telic Thoughts is now interesting / educational, due to this new cat, 'Reciprocating Bill', who is posting there:

I can think of lots of problems with dualism.

I like the knot analogy. It would also suit the UD arguments about information existing outside of a medium and having zero weight etc.

Isn't that a typo. Don't you mean "not-analogy" like analogy with notpology?

Sorry, I had a late night...

I'll get me coat!

No - read Bill's (Excellent) post on Buckminster Fuller's knot analogy.

I did. Excellent, yes! But not aimed at me. Knot being a dualist I don't knot need no steenking knot-analogy.

I'll go quietly now!

Guts gets battered by the true scientists in the room.

First, ID Git leads with a couple quick jabs:
 
Quote
Are these lineage specific insertions design differences, evolutionary differences or blind watchmaker diffferences?

Would baraminology, in which chimps and humans don't share a common ancestor but do share a common design, also "actually explain those differences"?

Then Bung lands the haymaker:
 
Quote
Would tiny green monkeys jumping around in human dna proove the hypothesis?

Ouch!  There is no answering the ID Git, but tiny green monkeys?  Zing!  At first, I thought it was setting up for a good tard fight - but it was just a bloodbath.  Guts showed up alone to a tard team match and I doubt he'll have the stomach to get back in the ring.  Expect instead for some bowing to design or some hasty new topics to push it off the first page.

(Hey Guts, they're just a little testy and defending YEC is low hanging fruit.  You could get back in their good graces, or at least get them to ease up on you, if you would pop over to UD and show them how to calculate CSI.)

aiguy: The references I produced are sufficient to back up my point: simple agents following fixed rules give rise to complex designs and problem-solving behaviors. If you have other references that contradict that point, it behooves you to produce the citation.

Quote
Guts: Where stigermy comes in the little big bang is the Daubing reflex, but the little big bang is more than just the Daubing reflex. "Stigermy alone is not sufficient for the little big bang, though." The extended organism: the physiology of animal-built structures By J. Scott Turner p. 189

That doesn't support Guts' position. If you read the text, there is a 2nd simple interaction. The termites send out a chemical alert of a breach to the mound. (Soldiers may use vibratory alerts.) Though slower than the local action of stigmergy, each termite amplifies the chemical alert until large numbers of termites are involved — a swarm. In other words, "simple agents following fixed rules give rise to complex designs and problem-solving behaviors."

As aiguy certainly knows, this sort of emergent complexity is easy to simulate. Of course, that isn't necessary to his point. It's enough to show that mound-building itself, certainly a complex structure, is due to following simple fixed rules by the individual agents.

Aiguy has done a good job of making his point. The discussion of dogs is pretty interesting. (The following comments are snipped out of context, but give the general idea.)

Quote
aiguy: As for dogs, they obviously abstract (e.g. they form an abstraction of "doggy door", and they can identify instances of this abstraction despite significant differences in shape, size, construction, materials, placement etc.)

Quote
fifth monarchy man: It's almost as if you determine an animal to be intellegent by what it does.

Heh.

Quote
fifth monarchy man: The issue is that you claim that you only want a clear definition of intelligence yet demonstrate that what you really want is to put it to the fundies.

Fifth monarchy man is becoming somewhat frustrated, but his comment demonstrates he understands people as little as he understands dogs. Aiguy is obviously interested in the nature of intelligence, and has thought about it in some detail, and is aware of many of the pitfalls that fifth monarchy man is falling into.

# Techne Says:
April 13th, 2011 at 11:12 am

Hello olegt,

What do you think is the relationship between time and change (change as in stuff changing position or from one thing to another etc.)?

A) Time exist as a result of change. Time is an intellectual abstraction and a mathematical expression to quantify change. Without change there is no time sort of like without mass there is no gravity.
Or…
B) Time exists as some distinct entity or dimension that is different or distinct from the process of change. Time exist as a dimension irrespective of whether there are things that are changing or not.

Comment by Techne — April 13, 2011 @ 11:12 am


I freely admit that I have difficulty visualizing the concept of relativity. I get the gist, but have difficulty when it gets down to the nitty-gritty as it were.

As such, while I know that time becomes a "real" dimension in relativity, I don't fully understand why and still wonder, as Techne does in question a, why time can't be an illusionary product of change. Can one of you folks elaborate on that?

Keep in mind that my science background is really ecology and some biology. While I took some physics and get it to some extent, it isn't my strong suit. So if you can "dummify" the explanation, that would be most appreciated.  :D

My take on that is that time and change are interdependent on each other. Change just means that relative positions along spatial dimensions can be different for different positions on the time dimension, so the two concepts can't be meaningfully separated.

As for special relativity, I figure that if forces are carried by something that travels along a wavefront, then if an object is moving, those waves have to spend part of their time just keeping up with the object, so it takes longer for forces internal to the object to do whatever it is they're doing. From there, length contraction and time dilation follow from the math.

I can't help much, but perception of time is done by observing change of a phenomenon that is time dependent.  A human's own self is  not unchanging (brain is going all the time, changing thoughts etc), so we would perceive time even without an apparent change in the external environment or stimuli (sort of like sensory deprivation).  However, at the quantum level, even the vacuum has fluctuations (change).

Hi Robin,

You're getting into an area that overlaps more with philosophy and psychology than physics. Human perception of time makes things too complicated, so physicists prefer to stay away from that and instead concentrate on the behavior of simpler objects such as clocks under various experimental circumstances. In essence, we use an operational definition of time: it is whatever a precise clock measures. We take it from there leaving it to philosophers to debate what exactly time is.

For centuries, it was taken for granted that time is absolute. In practical terms, it was thought that all clocks should agree. This worked fine until physicists discovered that light is electromagnetic waves. Waves need a medium to travel in, so this medium was called the luminiferous aether. Our experience with other waves taught us that waves travel with a fixed speed relative to the medium, so by measuring the time of propagation one could determine how fast and in which direction we are moving relative to the aether.

Unfortunately, all experimental attempts at detecting our motion relative to the aether (such as the Michelson-Morley experiment) failed: the measured speed of light did not seem to depend on the speed of the observer. Lorentz and others came up with a theory that explained the null result of Michelson and Morley by suggesting that the physical forces work so that all objects moving relative to the aether contract and all characteristic times dilate by the such amounts that the measured ratios of spatial displacements to time periods give the same speed of light c.

This was a working explanation but it was a bit unsatisfactory. It painted the constancy of the speed of light in different inertial frames as an elaborate illusion: the speed wasn't really the same, but the meter sticks and clocks in moving frame were out of whack. On top of this, the theory relied on the existence of a very special reference frame, in which things were hunky-dory: the meter sticks really were 1 meter long and the clocks ticked exactly once every second. In other frames, things appeared to work in the same way.

Worst of all, this state of affairs made a travesty out of the principle of relativity (all inertial frames are equivalent). The reliance on the aether suggested, on the one hand, that the principle of relativity was wrong in theory: the aether frame is "more equivalent" than the other inertial frames. On the other hand, you couldn't detect the lack of equivalence, so the principle of relativity was right in practice! These things drove physicists nuts.

So Einstein's proposed a radical solution:
(1) the principle of relativity works, all inertial frames are equivalent,
(2) light travels at the same speed in all inertial frames,
(3) but time flows differently in two frames moving relative to each other.
Point 1 is near and dear to a physicist's heart. It is a cornerstone of physics. Point 2 has been confirmed experimentally over and over again. Point 3 sounds extremely radical to a non-physicist, particularly to a philosopher. But to a physicist who uses an operational definition of time (whatever is measured by clocks) this is more or less a restatement of Lorentz's idea. So 1+2 was enough of a sugar coat to let #3 go down.

Incidentally, in Einstein's original theory of special relativity time was not combined with the spatial coordinates to make a four-dimensional continuum. Spacetime was invented by Einstein's math teacher Minkowski. That was quite useful in practical terms because a point moving through space could be visualized as a line in spacetime. Kinematics (dependence of coordinates on time) was reduced to geometry of worldlines and Lorentz transformations became mere rotations in spacetime. In ordinary space, rotations conserve the length of a line. In spacetime, the analog of length is called the interval. Its conservation is related to the constancy of the speed of light.

Spacetime might look like a fancy mathematical concept, but it turned out to be extremely useful in physics. It linked special relativity (physics in inertial reference frames) to the geometry of a flat four-dimensional space.* Einstein realized that he could reduce the kinematics in a non-inertial reference frame to the geometry of a curved spacetime. This realization constitutes one half of the general theory of relativity.**

OK, this comment is about 800 words long, or 100 millitorley according to the latest calibration. I'd better stop before everyone's eyes glaze over.

*To be sure, the space is a bit weird: the square of the distance in it is not the sum of squares of all coordinates. You add the squares of the spatial coordinates and subtract the square of the time coordinate.

**The other half is the principle of equivalence: gravity can be simulated by accelerated motion. Remember feeling heavier in an elevator starting up? It's not an illusion, that's how gravity works.

And does block time make more sense than alternative concepts?  Not good for free will, though.*

And inertia.  Inertia is weird.

And what was it like inside the primordial singularity?  Like nothing we see here now is the obvious answer, I suppose.

And why did it go "Bang!" at all?

And if we were able to poke around in the "quark soup" that followed the Bang - without being instantly vaporized, of course - would we be able to observe the roots of everything we see around us now?  Was it all somehow 'folded in' there or was something added to the mix after and, if so, where did that all come from?

Being a physicist can't be easy.

Small wonder some people just say it was designed and let it go at that.  Saves you from an awful lot of thinking.

*Any answer should be less than the threshold value of 500 millitorleys as anything longer will take longer than the current age of the Universe to read and comprehend. (Mainly because you keep falling asleep about a quarter of the way in)

Meaning gravity is what, acceleration through space time? Inertia against change in 4-d co-ordinates?  Your feet moving more slowly through time than your head? Weird stuff, indeed.

Guts seems pretty intelligence, so it's rather odd he can't grasp some very basic points about emergence and termite behavior. He says he has computer experience, but for some reason, he has no understanding of the basic theory. A savant, perhaps.

Quote
aiguy: My argument to you is essentially that social insects provide a good example of how natural, intelligent behavior can be reduced to simple rules, which leads to the conclusion that other simple rules (natural laws in fact) can in principle lead to the production of complex form and function.

Quote
Guts: If they are based on simple rules, how is it that they can adapt to local conditions?

The funny thing about emergence is that it can be difficult to describe in detail. Like the Mandelbrot set, zn+1 = zn2 + c, the rule is very simple, and you just can't see the inherent complexity of the graph. It has to be shown, not explained. If Guts has never seen a simple simulation of swarm intelligence, that might explain his ignorance.

Quote
Guts: What is your evidence that they are simple rule based individuals?

Quote
aiguy: citation, citation, citation

The other area of confusion has to do with the concept of reduction, and is rather funny. Aiguy says that complex programs can be reduced to a few simple UTM instructions. Guts takes this to mean that there are only a few lines of code rather than a lot of lines comprised of a few types of instructions (in parallel to lots of termites, each following a simple rule set). Nothing seems to get through to him on this.

If you know the person who is outing that well-known Telic Thoughts member on that other blog (not TT), please ask him to stop. If you are that person, then please stop.

Seriously, IDists already have a persecution complex. What is the point of strengthening it?

I came here because a poster from the thread in question is also a poster here. I assume there is some overlap in readership.

If you don't know what I'm talking about then please ignore.
