In a 2018 interview, Chalmers called quantum mechanics "a magnet for anyone who wants to find room for crazy properties of the mind," but not entirely without warrant. The relationship between observation (and, by extension, consciousness) and the wave-function collapse is known as the measurement problem. It seems tha...

In The Conscious Mind (1996), Chalmers attempts to pinpoint why the hard problem is so hard. He concludes that consciousness is irreducible to lower-level physical facts, just as the fundamental laws of physics are irreducible to lower-level physical facts. Therefore, consciousness should be taken as fundamental in its...

In the philosophy of mind, panpsychism () is the view that the mind or a mindlike aspect is a fundamental and ubiquitous feature of reality.

Intuitively, passing through five points in general linear position specifies five independent linear constraints on the (projective) linear space of conics, and hence specifies a unique conic, though this brief statement ignores subtleties. More precisely, this is seen as follows: conics correspond to points in the fi...

Instead of passing through points, a different condition on a curve is being tangent to a given line. Being tangent to five given lines also determines a conic, by projective duality, but from the algebraic point of view tangency to a line is a quadratic constraint, so naive dimension counting yields 25 = 32 conics tan...

As is well known, three non-collinear points determine a circle in Euclidean geometry and two distinct points determine a pencil of circles such as the Apollonian circles.

While five points determine a conic, sets of six or more points on a conic are not in general position, that is, they are constrained as is demonstrated in Pascal's theorem.

The natural generalization is to ask for what value of k a configuration of k points (in general position) in n-space determines a variety of degree d and dimension m, which is a fundamental question in enumerative geometry.

In Euclidean and projective geometry, five points determine a conic (a degree-2 plane curve), just as two (distinct) points determine a line (a degree-1 plane curve).

Synthetically, the conic can be constructed by the Braikenridge–Maclaurin construction, by applying the Braikenridge–Maclaurin theorem, which is the converse of Pascal's theorem.

In vector calculus, a vector potential is a vector field whose curl is a given vector field. This is analogous to a scalar potential, which is a scalar field whose gradient is a given vector field. Formally, given a vector field v, a vector potential is a C 2 {\displaystyle C^{2}} vector field A such that

The constructive dilemma rule may be written in sequent notation: ( P → Q ) , ( R → S ) , ( P ∨ R ) ⊢ ( Q ∨ S ) {\displaystyle (P\to Q),(R\to S),(P\lor R)\vdash (Q\lor S)} where ⊢ {\displaystyle \vdash } is a metalogical symbol meaning that Q ∨ S {\displaystyle Q\lor S} is a syntactic consequence of P → Q {\displaystyl...

In 3D rendering, access patterns for texture mapping and rasterization of small primitives (with arbitrary distortions of complex surfaces) are far from linear, but can still exhibit spatial locality (e.g., in screen space or texture space). This can be turned into good memory locality via some combination of morton or...

Strided or simple 2D, 3D access patterns (e.g., stepping through multi-dimensional arrays) are similarly easy to predict, and are found in implementations of linear algebra algorithms and image processing. Loop tiling is an effective approach. Some systems with DMA provided a strided mode for transferring data between ...

Nearest neighbor memory access patterns appear in simulation, and are related to sequential or strided patterns. An algorithm may traverse a data structure using information from the nearest neighbors of a data element (in one or more dimensions) to perform a calculation. These are common in physics simulations operati...
