Re: Concepts way out of Context
Now, how do we trace that energy to a point? What if, say, that energy accumulated in one spot? Of course other interactions would take place, but say that there's a net gain of energy for one collection of particles (all of which are interchangeable with other external parts).
To see uneven energy distribution it is enough to introduce the non-uniformity. Take a kettle with boiling water, the water has 100 C on average, however there are some particles that are below and some that have more energy. These particles with more energy when in contact with a different surface (air in the kettle) will vaporize and surge towards the cooler metal contact surfaces where water droplets will form.
What causes that? Or rather, is there a mechanism you can think of that collects resources like that (not assuming free will; the accumulation is a result of simple molecular/electrical/etc. interactions)?
Uneven energy distribution is caused by entropy, or by the fact that your reference frame is a part of a larger system where energy is uneven.
Yada yada, good thoughts here but let's not go this route. If you'd like, talk about this elsewhere, because it really is a good topic.
This is not the usual yada yada.
Chaos Theory is the key to understanding the complexity of the
information input of a system of multiple individuals that we are trying to describe. I recommend that you compare chaos theory to this model and you will see great similarities and connections.
Information entropy, is the measure of the predictability of the information that you receive. This is connected to the chaos theory and the resulting pseudorandom behaviours. In the boiling water system, as in the human interaction system, the complexity and pseudorandom behaviour with
information entropy increase.
Yes. More complexity. In my previous question, you can assume that the adult is the system I'm talking about, but still based solely off those tiny interactions.
The interactions are not tiny, consider that senses gather huge amounts of data.
Human eye has roughly 576 megapixels as this NASA
moon picture.
Your eyes have 24 fps rate, so you take 12 GB of visual information every second.
After 16 hours every day this amounts to 0,5*24*60*60*16=691.2 TB of information that your brain filters and processes.
From this 691 TB your brain selects what is important and what you will later react to or remember.
I don't quite understand this
Look at the links I have provided. N-body problem is present as an obstacle to Newtonian and Classical mechanics, as it is impossible to predict and describe the behaviour of more than two bodies using simple calculus.
In astrophysics and physics, systems of multiple bodies become unsolvable over time as the complexity increases. This is called chaotic behaviour.
Some visual examples to help represent this behaviour:
Choreography means that you have found a stable or semi-stable configuration of multiple bodies that can repeat their interactions in a similar way.
Can you see the obvious and not so obvious relations of this with your idea of reciprocal determinism? I can expand and try to explain it more but I think that first you should experience the idea.
The thing is when the individual acts, there are so many other people it's hard to measure each average reaction and vice versa. If we are surrounded by 100 people, and we try to ignore them, the influence of each one of a hundred goes unnoticed.
Information entropy and chaos, plus filtering of input.
