Sadly my group theory knowledge is rudimentary, and rusty. Probably you could? No idea.
There is a way of understanding all this through group theory. eg: https://arxiv.org/html/2607.20669 'Counting, Symmetries and Equivalence Classes of Sudoku Grids' where an 'equivalence class' is a set of structures…
Interesting. I can replay or simulate other people's voices (real people, obv) and can 'hear' music I know by replaying it in my mind. Of course, not perfectly if I forget the words, it might fill in with some…
Yes, but also viruses do not actually have goals as such - maybe 'replicate' could be their only goal. So a virus _could_ come up with a mutation that kills all its hosts, it just dies out as well in the process. Not…

The first English civil war started in 1642, Charles I was beheaded in 1649 and his son Charles II would not be king in England before 1660 at the restoration. So in 1653, a 'royalist' was against the 'Commonwealth',…
Ok, I suppose I understand but I really do not agree. Modern criticism of the US president is so far removed from medieval criticism of a female monarch as to be nearly irrelevant. To address your question, though, yes…
No idea, but from this handy page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_monarchs it seems like the rest of the world (India, China, Thailand, Egypt, ...) had female monarchs of various sorts ('queen regnant'…
Evidence such as this quote? > an extremely arrogant demeanour instead of the modest gait and bearing proper to the gentle sex That is, the 'Gesta Stephani' is claiming that she should not be arrogant because it is not…
Further, there were specific reasons why Elizabeth I was treated differently to here father. For example, Henry used to meet with counsellors when he woke up in the morning, still in bed. For obvious reasons, this was…
It's a fair question - my concern is 'shallow' analogies. I can best describe this with an anecdote paraphrased from memory from one of Hofstadter's books. He described a piece of AI research (in the 60s?) where they…
> Protein folding and narrative/storytelling have strange homology Hmmmmmm. While I get what you mean, and I don't disagree, please be cautious when making analogies between biological systems and more distant fields.…
Not sure what you mean by "an artistically symmetrical piece observes no mathematical symmetry" - as in, the underlying structure has a (set of) symmetries but the 'decoration' on top is asymmetric?
About a minute and a half.
Thankyou for the correction, and for continuing the analogy. Unfortunately when the peasants get their pitchforks and torches, they may not distinguish the Dr Waldmans from the Dr Frankenteins either. Hopefully they…
But it is the very people who warned us about rogue AIs going out of control that set up a system that enabled and failed to conrol it. It is as if Dr Frankenstein continually warned the villagers about monsters then…

This can be great - Tom from the Yogscast has run a few of these, and they can get pretty wild. It's a simple premise but works well.

Both are fine, but I also prefer 'furnish', as in put in the main parts of your CV. In a way, 'burnish' is more like 'polish', suggesting an extra layer on top, rather than the fundamental parts.
