@chemoelectric@masto.ai I've always had an interest in science, which is why I bothered to investigate the science behind your interesting claims about Bell tests sufficiently to understand why you were wrong, and then investigate your number system sufficiently to understand that it was nothing more than fluff on top of standard mathematics, and then investigate your work on relativity to understand not only that your writeup was extremely wrong but how to derive the correct, falsified prediction of the scenario you claimed. Along the way I've asked you simple questions you could use to further your own understanding or convince me (or anyone else - you constantly moan that the Establishment doesn't believe you), but can't answer. This week for a last bit of fun, I looked at the so-called proofs in your huge document. You (or I guess the "inference engine") have written a "proof" of the Collatz conjecture which is merely the probabilistic argument everyone knows for why it "ought" to be true. Barry, you cannot prove a statement about *all numbers* by an argument that relies on behaviour *on average*. Because, and I'm afraid I have to point this out, it only takes a single counterexample for the conjecture to be false, and a single counterexample does not change the average. Your commitment to science lasted just until the implications of the science got counterintuitive. You'd have been clamouring for Galileo's head, had you lived at that time. This has been fun, and educational. (To clarify: I have educated myself, while you have avoided all questions) But I don't wish to waste my time on someone who trusts their own reasoning and the "reasoning" of language models so highly, when it produces such manifestly wrong claims, and who won't do even the basic courtesy of answering questions. My parting advice: keep your hobby private, and don't dump your trash all over the internet, if you don't actually want to engage with people over it.
