@AliceInAHole @QiaochuYuan phew! I am sick of separating art from artists, thank you for giving me this.

Barandes has published about the gauge transformations available in pilot wave theories, basically saying that the trajectories while continuous, are not definite... I assume he is thinking about what ISP + continuity looks like

[Jarvis 🐛 @SpiveeWorks]

Listened to Barandes and Maudlin discuss it, and they didn't get to the point of realizing that their theories both discussed the same set of objects. Wave functions, trajectories, and probability distributions.

That said I am realizing there is one thing not covered by Barandes

hmm indivisible stochastic processes and Bohmian mechanics seem to rhyme with each other pretty closely...

Namely the way that both track a complex wave function in configuration space, alongside an individual point in that same configuration space, satisfying the Born rule.

[Jarvis 🐛 @SpiveeWorks]

The local analysis would look at how an individual trajectory is constrained by the stochastic process, and inferring conditional probabilities or constraints on those conditional probabilities from the locality constraint. I have no idea if this is possible or useful.

Movie set in the Cambrian period where nothing happens because it’s set on land. No animals, no plants, no trees, no sound but the lonely wind wandering over endless gravel. Occasionally the words “Ten million years later” appear on screen, but nothing changes.

Non-Bohmian physicists love letting their audiences make the assumption that because Bohmian mechanics is limited, that Bohmians must be totally misguided... This is because otherwise you might listen to a Bohmian yourself, and realize they are on another level altogether.

I was wondering if there is a special relativity version of Maxwell's electromagnetism, but duh, there is... It's called special relativity.

@ArtemisConsort Aristotle speaks of this

[Jarvis 🐛 @SpiveeWorks]

"Why don't you make some predictions, like Einstein, or Dirac?" the scientific community says, exemplifying the exact social attitudes that alienated Einstein and Dirac from their peers a century ago.

Recently someone I know that spends a lot of time reading things like the New Yorker op eds told me "if it isn't true, then why are all these news agencies reporting it? are they just lying?"

If you think you don’t have metaphysical beliefs, it almost always means your beliefs are so unexamined and dogmatic that you don’t even realise you have them.

This is especially true of secular, humanist materialists who tend towards thinking their secular, humanist materialist views are somehow the default rather than being articles of deep, often unexamined faith.

@goblinodds The solution to these edge cases is meant to be cultural, not legal. The internet does erode the ability of culture to push back, though... Not to mention creeping legislature having cannibalized culture anyway.
