alongside FM / Great Other ... Most people see this story as a classic good-bad battle, but I don't. The reason I think so is GRRM's statements.

Men are still capable of great heroism. But I don’t necessarily think there are heroes. That’s something that’s very much in my books: I believe in great characters. We’re all capable of doing great things, and of doing bad things. We have the angels and the demons inside of us, and our lives are a succession of choices…[Woodrow Wilson] was a racist who tried to end war. Now, does one cancel out the other? Well, they don’t cancel out the other. You can’t make him a hero or a villain. He was both. And we’re all both. - GRRM

...

Much as I admire Tolkien, and I do admire Tolkien — he’s been a huge influence on me, and his Lord of the Rings is the mountain that leans over every other fantasy written since and shaped all of modern fantasy — there are things about it, the whole concept of the Dark Lord, and good guys battling bad guys, Good versus Evil, while brilliantly handled in Tolkien, in the hands of many Tolkien successors, it has become kind of a cartoon. We don’t need any more Dark Lords, we don’t need any more, “Here are the good guys, they’re in white, there are the bad guys, they’re in black. And also, they’re really ugly, the bad guys.” - GRRM

So I don't see the side of ice and fire pure good and pure bad. They're both. Just like the Stark and Lannister war. So I don't see any problem putting Arya on the ice. After all, she's a Stark, and the Stark family is portrayed as "ice."

Lets continue.

The post was created using multiple topics(I combined them.): u/DutchArya 's https://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/146440-arya-the-singing-bird-stark/ post and u/Arya1100's https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/7vw332/spoilers_extended_black_swans_and_arya_stark_an/ post.

It's an old theory(of theirs), but it's been a year or so. I wanted to resurrect. I just added a few things. And I commented in my own words.

Black Swan Theory

The black swan theory or theory of black swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often inappropriately rationalized after the fact with the benefit of hindsight**.** The term is based on an ancient saying that presumed black swans did not exist – a saying that became reinterpreted to teach a different lesson after black swans were discovered in the wild.

The theory was developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb to explain:

The disproportionate role of high-profile, hard-to-predict, and rare events that are beyond the realm of normal expectations in history, science, finance, and technology.

The non-computability of the probability of the consequential rare events using scientific methods (owing to the very nature of small probabilities).

The psychological biases that blind people, both individually and collectively, to uncertainty and to a rare event's massive role in historical affairs.

Unlike the earlier and broader "black swan problem" in philosophy (i.e. the problem of induction), Taleb's "black swan theory" refers only to unexpected events of large magnitude and consequence and their dominant role in history. Such events, considered extreme outliers**, collectively play vastly larger roles than regular occurrences:**xxi More technically, in the scientific monograph 'Silent Risk', Taleb mathematically defines the black swan problem as "stemming from the use of degenerate metaprobability" - From wikizeroo.org

Black Swan in summary = A term used to refer to an unexpectedly large event, effect, event.

Arya Stark is thought to have a connection with the Black Swan... This is both a “theory i'm issue I mentioned above and a kind of ugly duckling that turns into a beautiful swan.

Black Swan

Arya felt as though the lake were calling her. She wanted to leap into those placid blue waters, to feel clean again, to swim and splash and bask in the sun. But she dare not take off her clothes where the others could see...

From up here, she could see a small wooded island off to the northeast. Thirty yards from shore, three black swans were gliding over the water, so serene . . . no one had told them that war had come, and they cared nothing for burning towns and butchered men. She stared at them with yearning. Part of her wanted to be a swan the other part wanted to eat one. - (Arya, A Clash of Kings)

The important thing in this quote is that he sees “3 BLACK SWAN as I mentioned above. In fact, the Europeans did not know Black Swan until the 1697s, and I think that this is the basis of the theory that I mentioned first. So, in essence, these animals are a very rare species. Considering that the ASOIAF universe is a kind of a different version of Europe... In other words, the author added a “black swan" instead of the common white swan.

In the next book (book 3) Arya meets some of the Brotherhood and Lady Ravella Smallwood. She treats Arya well, washes and dresses her.

It was even worse than before; Lady Smallwood insisted that Arya take another bath, and cut and comb her hair besides; the dress she put her in this time was sort of lilac-colored, and decorated with little baby pearls. The only good thing about it was that it was so delicate that no one could expect her to ride in it. So the next morning as they broke their fast, Lady Smallwood gave her breeches, belt, and tunic to wear, and a brown doeskin jerkin dotted with iron studs. "They were my son's things," she said. "He died when he was seven."

"I'm sorry, my lady." Arya suddenly felt bad for her, and ashamed. "I'm sorry I tore the acorn dress too. It was pretty."

"Yes, child. And so are you. Be brave."

This woman from House Swan. Their sigil is so interesting 

Battling swans black and white and so is the House of Black and White and that is where Arya is being reborn at every dark moon.

In the books Black and White was often touted as the struggle for darkness and light; therefore, we may interpret the question of swans as the struggle between dark and light parts of Arya or some kind of foreshadowing, which expresses an "enemy" in the future. In another comment 3 black swans; 3 can not be predicted to affect the story, may also express the great effect.

Water Dance

Arya stands on her toes, on one leg. This is indeed reminiscent of ballet. Ballet dancers learn to stand upright, on the tip of their toes, often on one leg. It's explicitly linked to the water dancing. So, "water dancing" = "ballet" and Swan Lake is a ballet that also has narrative similarities to Arya's story.

Ned stopped and looked at her. "Arya, what are you doing?"

"Syrio says a water dancer can stand on one toe for hours." Her hands flailed at the air to steady herself.

Ned had to smile. "Which toe?" he teased.

"Any toe." - (Eddard V, aGoT)

Later on, Arya wishes she could dance on water. This is what the Swan ballet dancers do!

Skinny as they were, her legs were strong and springy and growing longer every day. She was glad of that. A water dancer needs good legs. Blind Beth was no water dancer, but she would not be Beth forever. - The Blind Girl, ADWD

...

She was not far from the Gate as the crows flies, but for girls with feet instead of wings, the way was longer. - Mercy, Winds

Ugly Duck and Beautiful Swan

You all know the story of the ugly duckling. The swan, which started life as an ugly duck, is considered by all to be ugly and excluded. But one day something happens that when the ugly duck grows up, it turns into a beautiful swan and amazes everyone.

Readers think that the swan motif is also one aspect of it, which I'm sure everyone who reads the books carefully noticed it.

Arya considered herself ugly from the very beginning, and Sansa and Jeyne mocked her long face and subjected them to “Horse-faced” insults. According to Arya, her mother told her; if she wore beautiful dresses like Sansa and combed her hair, she could have been as beautiful as her sister.

But Jon and Ned always said she was beautiful; his father stated that she resembled his sister Lyanna, who is said to be a very beautiful girl. On the other hand, as she grew up during her adventure (such as Lady Smallwood), some began to emphasize that she was “beautiful.. For example, we have recently seen The Gentle Man said to her face is beautiful.

There is also a reference link to the swan and beauty in the series.

Arianne touched the pin that clasped [Balon’s] cloak, with its quarreling swans. “I have always been fond of swans. No other bird is half so beautiful, this side of the Summer Isles.”

“Your peacocks might dispute that,” said Ser Balon.

“They might,” said Arianne, “but peacocks are vain, proud creatures, strutting about in all those gaudy colors. Give me a swan serene in white or beautiful in black.” - The Watcher, ADwD

Thank you for read.
