Slovenian cave salamanders, anyone?

If it weren’t for it being the featured article, I’m not sure I would have ever found it.

Copenhagen interpretation – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many physicists and philosophers have objected to the Copenhagen interpretation, both on the grounds that it is non-deterministic and that it includes an undefined measurement process that converts probability functions into non-probabilistic measurements. Einstein’s quotations “God does not play dice” and “Do you really think the moon isn’t there if you aren’t looking at it?” exemplify this. Bohr, in response, said “Einstein, don’t tell God what to do”.

Today’s train of thought started with the functional resource economies from Raph’s Website, led me to thinking about dynamic systems and eventually to quantum mechanics (as stochasticness is a necessary pet project for probabilists) and to this rather interesting quotation, regardless of its veracity.

Anyway. Read the 3 posts on Raph’s website and help me brainstorm some system to implement to pass the time. Studying some bifurcation maps would be much more interesting provided one knew it were modelling “units of goodness” and the current exchange rate for “Nick’s mom” or what have you.

[Kevin edit]: Oh the idea was to potentially add some stochastic perturbation and incorporate it into some kind of widget to check in on occasionally. Oh man, I clearly got a kick out of all the maxis games as a kid. Well not SimFarm. I mean wtf. SimFarm?

Four-character idiom – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

起(ki)

“Start, Continue, Change, Conclusion”

Usage/Moral: This is the simplest way to make a story or a poem.

So true. Actually if anyone has other resources for these in either Chinese or Japanese, post links.
