eric,

By the way, it has come to my attention that there is another person using the MathGrrl pseudonym, and her use actually predates mine. I am not the MathGrrl that comes up first in a Google search (I’m leaving her name out deliberately so as not to associate us in the search engines). Please don’t harass her because of anything I’ve said.

Perhaps we were wrong about her identity.

First, I was going to  ask if PaV just made the ultimate own goal.

Second, does it matter if mathgrrl isn't mathgrrl?  The quality of the argument is what matters.

It really doesn't matter if JoeG goes all internet staker on her.  No one over there can answer what is probably the most fundamental issue with ID.

Oh, I agree.  It was more an attempt at owning up to our own mistakes. We had taken no small measure of glee watching the UDers question mathgrrl's credentials, on the belief that we knew who she really was.  Inasmuch as we look to be wrong, I thought it worth mentioning.

Easily solved.  If you are female, move to Vermont.  If you are male move to Saudi Arabia and convert.  I suspect that it might be easier to persuade MathGrrl to move to Vermont.

I must confess, I'm not exactly up on Vermont law. What the caveat for being a woman there?

And...umm...there's one major potential hurdle to this idea anyway: what are the odds that Mathgrrl wants to marry a gender reassigned women (who really wants to be a man with her) in Vermont?

Outside of that this sounds pretty much flawless, Rossum! Thanks!

So, using the “metric” of CSI, we would conclude that neither of the strings is “designed”. This turns out to be wrong; BUT, it is NOT a false positive, which would render CSI suspect, and of limited use.


Oh, it's definitely not a false positive.  CSI still failed to give you the right answer.  Dumbass.

ETA: Also, he's basically just doing a straight bit-length count. Any genuinely random bit-string of 500 digits or more would break the so-called "UPB" and thus give a false positive.  I repeat: dumbass.

ETAA: to fix the first ETA, in which I didn't initially include "or more". Stupid me.

I figured out that String 1 was designed. Didn't have time to point it out.

String 1 has 112 ones and 80 zeros. An excess of 32 from the mean is pretty large: 2.3 standard deviations (the square root of 192, or about 14).

String 2 is more even, 107 ones and 85 zeros. That's an excess of 1.6 standard deviations.

PaV's rant about 500 bits is stupid. It's an arbitrary cutoff. DrDr could have declared 100 bits the CSI bound and it would be as good.

William J. Murray tries to help.  He fails:  
Quote
BTW, any CSI or FSCO/I analysis only makes a provisional finding of “best explanation” under current knowledge. As PaV’s example shows, we can find false negatives all the time simply by not knowing about the pattern that a sequence describes; it might appear totally random until we find the pattern (in cryptanalysis, that would be the “key”) that reveals the functional specificity of the sequence.


So, basically if one suspects design in the first place, one can then determine if some string actually is designed.  That'd probably require some sort of background knowledge about the prime designer suspect, I'd imagine.  But wow, that CSI sure is useful, I tell you what!  Oh, but wait: what if the pattern is actually due to some totally natural but unknown regularity? Well shucks.

ETA: stupid URL mangling.

So, it’s CSI is 196 bits; far less than the needed 500. Therefore, we cannot conclude—without knowing its causal history—that it is “designed”.

Q.E.D.


So... lemme see if I got this right. If we know it's causal history and that causal history tells us that it was designed then it was designed, yes?

or shorter... If we know it was designed then it was designed.

Q.E. tardfuckin D.

Or perhaps PaV means if there was another "304 bits or more" longer (304+196=500 in my world) then he can say, Eureka! we have CSI?

500 bits is supposed to come from the 10^150 of the UPB. I don't but that - but even if I did, as I told Joe:

part of the 10^150 is 10^80, for the number of particles in the observable universe. But 'the observable universe' <> the universe.

And even that 10^80 is acknowledged as being a lowball estimate:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe#Matter_content

"A typical star has a mass of about 2×1030 kg, which is about 1×1057 atoms of hydrogen per star. A typical galaxy has about 400 billion stars so that means each galaxy has 1×1057 × 4×1011 = 4×1068 hydrogen atoms. There are possibly 80 billion galaxies in the universe, so that means that there are about 4×1068 × 8×1010 = 3×1079 hydrogen atoms in the observable universe. But this is definitely a lower limit calculation, and it ignores many possible atom sources such as intergalactic gas.[42]"

Now whether you may is another question altogether.

Oops.  Failed to note rossum's similar response above before posting mine.  I would argue for Mass. over Vt., however, on the basis of priority.  We've been at it longer so we must be better at it.

He seemingly means both: if it's <500 bits, then you must know the causal history, or at least suspect it has one involving design. Only when said history is determined or just known from the outset can one then determine the CSI (which is just however many bits long it is) that his supposed CSI "metric" would tell you it doesn't have.  If it's >500 bits...IT'S DESIGNED!  It has 500+n bits of CSI!  Of course, that doesn't work either.

Which, I might add, plays right into Mathgrrl's hand.  She specifically asked about CSI with regard to a gene duplication, way back when on the original thread.  Calculating CSI in such a manner can only lead to the conclusion that known evolutionary mechanism, like a gene duplication, can create CSI.

Is PaV really so stupid to go back to that?
