Duality and Physmatics
Antipodal Duality and solving particle physics problems using DNA-type math. “You know the beginning and the end of the story, but you also need to know the middle”. This is also true in training AI networks with cause and effect – it is necessary to understand what happens in between. In case of this issue,…

Additive Manufacturing for Space
Here is a perfect example where 3D printing provided a cheaper alternative for a robust solution to gauge temperature and plasma variations. This type of rapid prototyping process will even spur more innovation in satellite and spacecraft design. “If you want to innovate, you need to be able to fail and afford the risk. Additive…

Quipus, Quantum Computers and Enterprise Systems
From Quipus to Quantum Computers to Enterprise Systems “Time symmetries can be difficult to see directly but can be revealed mathematically by imagining the real-world material as a lower-dimensional projection from a hypothetical higher-dimensional space, similar to how a two-dimensional hologram is a lower-dimensional projection of a three-dimensional object. In the case of this newly…

20220824 – Digitization vs Digitalization
Digital is a judicious mélange of Art and Technology, and the right blend is needed from both fields to define, design, build, govern and implement the metamorphosis that enterprises undergo in their progression. Digital Transformation is not just about technology – it is the coordinated aggregation of people, process and platform interacting to provide a…

Biomimicry and Allometric Scaling
Engineering and Technology are easy, Biology and Life very hard. Allometric scaling is the non-proportional relationship between energy metabolism and size of a living creature. An increase in size, during development or evolution, is typically accompanied by a less-than-proportional increase in energy requirements such that, when compared gram-for-gram, large animals burn less energy and require less food than small ones. In…

Quipus – The Incan Talking Knots
Here is an interesting article on Quipus – talking knots. The Incas used them for collecting data and keeping records, monitoring tax obligations, properly collecting census records, calendrical information, and for military organization. The Incas did not have a written language. Nonetheless, they adopted a unique system of recording information from their predecessors. This ancient…

Supersonic Air travel
In the image above, I asked meta.ai to imagine a future supersonic aircraft by merging the Concorde with the Boom Supersonic Overture. 20220905 – The Feasibility John H. Schmidt commented: Boom Supersonic’s development schedule shows the rollout of the first prototype in 2025, giving it about three years to line up its suppliers, establish a…
