Definitions

Posted on by lechuck park

With a Claude’s Help
this diagram that illustrates two approaches to definitions:

  1. Definitions By Number:
  • Input and output through function f(x) is precise and clear
  • 100% accuracy in results
  • No exceptions
  • Always yields consistent results regardless of context
  • Mathematical/numerical definitions are unambiguous
  1. Definitions By Text:
  • The concept being defined is connected to multiple contextual elements:
    • Historical background (History)
    • Linguistic expression (ABC)
    • Social/cultural context (represented by the global icon)
  • Characteristics and limitations:
    • Can only directly express a “Very Small” portion of the complete meaning
    • Often uses “Almost” in descriptions
    • Key Point: “Must be Shared”
      • Related background knowledge
      • Historical context
      • Social consensus
      • Cultural understanding
    • If these contextual elements are not properly shared, it becomes “Not 100% (Easy to break)”
      • Perfect communication of meaning becomes difficult
      • Possibility of misunderstanding or misinterpretation exists

The diagram ultimately explains:

  • While numerical definitions are objective and precise
  • Text-based definitions are inherently incomplete on their own
  • For proper understanding of text-based definitions, related contextual knowledge and background must be shared
  • This explains why the same words or sentences can be interpreted differently depending on cultural context and background knowledge

This concept is particularly important in understanding:

  • Why linguistic definitions can vary across cultures
  • The importance of shared context in communication
  • Why mathematical/numerical definitions remain consistent across different contexts
  • The inherent limitations of purely textual definitions without proper context

This diagram effectively shows why precise communication through text alone can be challenging without shared contextual understanding, while numerical definitions remain universally consistent.

This concept emphasizes the balance between numerical analysis and human intuition. Numbers are efficient tools for decision-making but have limitations, as they cannot solve everything. It highlights the importance of adhering to principles and goals when using data. Areas beyond numerical solutions allow for creativity and human values to drive progress, advocating for an integrated approach to decision-making.

Humans with numbers

From Claude with some prompting
This image depicts the progressive development of human capabilities and knowledge, showcasing how humans have strived to understand and explain the world through the use of numbers, mathematics, and computing technology.

  1. Human Groups: The image represents humans coming together in groups to explore and comprehend the world around them.
  2. Using Math: Humans have leveraged numbers and mathematical calculations in an effort to make sense of the world.
  3. Computing: Building upon their mathematical prowess, the advancement of computing technology has enhanced human analysis and understanding.
  4. High-Speed Infrastructure: The development of cutting-edge technological infrastructure has enabled further evolution of human activities.
  5. AI and Deep Learning: This series of technological advancements has led humans to a point where they may feel they have nearly reached the true essence of reality. However, the image suggests that the emergence of AI and deep learning technologies is now challenging this human-centric perspective, hinting that there may still be an infinite gap to traverse before fully grasping the fundamental nature of the world.

In essence, the image showcases the stepwise progression of human knowledge and capabilities, anchored in numbers, math, and computing, while also highlighting how these efforts are now being disrupted by the rise of advanced AI and deep learning, which may transcend the limitations of human understanding.

Understanding and Predicting

Posted on by lechuck park

From Claude with some prompting
This image illustrates the human process of approaching truth through understanding and prediction. The key components are:

  1. Understanding: Represented by a lightbulb and a human icon, signifying the acquisition of basic knowledge.
  2. Predicting: Symbolized by a magnifying glass with a question mark, indicating the stage where understanding is used to make predictions.
  3. Truth: Depicted by a group of people and a “TRUTH” label, representing the ultimate goal.

These elements are connected sequentially, with prediction aiming to get “near to the Truth.”

The process is built on two foundational concepts:

  • Fundamental
  • Extension

These concepts interact through “New & Verification,” with the fundamental aspect encompassing “More Micro, More Macro, More Detail.”

Key Insights:

  1. Continuous Approach to Truth: Humans are constantly moving towards truth through understanding and prediction. This is a dynamic process, not a static one.
  2. Knowledge Expansion and Refinement: We expand our knowledge by exploring fundamental concepts more microscopically, macroscopically, and in greater detail. This represents growth in both depth and breadth of human knowledge.
  3. Limitations of Human Perception: The phrase “Just by Human observation & Words” at the bottom of the image highlights a fundamental limitation. We can only understand and express the world through our observations and language, not through direct access to matter itself.
  4. Role and Limitations of Numbers: While mathematical expressions can help overcome some linguistic limitations, they too face boundaries when confronting the infinite complexity of the microscopic and macroscopic worlds.
  5. Infinite Nature of Knowledge: As we learn more, we discover there is even more to learn. This paradox suggests an endless journey of discovery and understanding.
  6. Dynamic Process: The pursuit of knowledge is ongoing and ever-evolving, constantly expanding and becoming more refined.

In conclusion, this image portrays the continuous human quest for knowledge and truth, acknowledging our perceptual and expressive limitations while emphasizing our persistent efforts to expand and deepen our understanding of the world around us.

The Quantum of Communication

Posted on by lechuck park

From Claude with some prompting
The image illustrates “The Quantum of Communication”. Here, ‘quantum’ doesn’t refer to the physics concept, but rather to numbers as the smallest unit of communication that can be understood uniformly among humans with minimal misinterpretation.

Key elements of the image:

  1. Natural language communication:
    • At the top, two human figures are shown with speech bubbles and intermediary elements between them.
    • Both sides state “Same Words Diff Meanings by Personals”.
    • The center reads “Never Exist Perfect Communications.” This represents how natural language can lead to misunderstandings, as the same words may be interpreted differently by individuals.
  2. Numerical communication:
    • The lower section has a circular area labeled “By Numbers”.
    • Inside this circle, there’s an icon representing binary code (01) and what appears to be a mathematical formula or equation.
    • The bottom text reads “More Better Perfect Communications.” This suggests that communication using numbers can be more precise and less prone to misinterpretation.

The image presents the idea that in human communication, ‘numbers’ can serve as the clearest and most universally understood minimal unit – the ‘quantum’ of communication. It contrasts the ambiguity and potential for misunderstanding in natural language with the precision of numerical expression. The overall message is that numerical or mathematical communication offers a more accurate and perfect form of information exchange compared to the variability in natural language interpretation.

01 world

From Claude with some prompting
This image depicts the evolution of how humans perceive and express the world around them.

It starts with the binary system of 0 and 1, from which letters and numbers were created, leading to the creation of the digital world represented by “01 Aa”.

Humans take in data from the world through various channels such as sight, sound, and touch in a comprehensive manner. This received data is then distinguished and perceived as 0 and 1, A and B, and so on.

With the advancement of computing technology and AI, tools like CPUs and neural networks enabled a deeper understanding of the world from both microscopic and macroscopic perspectives.

The images of the Earth and the universe symbolize the entirety of the world that humans perceive.

Therefore, this image illustrates the evolution of human perception, starting from the binary system, progressing through the comprehensive intake of data from various channels, and culminating in the development of computing and AI technologies.
