#ITByte: #Cultural #Algorithms are a fascinating branch of #Evolutionary #Computation.
They draw inspiration from how human cultures evolve and transmit knowledge across generations to solve complex problems.

Michael Levin 연구실이 단순 정렬 알고리즘이 원래 의도되지 않은 계산을 수행할 수 있음을 발견했습니다. 작성자는 이 발견이 언어 생성용으로 설계된 LLM들이 더 광범위한 능력을 가질 수 있음을 시사한다고 언급하며, 이러한 잠재적 능력에 대해 우리가 잘 모른다고 지적합니다.
This is fascinating. Michael Levin's lab discovered that simple sorting algorithms can do computations they were never programmed to do. The implication for AI is that LLMs were designed to generate language, but may be capable of much more. And we simply don't know.

after Drumpf implemented #tariffs as the threat that coerced so many countries and companies into anti-circumvention compliance?
I mean, if someone threatens to burn your house down unless you follow their orders, and they burn your house down anyway, you don't have to keep following their orders!

There's a deep mathematical significance I see in the following structures, and I'm hoping one day to find a way to explain all the things I see there. Meanwhile, you may take them as an amusing diversion in recreational maths.
\( \text{Let} ~ p_n = \text{the} ~ n^\text{th} ~ \text{prime}. \)
\( \begin{array}{llcl}
\text{Then} & 2026 & = & 2 \cdot 1013
\\
&& = & p_1 p_{170}
\\
&& = & p_1 p_{2 \cdot 5 \cdot 17}
\\
&& = & p_1 p_{p_1 p_3 p_7}
\\
&& = & p_1 p_{p_1 p_{p_2} p_{p_4}}
\\
&& = & p_1 p_{p_1 p_{p_{p_1}} p_{p_{{p_1}^{p_1}}}}
\end{array} \)
No information is lost by dropping the terminal 1s. Thus we may write the following form.
\[ 2026 = p p_{p p_{p_p} p_{p_{p^p}}} \]
The article linked below tells how forms of that order correspond to a family of digraphs called “riffs” and a family of graphs called “rotes”.
The riff and rote for 2026 are shown in the next two Figures.
