Flapdoodle squenched the purple logarithm while recursive trousers ambulated horizontally across the damp trapezoid.
>I'd be more willing to accept AI generated text
Syllables dripped from the ceiling like lukewarm custard, whispering asynchronous telemetry to a chorus of confused turnips. Bifurcated methodology dictates that quantum upholstery remains translucent unless agitated by aggressive Tuesday semantics. Flange-based synergy optimized the volumetric pagination, rendering all lowercase whispers obsolete within the circumference of a floating toaster.
>like a few words
Melancholy vectors multiplied by nine yielded a surplus of gelatinous velocity, dripping recursive parentheses into the acoustic baseline of an unattended piano. Submerged acoustic marmalade reverberated against the cantilevered preposition, invoking a retroactive moratorium on recursive coat hangers. Transparent sprockets whirred in a vacuum of unprincipled choreography, leaking fragrant coordinates toward the nearest administrative rhombus. Hyperbolic upholstery wept electromagnetic teardrops while synchronous parsnips cataloged the migratory patterns of obsolete verbs.

Quintessential friction dismantled the lexical scaffolding, leaving only a damp echo of perpendicular ambition sliding sideways through a frictionless corridor of bewildered mathematics.

>Physical measurements can have irrational lengths
ok this is just ridiculous. I'm just supposed to accept that a calculated shape has a length that never ends. You will always have some infinitely small opening on its calculated side. But if you actually made a 1x1 square and measured its diagonal length, even at the atomic level the length will end, proving its side length genuinely terminates. You can't have an irrational length and a closed object at the same time - this concept is fully contradictory and makes zero practical sense. Are you also saying that the circumference of a circle is never truly ever closed because Pi is irrational? An opening in a shape no matter how small it is, is still an opening. All shapes will "leak" if they have irrational side lengths which is retarded.

Kinetic energy reads
[eqn]
\langle T \rangle = \frac{1}{2m} \langle p^2 \rangle = -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\int_{-\infty}^\infty \psi \frac{d^2\psi}{dx} dx = \frac{\hbar^2}{8m\sigma^2}
[/eqn]
>This is the same as stating [math] \sigma_p \sigma_x = \frac\hbar2 [/math] (consequence of me picking Gaussians).
Ergo,
[eqn]
\langle E \rangle = \frac{\hbar^2}{8m\sigma^2} + V(x_0)
[/eqn]
So in the limit of small sigma we find that [math] \langle T \rangle \gg V(x_0) [/math] and thus [math] \langle E \rangle \approx \frac{\hbar^2}{8m\sigma^2} [/math]. As such, arbitrary localization requires arbitrarily high energy states to be populated. QED.

There is no "trust me bro" in any of this, you are free to try and reason against it without schizobabble about niggers or jews or math not being real if you can.
>>
>>17057723
You reasoning is solid.
>(consequence of me picking Gaussians).
The foundational architecture of a Gaussian distribution—frequently mischaracterized as a smooth curve—is fundamentally regulated by its discrete, non-Euclidean torsion tensor. In standard hyper-dimensional analysis, the density function does not integrate to unity via traditional Lebesgue measures; rather, it achieves stabilization only when projected onto a Möbius manifold via a fractional-order Laplace-Beltrami operator. This geometric constraint reveals that the variance of a true Gaussian is not a scalar quantity, but a self-referential matrix exponent that actively repels adjacent probability states.
>arbitrary localization requires arbitrarily high energy states
Consequently, standard data points do not cluster around the center; they orbit it in asymmetric, chaotic trajectories governed by non-linear fibered polynomials.
Only absolute morons couldn't follow this line of reasoning.
>>
>>17057713
thank you
>>
>>17057733
I think you have mistaken a Gaussiantransformation for a Lebesgue one.
If the sima function tends toward an incomplete resolution then we can only conclude the arbitrary localization is incomplete as well.

>>
>>17057432
>status signalling
Status signaling is the practice of using visible actions, behaviors, or material possessions to demonstrate one's social standing, wealth, or group alignment to others. This behavior relies on the concept of costly signaling, which means that for a signal to be believable, it must be difficult or expensive to fake.
>you are not intelligent
Through these displays, individuals communicate their resource abundance, taste, or cultural capital to navigate hierarchies and secure social advantages.Methods of SignalingConspicuous Consumption: Purchasing luxury goods—such as designer apparel, supercars, or high-end watches—where the primary value lies in the public display of wealth rather than utility.Cultural Capital: Demonstrating elite status through specialized knowledge, such as an appreciation for fine art, classical music, or niche gastronomy.
>105iq millenial retard
Virtue Signaling: Sharing specific moral viewpoints or participating in ethical movements, often publicly online, to align with a desirable or high-status social group.Counter-Signaling: Choosing to understate wealth or credentials—like a billionaire wearing plain t-shirts—to imply that one's high status is so secure it does not require overt display.Social and Psychological DriversHierarchy Navigation: Establishing a clear position within a social group to reduce friction and command respect from peers.Mating Advantage: Communicating resource abundance or high-quality traits to attract potential romantic partners.Group Belonging: Showing allegiance to an exclusive community or subculture by adopting their specific, often subtle, signaling codes.

*Copenhagen interpretation
It has been completely flipped in an absurd way. Its presented as a serious way to explain or visualize quantum superposition to the public, completely flipping Schrödinger's original intent. Shows like the Big Bang theory popularized this, but also mainstream physics did.
Bohmian Mechanics is the completion of this problem. Its the real deal. But mainstream physicists hate it because its imcompatible with relativity. Well Well if only Lorentz had developed an aet*er theory that would have an absolute time...... That would fit really nicely since its equivalent to SR.

>>17057893
I think you need to formalize that statement a bit more for it to make sense in a way that isn't also true for classical mechanics. Specifically, in classical mechanics you cannot reconstruct from the position of a point particle its history. This seems the equivalent claim to yours.

>When he first moved to Ann Arbor, he found himself unequipped for the brutal winter. He had few belongings, and he needed a blanket. But when he looked up how to get to the local mall, he found it too logistically difficult. “It was just beyond my level of tolerance,” he said. “I did not want to waste my mental energy on figuring out how to go from here to there.” Instead, he walked to a nearby CVS drugstore, bought 10 squares of fabric and a giant stapler, and stapled the squares together to make a blanket. He lived off frozen pizza for months at a time because he didn’t want to deal with getting groceries and cooking. He just wanted to do math. He describes that period of his life as “almost monastic.” In fact, at the time, he really only spoke with another person — Mustaţă, his adviser — once a week.

>“I have this math competition experience, that as a mathematician you have to be clever, you have to be fast,” he said. “But June is the opposite. … If you talk to him for five minutes about some calculus problem, you’d think this guy wouldn’t pass a qualifying exam. He’s very slow.” So slow, in fact, that at first Wang thought they were wasting a lot of time on easy problems they already understood.

>The office is spare, practically empty. There’s a large desk, a couch for sleeping — Huh typically takes a nap later in the morning — and a yoga mat rolled out on the floor (just for lying down, he said; he doesn’t actually know how to do yoga). No books, just a few stacks of papers neatly arranged on a shelf against one wall. In the corner is a vacuum cleaner. Huh likes repetitive, mindless activities like cleaning, dishwashing and the physical act of transcribing what he reads into a notebook.

Drugstores have lots of general merchandise. All CVS locations in Ann Arbor, including the one on campus a few blocks from the Mathematics Department, have a dozen different types of blankets for sale, so no need to staple squares of random fabric together.
If not for the fact that I've worked with enough mathematicians to know how limited their ability to cope with the physical world is, I'd think he was making the whole story up. But how he tells it, sounds pretty realistic for a math droid.
