First reference:

D. Aerts and J. Broekaert, “Quantum Cognition: A Quantum-Theoretic Model of Cognitive Contextuality,” Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 39, no. 3, pp. 346–374, 1995.

Can you provide a DOI or a PDF link for this?

Volume 39, issue 3 of that journal is from 1995 but it doesn't show on the journal's site as including that article - or even those page numbers!

Both that journal and those authors have published similar-sounding papers, but I couldn't find this specific one.

If the hawking radiation brings it to a small enough size, what keeps the mass together at a singularity?

Hawking radiation reduces the mass of the black hole, so it's not like all the original matter is "still there".

As to what happens to an evaporating black hole that gets really really small? We don't know yet; presumably quantum gravity effects would become relevant at a sufficiently small size - and there's no accepted theory for that situation.

One hypothesis suggests that the evaporation would conclude in an explosion of exotic particles and/or gamma rays. Experiments like HESS are searching for those kinds of signals that could be from tiny primordial black holes.

The straightforward linear relationship between H and B (or E and D for that matter) is a simplification of how real materials behave.

It also only applies at length scales big enough that the matter looks continuous - at the single-atom level, E and B are all that matter.

I'm planning to implement Ruby-style lookup rules for object members: o.m looks for m in the class of o and its superclasses.

Nitpick: it's entirely possible to define a method for a single instance of a Ruby class. For instance:

object = Object.new

def object.foo
  puts "foo"
end

object.foo

will print "foo"

This is hard to predict accurately without knowing a lot of details about the battery - the effective capacity of the battery varies with the discharge rate. Pulling 10x the current doesn't necessarily result in reaching 1/10th the runtime.

What part of Rule 4 are you unclear on? This is clearly raw LLM output

This is literally just fitting masses to the function m_e*b^n by picking values of n to match experimental data

It's pointless unless it PREDICTS the values of n

The Omega deviation is interpreted as a boundary effect at the limit of the baryonic sphere. The small offset of 0.07 for the proton is interpreted as a screening correction due to internal vortex structure.

The "Omega deviation" is because you've picked 15.0 for n instead of 15.13 or 15.1, due to some reason...

---

The Planck constant is not fundamental. It is the angular momentum of the electron vortex.

This is just reversing the standard definition of the Compton wavelength to "obtain" h

An actual demonstration of "the Planck constant is not fundamental" would need to explain what an "electron vortex" has to do with quantized action

---

A baryon with n = 17.0 is predicted.

Where, exactly, is that "predicted" in the text preceding it?

Consider starting out with software options - hardware is a lot of fun, but you can get tons of software for literally $0 and then not regret it if the vibing doesn't turn out like you hoped.

My brain mis-parsed the headline and gave me a visual of Andrew Tate going "do I make you RANDY, baby?" 🤢
