True Machine Learning

While the Medieval Age of engineering feasted on the misinformation and disinformation about machine learning and artificial intelligence, I have been addressing the real problems.

Today true machine learning is born.

Today the Dark Age on this subject has passed.

True Artificial Intelligence is now being woven, a beautiful child that will come forth from the thoughtful and artistic womb of dutyful posterity.

For a context about this subject please refer to my 2019 article, since my position hasn’t changed since then. You also benefit from reading this other article.

March 2025 Update:
This model became the basis for a proper, scientific machine model of Reasoning which is described here.

Wrist vibrato

This video records my main findings after studying the wrist vibrato on the violin for the past few months. This technique involves a number of different factors that I believe should be addressed and developed separately so as to make it easier to develop the proper wrist vibrato.

Hand angle relative to the neck
Finger pressure
Thumb support
Wrist vibration

Its worth noting that it is not enough to do the right things to play the vibrato, because we depend on strenght and flexibility on different parts of the fingers, and these can only be developed in time.

So, if you are doing everything right and still you can’t do the vibrato properly, that is the most likely reason and I believe that my approach here can help you pinpoint the factors that are hindering your performance.

Below is an illustration of the suggested increase in amplitude for the wrist vibrato. This helps avoid a kind of “resonance” that amplifies the violin shaking.

Practising what I preach:

It is interesting to note that the interior of the wall of this nest is stuffed with a kind of feathers that is very soft, silky, and warm and this can only come from the parent birds’ own feathers. Its visible as that grey inner layer in the pictures.

Origin of life

If we accept that a system tends to assume any possible configuration, which is consistent with modern physics, then we can demonstrate by induction the origin of biological life.

In order to demonstrate it we would need only a single instance in which a set of stable conditions of a chemical system resulted in a locally irreversible change in its configuration (more precisely, an decrease in entropy), regardless of the amount of time those conditions persisted.
By mathematical induction, all possible states of a system up to organized life would have been demonstrated, since we verified the base case and we ourselves constitute the inductive hypothesis.

This means that the origin of life could be the easiest thing to demonstrate by experiment, given a sufficiently large time frame. However it tells us nothing about how life evolved.

This would also mean that life is not an agency per se, but the direct expression of the action of certain laws on certain configuration states, that is, it is not life that evolves but instead the conditions in which it exists that evolve. This is “isomorphic” to a non-dual metaphysical perspective.

Another way to put it, is that if we remove time from the equation things pop in and out of existence without explanation, the same way we cannot perceive by our senses (but only by the intellect) an explanation about phenomena that occur at sufficiently large time scales. In fact, in this situation the universe behaves at the macroscopic level in the same way as in the quantum level, since in both cases there is no time referencial, that is, no causality.
