The Mad Matrix

 

A Game of Choice

This still isn't exactly what I was looking for, but for the time being...:

Caveat:

I have no idea if this is valid enough to serve as a pattern or rule, or if it's just a function of pick- and- choose selection or simple coincidence.

In other words, I have no idea if there is a counterexample that would show the opposite, or otherwise inconsistent results.

The problem or task:


  • If given three known factors A, B, and C, is there a "blind" mechanical method for testing which of several possibilities of relation would be valid, and which would not?

  • And how many possibilities of relation are there at all?



The way I see it, the factors A, B, and C can be connected by multiplication in three distinct ways:

A=BC, B=AC, or C=AB

i. e. one as the result of the other two multiplied.


Expressing that relation by division is just a transformation or resolution of the above, in order:

A=BC, A=B/C, A=C/B

B=AC, B=C/A, B=A/C

C=AB, C=A/B, C=B/A


So all in all there are nine possibilities of relation; three products and six fractions.

Taking the physical formula for speed, we would have:


v=dt v=t/d v=d/t
t=dv t=d/v t=v/d
d=tv d=v/t d=t/v

(v=velocity or speed, d=distance travelled, t=time elapsed)


Checking the formula for speed

Now, focussing on the six fractions, check the mathematical formula for physical validity (all else remaining equal):

[Checking the different mathematical formulas for physical consistency; if either factor in a random mathematical product grows or diminishes physically, does the result do so as well?

Note that the two formulas found to be valid are interchangeable; and so are three pairs of products, bringing their number back to three.

So, magically (and relying on that, hopefully, no mistakes were made), this seems to have worked out fine for the formula for speed.


Checking the formula for electrical resistance

Let's check with the formula for electrical resistance (R=resistance, I=current, U=voltage):

[Checking the different mathematical formulas for physical consistency; if either factor in a random mathematical product grows or diminishes physically, does the result do so as well?

Again, depending on that no mistakes were made, it looks like the same result.

And so, everybody knows what's coming: Yes, of course, the hobby horse!


Checking the formula for entropy

Everybody do their thing… I have no idea…

[Checking the different mathematical formulas for physical consistency; if either factor in a random mathematical product grows or diminishes physically, does the result do so as well?

Time Gravity Dip

Something to think about... Note that the end speed seems not to change, therefore the second law / conservation of energy is not violated -  but somewhere along the way, the effect of gravity shortens the overall time, thus increasing the overall speed (though the actual distance of travel also increased as well), so that the sphere with the longest way to travel paradoxically hits the target first . This works even in repetition:     Now imagine the opposite - a cannon ball shot (or a rock hurled) straight up into the air, to fall down exactly where it was: the distance is zero (or, if you miss, very short), but time did pass - and the speed of the projectile was much higher than can be inferred from that resulting 'distance'; in fact, the higher its velocity, the more time passes until it's return, and the slower or lower the resulting overall speed (remember that the trajectory of any missile on earth is always longer than the actual di...

Order, Complexity and Information

Order and Complexity in view of Information Order and Complexity have been used almost synonymously in this concept of gravitationally induced order throughout the universe; and though they are not quite the same, rightfully so. What has been missing is that order and complexity convey information . And this plays into the concept of entropy vs. negentropy (or negative entropy , which, again, does not exist ; what is meant is less entropy.) 1.    One manifestation or concept of entropy is that of disorder ; ergo, the opposite, negative entropy , manifests itself as negative disorder , less disorder or, simply, order . 2.    Another concept describes negative entropy as a measure of the information content of a system; the more entropy a system expresses, the less information it contains: Maximum disorder is maximum disorder. Maximum order is maximum order (which is far more difficult to express or assert). Comparing two identical...
