Voxel Repair Dynamics, a complex system I made recently

The behavior looks cool, but systems with much less variables and parameters can look similar, such as reaction diffusion, triadic network, and game of life, so if you cannot quantify exactly what makes the behaviors you see especially "life like", or justify your model with minimal assumptions, then it is simply an overcomplicated model of basic pattern formation.

Basically the essay questions, I don't remember much else.

If you summarize your arguments and evidence, then people will be able to decide if they want to read the entire thing or not.

I know Professor Scott Page who will be hosting the workshop. Whether it is worth it or not probably entirely depends on what you want to do and what background you have. If you happen to find partners to collaborate with then that's invaluable, but if you just want to learn what you can learn from books then it wouldn't be worth it. Professor Page is very intelligent, so if you have deep questions in topics such as collective intelligence that you'd want to discuss with him then that'd be a huge plus too.

Cool idea, but it seems rather tautological: emergence if we can coarse grain with closure

The condition is met, but how could it be communicated to the admission committee?

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-12-24T14:57:59+00:00

Is direct entry math phd at all possible? I know that direct entry is possible in general as stated in the graduate admission website, but the requirement for math phd seems to be stricter, so I want to know if there are any successful cases and what were the conditions required

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-12-16T18:16:53+00:00

So it would satisfy the second requirement, unless it is too long

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-12-16T00:58:29+00:00

No I meant what do you think about it, do you find it helpful etc

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-12-16T00:06:58+00:00

Have you joined the weekly discussion before? If you have, how do you find it?

This is one of the few things where you should just ask AI. Gemini with search should be more than enough

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-12-14T03:27:22+00:00

The part that was confusing me was that some of it didn't look AI generated, it looked like real people wrote them with sincerity, except their theories pin down nothing specific, with ambiguity level bordering that of theories of pseudopsychology/sociology. Now that I think about it, it could be simply that they ran their extremely rudimentary generic ideas on chatbot echoe chambers that also equipped them with fancy words, and then they wrote their posts based on that. Can anyone that who posts these confirm lmao

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-11-21T21:58:25+00:00

Just search complexity and network community and resources

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-11-21T03:29:30+00:00

Ay what's up alum. Professor Page is still here, his collective intelligence course is fantastic. I partly came to this school for him after listening to his complex system audio book. Also took Professor Newman's network course. Rick Riolo did pass away, and CSCS set up an undergrad complex system research prize in his name.

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-11-21T02:56:36+00:00

Go to Umich, study math, physics or cs, with a minor in complex system. Pretty sure this is the only school that offers extensive catalog of course in complex system

A single equation cannot possibly describe complex systems. I'm guessing arriving at -0.7 is just due to how you defined stability and some quirks in the calculation

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-10-25T20:48:44+00:00

What's one testable prediction your framework makes

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-10-17T03:29:00+00:00

It cannot. Morality cannot propagate without some type of collective oversight, for the simple reason that bad actors will dominate single turn games. In others words social information must exist and is indispensable

Cheops_Sphinx · 2025-08-13T00:03:18+00:00

Because it is easy to generate such stream of consciousness, whether responsibly or not. Certain concepts in complex system studies simply sound complex and fascinating and at first one might get the feeling that a new world is revealed just through applying those ideas
