I have decided to do Applied Ecology MSc.

And if anyone asks how I decided on ecology, I have no idea how to explain in a way that doesn't sound... Convulated. How do you draw together a childhood of wanting to do life sciences (marine biology, veterinary surgeon, zoology were the future careers I cycled through, plus terraformer -- I have no idea why people decided to get me books on physics and maths, being good at them doesn't mean I have interest), trying to explain how my mind works and difficulties figuring out what to do by comparing myself to an ecologist in a place that's only interested in loggers and doesn't want to hear about how cutting the trees down will affect the river and the soil, spending a couple of hours on a farm (sheep and cows), a desire to reforest Britain, an interest in a resilient and humane food supply, Tiffany Aching, and Doric the Druid. How do you pull all that together into an explanation that can be explained within a single hour. How.

#ecology #master's degree #i like trees #honestly that bit at the start of #the druids call #where she's trying to hunt but her talents just do not work that way #and she needs to go away and do something that actually fits who she is #yeah #that part #just give me a shepherds hut and let me plant a forest please #i was born for the life sciences not the math sciences #though im still going to try and get an #erdos number

The phrase "two Bacons away from a bunch of raging transphobes" keeps cropping up in my discussions of my current main fandom which is both hilarious and concerning but seeing as I am safely not two Bacons away from raging transphobes, I feel like I can make this funny comment.

I may have mentioned this before, but... I might be one of the few people in the world with a finite Erdos-Bacon-Sabbath number?

Refresher for those who don't know: an actor's Bacon number is the number of connections it takes to get from them to Kevin Bacon, by movies they appeared in. In the math world, Erdos number is the same, but with coauthorship and starting with Paul Erdos (there should be a double accent over that o but I can't find it on mobile) and in music, the Sabbath number is the same, with co-produced music and linking back to Black Sabbath.

The Erdos-Bacon-Sabbath number is the sum of these three for any particular person. Since by definition the number of anyone who is not attached to Erdos (respectively Bacon or Sabbath) is infinite, the EBS number is infinite for anyone who cannot link themselves by academic papers to Paul Erdos AND musically to Black Sabbath AND cinematographically to Kevin Bacon.

Ok, so, my Erdos number is three, that's the easiest one. One of my dissertation committee published with Chris Godsil who published with Erdos. Cut and dry. (I had a shot at two in my undergrad but I blew it)

Bacon number I'm unsure of. When I was a kid I acted in a few commercials -- one of them was with a BUNCH of other child actors, at least ten. It seems pretty reasonable to me that at least one of them links into the Bacon graph somewhere. The average Bacon number of an actor is 2.9, so let's be a bit conservative and say my bacon number is probably around 5.

Sabbath is tricky as well. I perform in a trans choir, and a bunch of the other people in my choir are very musical. I know some of them release music, in fact. My best guess is that if I do link to the Sabbath graph somewhere it's through @fluffy-critter (hi!) and I'll have to ask them sometime if they know. No clue if this one even counts, and there's no info on average Sabbath numbers out there, so I'm gonna take a wild and very conservative swing and say that if my Sabbath number exists it's probably around 6.

That gives me an estimated EBS number of fourteen. Pretty high... but it's pretty uncommon to even have a finite one, so I'll count that as a win.

what the fuck, i'm going to stage a two man play with him in which we co-author a paper, he's got an erdos number of like 4 or 5 and a bacon number of 2 wtf

[nineherbscharm]

i have a kevin bacon number and an erdos number of 2, through the same person

I have an actor friend and a medical student friend who has done a PhD in... Biochemistry?

I wonder if they have a Bacon or Erdos number yet, respectively.

(Going to befriend film directors in the hopes of being an extra/making a cameo. I want an Erdos-Bacon number, of six or less.)

Not to brag, but one of my professors had an Erdos number of 1.

Paul Erdos: Why are numbers beautiful?

“Why are numbers beautiful? It’s like asking why is Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony beautiful. If you don’t see why, someone can’t tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren’t beautiful, nothing is.” —Paul Erdos.

Strange reversal, appropriate measure on 2 Nov 2023. I looked at the open tab for pseudorandom graphs, which led me to Erdos-Rényi graphs, which led me to percolation theory, and thus to Kolmogorov’s zero-one law, which easily translated into 0-1-0. Rather than chasing threads of not understanding, looking for something to grab which might be used to pull apart the confusion, I’m following paths of understanding to their roots. The 1-0-1//0-1-0 counting is a root, is Irreducible both at a location, at a 1 or 0 and over certain chains, meaning prime chains. As in, 1-0-1-0-1 is 5 and thus 1-0-1-0-1-0 splits to 1-0 and to 1-0-1 and 0-1-0, while you see that is not true with 5. Look at 9: 1-0-1-0-1-0-1-0-1 splits into 1-0-1 twice and 0-1-0, which has the effect then of being a 1-0-1 of the smaller forms. Not prime.

The idea behind this is like the twin prime conjecture. You can see the form: 1-0-1 and 0-1-0 define a twin prime, so that form must exist, must exist in potential and since the counting is infinite then it must exist in counting, so therefore it must be an infinite count of twin primes as well because that’s one of the gs prime forms. All those conditions hold. Or you can say: twin primes are the result of 1-0-1//0-1-0 , and thus reflect fundamental structure. That is the importance of the conjecture, which we’ve proven true. To believe otherwise means you insert some reason why the form doesn’t hold after some n count, which is the same as saying the process halts when that requires an intervention into the process for that to happen, some additional reason why 1-0-1//0-1-0 takes on different values. That’s a contradiction because all values are calculated using this simple method of 1 and 0 where we count the places. Note that what’s required is that we start counting: the label doesn’t matter as long as we count in Alternation. Why Alternation? Because we’re simply counting 1-0Segments like we’re going back and forth on one. It also turns into a Greek key scroll in which one step is 1 and the other 0 so it goes up and down counting sideways by the same unit 1, meaning in xK, as yK varies 1 and 0.

You can then see 1 and 0 as Between along an axis which counts probability at and above or below the midline, the 50:50 line which translates into fCM from Triangular as Triangular over gs. That generates the 1 and 0 law: it takes iteration and segments that over the 0 to 1 space. That connects the structures, the contexts, etc. to the statistics.

So this version of counting, and the way it generates gs primes, is the counting back and forth of a 1-0Segment. You can thus see why a counting can be equivalent to a 1: it’s the identification of the number of states, to the existence of those states in that count, as being that same 1-0-1//0-1-0 where you can flip the labels and the result is still that this is the one form in both cases. That is primal 2:1, which is essential Triangular.

You have to admit that is lovely mathematics. Been up since 4AM and it’s now 5:30. The cat went back to sleep. I have a few more notes.

You can extend the work done yesterday to any rational. It just takes building in both directions. Take something really basic like root3/2. Then we have a 3Square over a 2Square and we treat the szK as the dividing line. That means we can invert to root2/3, even though that generates a different result. That’s 0Space: the result is what it is, while the inversion potential is 1Space. You can see the inversion in gs: if we take 3/2, then we have that rectangle in each direction, and we thus can compare like with rulers and compasses and the like, meaning we can construct because we can see that 2 fits into 3 this many times just by laying one down on top of the other.

This also fits to pigeonhole, of course, since that is a direct representation of I//I: holes and objects, 1’s and 0’s or other way round. We can see this in a count as basic as 1-0-1-0-1 or 5. We can fold this at the 1, if we can fold the 1. If not, then we generate 2 halves and an extra. The halves are 1-0 and 0-1, which means they can be matched as 1-0 and 0-1 if you put either in front of the other, meaning you construct a second count, the other chain or Extent, behind the first, so you have a 1-0-1 line running in front of or behind a 0-1-0 count. In other words, if you’re cooking pigeons, you may be able to cut one in half to split the number of boxes among the birds. Otherwise no because that bird embodies the Kolmogorov zero-one law we generate and explain.

This means a rational has another level of calculation. I mean that there are 2 orientations in a 3Square made by shifting root2 to a side so the 3Square appears orthogonal to the hypotenuse of that rectangle. And there are 2 of those counts in a rational, so we have that tree relationship. What if we write a 3Square as a 3/1Square? That enables the 1/3Square, though the result is different, same as above. And the orientation flips of xK with yK make the exact same picture: you just need to look at the hypotenuse at the count you’re at as being the side of the count that’s next, and vice versa with the side being the earlier hypotenuse.

Note this is another example of the shift when you notice something: you see it as a pairing, meaning a 1-0Segment, and when you shift to look it’s like you’re now in the game and that shifts you the view across the fD, across the hypotenuse. This connects directly to how logic forms and thus how logical arguments form chains and how things can be analyzed to their forms. It’s hard to express but when you shift to being the player, to being on stage, to being the character, then it becomes something like the Kipling poem If because now the context which you could ignore or minimize becomes the context you can’t ignore or minimize. This is the mathematics behind the criticism we developed of policy planning at the government or corporate level not fitting the ground facts except in idealized manners which count great as long as you aren’t actually in the game. You don’t have to approach the actual ground for the counting at that level to be way too idealized to work. One way that expresses is failure to gain traction because you’re essentially spinning your wheels, meaning you’re isolated from the system you’re trying to reach, which gets back to the Kolmogorov thing again.

I like mixing metaphors. So do you. Their usage here reflects that this ‘flyover’ mentality is equivalent to mixing metaphors: you need to select which attributes of each metaphor connect to make the chain which fits the policy and its intentions, and that becomes more and more unlikely.

What about algebraics? Well, we’re generating to the szK. That’s what counts the 1’s and 0’s as places or labels. So when we draw those rectangles like for an integer, then we combine at that level. If we have a rational with more calculation than 1 into n (and thus n into 1), then we see those levels appear, each being a chain built out of and down to the root2 of the 1Square which is a grid square. And when we create something more elaborate like some x to the n and some root, then we can build that process too so it Injects as well. That Injection maps the pole to the szK count or counts because we are using variables.

Then remember we defined a transcendental number as those which are pure 1Space and those which are mixed 1Space and 0Space calculations. Maybe get deeper in that if we can. Look at root2: how would you say it is formed knowing it’s label? It’s irrational because it’s gs process constructing a value which reads at the Bip, so when it reads at any End, any gs corner End, then that becomes the Bip in the gs(m) layer to that End’s gs(n).

That constructed End connects to algebraics, meaning we extend to roots of polynomials. Roots because those are the base count of that number form, of the values generated by that polynomial, and thus where they lie on the big segment across the big 1Square of the enclosing gs frame. Transcendentals beyond that generate values too, because they’re forms too.

It’s now just after 6AM and I need some sleep.
