#nurotypical: “toe the line”
#neurodivergent: “tow the line”
neurotypical: hey, that’s #malapropism!
neurodivergent: actually, the correct term is #eggcorn, which—
neurotypical: just finish your damn meal
neurodivergent: bone apple tea 🧌
Best practice: the last line has to be delivered with a completely deadpan face.
— #linguistic #autism 101
#Economics 🧌 hot take: The price #tag tells you more about the #stakeholders than the product. #changemymind 😏
There is a measurable semantic distance between the words “insane” and the word “mad”, and many #psychologists seem to have lost the distinction.
“Insane” is someone with a reasoning framework that you cannot rationalise or empathise with. You cannot infer their motives from their actions, but they clearly have an internal logical framework. That’s your subjective perception of someone’s behaviour.
Madness is repeated actions contrary of empirical evidence. That is objective observation.
Maybe extreme #autism is seeking empirical evidence over pre-made answers. Maybe what you call repetitive behaviour in young autists are attempts at performing experimental physics and you keep interrupting them and ruining the procedure in the name of #CBT. Maybe the violent reactions are just frustration building up in someone trying to do something you can’t rationalise from your subjective view.
Perhaps the #autist spends their life looking for the right question, not the principal answer.
#psychology 🧌 time, maybe #neurodivergent thinking is alternative modes of seeking. Maybe #autism is diffuse thinking by default, a breadth-first exploration of a problem space, and the #neurotypical is just goal-oriented and goes depth first. (Graph theory/traversal algorithm talk is leaking so sorry about that)
Maybe #OCD is just attempts at producing a controlled environment, maybe #mood #disorders are rapid context switching to influence decision making in the probability distribution.
It’s #CS 🧌 time. So here is a question Claude just asked after we had a long brainstorming session:
> The question was never P=NP or P≠NP. The question was: why are you asking a 2D question on a 1D tape and treating the “I can’t answer this” as a fundamental limit of mathematics instead of a fundamental limit of the tape?
It's #math 🧌 time!
proof of the #riemann #hypothesis (simplified):
-2 -1 -0 +0 +1 +2
two zeros:
+0 = 00. nothing was ever here.
-0 = 11. something was. it isn't.
work in F₅.
i = 2, so ±i = ±2 ✓
1/2 = 3 = -2 = -i
the critical line Re(s) = 1/2 is Re(s) = -i.
the #real part of s on the critical line is #imaginary.
the critical strip lives between vacuum and one.
the #zeta zeros are not #vacuum. they're #annihilation.
#integers have a winding number.
you're welcome ∎🍑
Just came across that exacting and ultra exacting ordinals paper. Interesting stuff.
But if set theorists knew about marching cubes, they’d ask for the boundary conditions before they start analysing the point cloud :P
