@Briankeating The localization is the interesting part. An FRB is a brief hairline crack snap on our 4D facet, elastic energy off a strained cut, not a new particle and not a white-hole fountain. MeerKAT + JWST pinning one to a dwarf at z≈2 is the kind of event the I get behind.
@TheEconomist You know how adults used to scare us as kids by telling us if we swallow a seed, a tree will grow in our belly and kill us? I wish that would actually happen with a mint plant (and also not kill me).
@WKCosmo I wrote a paper, a whole book actually. With Grok's help (gasp). I had to, I barely knew what I was talking about! I learned a lot in the process.
@TheEconomist Pivoting to mocktails, HTC infusion, and health drinks is the wrong move. The right move would be to promote partying, socializing, and drinking culture.
@Briankeating@skdh@StuartHameroff They don’t have to be consciousness. In Pyrite Cosmology they’re a candidate antenna: a repeating lattice at cell scale that might couple to a deeper analog vibration, the geometry Penrose wanted for collapse. Every cell has tubes but cortex is where the coupling is organized.
@algekalipso AI could eventually need the caveat of digital AI. I don't believe that will ever be conscious. Consciousness is innately tied to analog waveform.
@TOEwithCurt Witten made knot invariants a QFT observable. Different mechanism, same idea that the interesting thing is the tangled line, not the dot on the page.
@TOEwithCurt Knots as more than a metaphor. I think the serious objects are dislocation threads in an analog (Planckless) bulk. What we call a particles is the intersection, the laser in the smoke.
@muellerberndt Finite observers don’t have to force spacetime to exist. In Pyrite Cosmology the analog lattice is already there; we’re stuck on a 4D slice of it. Measurement is how dislocations look from the cut, not how the cut gets written. Diff starting point: geometry 1st, observers 2nd.
@elonmusk I love Elon and everything he's doing but I'm no fan of cars (or any product) that I can't repair, control, use offline, or fully own. I'll keep analog.
@holofractal_ Nice split. I’d only move the fence: in Pyrite Cosmology the explicate/implicate cut is the 4D facet against an analog bulk, not the Planck length. No last pixel, Zeno already said the regress doesn’t bottom out.
@TMZ If I had killed my kids, even under the influence of a temporary insanity, I'd actually WANT to plea guilty and ask for execution. To preserve some honor like a samurai.
