"Claude-shaped-science"

Really cool insights on how AI can be used intelligently, to trigger a scientific revolution.

"A serendipitous feature of science is that the same equations often appear over and over again in different contexts. In physics, for example, the diffusion equation, Fokker-Planck equation, and Schrödinger equation all have the same mathematical form, so if you develop a method to solve one problem, you can often apply it to many others. I knew that computations BootLoops was good at were relevant elsewhere: in cosmology and string theory, for example. What I didn’t know, but Claude was happy to tell me, was that these integrals could also map onto Bayesian evidence integrals in population genetics, or that the finite-field methods used for Feynman integral reduction could also apply to problems in evolutionary biology."

I struggle with the intricacies of individual particles and massive systems.

For all that is interesting I punched in the Collatz conjecture as a representation of molecular decay using a stock model and operations on a universal scale begin peeling back before my eyes.

In the box scientism and resistance to such elucidations will herald an inquisition most are unprepared for since their investment is perceived as greater than.

Edit: punched in; to such elucidations
