Is it really surprising though? People are taught to accept obviously false statements. Hidden under a subconsciousness trigger like the rule of three in maths.
100 / 3 = 33.3333333333333333333333333333333333333333.
Ain't that fascinating? How can that be? We're obviously not on the peak if we can't account for the itsy bitsy suuuuuuuuuuuuuuper tiny quantity missing.
Because let's face it the universe itself is kind of perfect.
How it all works and one tiny bit off and it all would find a gruesome death one way or the other.
But here in our now the universe is running pretty smoothly. The amount of stability to craddle us here is pretty astonishing for a very long time. Yet here we are.
But now would also be more a summ and can only approach a full zero or one hundred.
Like with the example above were we can see that.
I believe that's where physics calls back to math. So far it's only been math telling physics what's 'real'. And now physics should maybe tell math: honey without time nothing is real. It's a moving universe, things approach theoretically a zero but because there is time it never is zero.
So suck it up and pipe down, it ain't real.
It just means we can't currently account for it but there is something we are missing. NOT only not know how it works. NOT even know it's there. There's no coincidence. There's no vacuum. We not only don't want to jump the hurdle, we can't see it.
Because of that quality math has that you can prove basically everything with it. Especially with a fancy constant that seems to explain stuff but is really just math-fiction. An average or estimate if you're lucky. Like #ing Lambda.
I mean yes, to me too it looks a lot like Einstein was the overall smartest cookie in all of our history. But Lambda is a cheap trick. And while I'm not confident enough to speak about more, I am confident there are more.
And why is that? Because maths allows us, actually pushes us a little towards accepting 0/0/0 as if ever anywhere in a vacuum in the universe could be such a thing.
That's like: my unicorn farted wolpertinger.
But we accept it and with it we give up a little sanity.
And that's the magic of wetware.
Never ever 0/0/0 naturally embeded in time, because they live, while our computers drift around detached in the imaginary realm of Dezember 29. 10:28 o'clock plus coordinates I don't know those. Totally made up.
Wetware is awesome, fascinating, promising and the scariest craziest thing out there.
Look it up it's a thing.
So sorry I rambled and forgot what I was doing...

Definition of Wetware:- Wetware denotes equipment or materiel used by people in the occupation of Wetwork. It has nothing to do with a brain except maybe putting a metal projectile in said brain.
In vitro neurons learn and exhibit sentience when embodied in a simulated game-world
Integrating neurons into digital systems to leverage their innate intelligence may enable performance infeasible with silicon alone, along with providing insight into the cellular origin of intelligence. We developed DishBrain, a system which exhibits natural intelligence by harnessing the inherent adaptive computation of neurons in a structured environment. In vitro neural networks from human or rodent origins, are integrated with in silico computing via high-density multielectrode array. Through electrophysiological stimulation and recording, cultures were embedded in a simulated game-world, mimicking the arcade game ‘Pong’. Applying a previously untestable theory of active inference via the Free Energy Principle, we found that learning was apparent within five minutes of real-time gameplay, not observed in control conditions. Further experiments demonstrate the importance of closed-loop structured feedback in eliciting learning over time. Cultures display the ability to self-organise in a goal-directed manner in response to sparse sensory information about the consequences of their actions.

We’re not trying to give computers a better learning algorithm. We’re not putting copies of ourselves onto computer chips. And we’re not making tiny humans for your pocket. In fact, we don’t know what we’re making, because nothing like this has ever existed before. An entirely new mode of being. A fusion of silicon and neuron. A native to the digital world lit with the promethean fire of the human mind.
