Through deep narratives, scientific history, and first-principles reasoning, EigenState connects information theory, artificial intelligence, physics, mathematics, robotics, and complex ...

This is a collection of poems by TWH Crosland. While earning some fame as a writer and poet himself, he is today best remembered for the rather shameful role he played in the trial of Oscar Wilde and in the aftermath of the persecution. Nevertheless, his poetry is of interest as an item of the time, in quick, free verse, and with many allusions to historical and social developments. These odes, written in the style of letters, are excellent examples of this. - Summary by Carolin

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (Persian: رباعیات عمر خیام) is the title that Edward Fitz-Gerald gave to his translation of a selection of poems, originally written in Persian and of which there are about a thousand, attributed to Omar Khayyám (1048–1131), a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer. A Persian ruba'i is a two-line stanza with two parts (or hemis-techs) per line, hence the word "Rubáiyát" (derived from the Arabic root word for "four"), meaning "quatrains". The translations that are best known in English are those of about a hundred of the verses by Edward ...

The End of MatterI never needed fame, money, or approval.What I found is far better: coherence.Today I’m depositing two documents on Zenodo. They are the culmination of years of thinking that started from a simple, relentless question: What if reality is not made of things, but of relations?Both are grounded in the non‑associative algebra of octonions. They show that matter, time, energy, dark phenomena, life, death, and consciousness are all configurations of a single Primordial Relational Field, ruled by the Coherence Coefficient.Nothing is truly solid. Nothing is truly separate.The Void...

Along the way we learn about fitness tracking, the history of IQ testing, China's social credit system, Effective Altruism, and how someone should have noticed that Harold Shipman was killing his patients years before they actually did.
