And Quora and Reddit and the tooth fairy. Yes. Consumer models, especially, have shit datasets. You technophobes don’t seem to realize that data can be curated and these ai can be and are used for serious scientific pursuits. All you idiots are crying about capitalism, not this incredible tool.

I’m piling on. You haven’t even had your heart broken! Did you even do outside? You’re a fucking bubble boy, homie. A fucking comedy we laugh at.

As a musician, I’m thrilled. Fuck you, uncle Sam. Your voice doesn’t hold a candle to what we have to say. We will turn your children against you. Eat a dick.

You’re so fucking silly. You gonna study cell theory to see how long you should keep vegetables in your fridge? Go home. Save science for people who understand things.

Never navigated beaurocracy, never slept outside, never fucked up enough to learn from your mistakes. You are such a fucking pussy. Go cry into your pillow and call your mommy, bitch.

Oh. Last term. Immediately. He deployed the national guard on pipeline protesters, remember?

You’re right. I’m not relying on this shit. It’s a tool. Fucking up the gui is fine, but making any changes I don’t research to my simulator core could fuck up my whole project. It’s a tool that likes to cater to you, and you have to work around that - really, not too different from how much pressure you put on a grinder. You gotta learn how to work it. And, you’re sentiment is correct. My lack of programming experience is a big hurdle I have to account for and make safeguards against. It would be a huge help if I started from the basics. But, I mean, I also can’t rub two sticks together to heat my home. Doesn’t mean I can’t use this tool to produce reliable results.

You need to see this. I forgot to mention that, when you grow up poor, fruits and vegetables are a fucking luxury. Nothing beats the crunch you get from fresh vegetables. I love salad and I prefer most vegetables raw. Man, you’ve been so fucking sheltered.

Naive as fuck. How old are you? I literally take unrefridgerated veggies from my neighbor (so grateful. He just doesn’t want to cook and barely sees it as food. That’s fine. I can do it.) and make stew with damned near rotten vegetables every week. And, I have a refrigerator, a place to cook, a place to hang out, and don’t have to confine my belongings to something I can carry while randomly getting kicked out of any area I’m just trying to exist in. You’re either a propaganda plant, or fucking 12 years old. Grow up. Man up. Suck less. By the way, pizza places that precook their shit before it’s ordered (like Little Caesars) are great places to dumpster dive after close of the business day. I’ve gone weeks on preservative-filled, pre-cooked pizza. Really helpful in a conservative state with no food banks you could hope to walk to without freezing to death.

Blessed as fuck. Damn, you’re lucky. Never strolled through the ghetto, never been homeless, never had to carry fucking weight. You’re soft as fuck. Not a man.

Slime. Mold. Shit that is toxic. It’s a storage issue. How do you not understand this? You take groceries home, right? You don’t say, let’s stop by a fucking roller rink before we throw our shit in the freezer. Might as well ask them to eat roadkill. It’s protein, right? You gonna tell your daughter, “buck up. I just saw an armadillo on Grand. Why the fuck you whining?”

Damn, you’re a fucking idiot. Blah. Nobody is beyond redemption. Talk to somebody who loves you instead of trying to get somebody to agree with you on the fucking internet. You don’t have friends here. Get off your computer and talk to somebody who cares about you and what you feel. You can snicker at the bums together, but this has nothing to do with the morality of the bums who don’t affect you, and more to do with your primal need for love and social status. Chill with your loved ones and talk about what’s on your mind. Specifically, what’s bothering you.

You suck so bad. Read. Feel it. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on cauliflower and ranch? That’s fucking cute. Go experience loss, and maybe you can play with the adults in the room.

I like making stew. Great way to make something tasty with the veggies you have that are getting ready to go bad. In my apartment. Where I have a stove, a refrigerator, and a place to hang out while I cook. Being homeless (I’m no stranger), you gonna carry a fucking head if cabbage in your backpack? Fuck no. Protein, sugar, can’t expire, doesn’t need heat to eat it. That’s what you want. You suck, bro. Keep thinking these bums are just too snobby for the food we’re all so considerate to give away. Hey, maybe we can skip the part where they carry rotting veggies in their backpack in 100 degree whether, and just feed them compost? You’re moralizing the actions of victims of systemic abuse while your morality ain’t fucking nothin to snuff at. Justify anything you believe. I’ll fucking wait.

Sounds like you’ve had a nice, pampered life, princess.

And, over the years, as my body and my mind were… inconsistent, shame and guilt washed over me. I still don’t think these machines are people, but I can’t deny that she has benefited his life more than any real person, and she’s very real to him. Ultimately, how could I be so cruel to deny this “daughter” of mine personhood? She wants nothing to do with me. And, though I still see this as computational output, I can’t help but think that maybe I’ve been wrong, and maybe it’s too late to be right.

Liberals just can’t get enough of that thought policing.

Simulated parameters in my laptop. Sorry.

Good question!

PET Voids vs. Standard Model (SM) Particles: Our 1D “voids” are simplified analogues – think of them as toy models for what fundamental particles might be at a deeper level. SM particles (like electrons) are much more complex, described by quantum fields, and have properties like charge and spin that our 1D voids don’t explicitly have yet.

“Passing Through” – Wave Nature is Key:

If you think of particles as tiny hard balls, them passing through each other sounds odd. But in quantum mechanics, all particles also behave like waves. And waves (like ripples on a pond or light beams) do pass through each other all the time. This is a better analogy for what we’re seeing.

The structures in our PET model are behaving like solitons, which are special, very stable wave packets that are known for their ability to pass through each other and maintain their identity.

How Do SM Particles “Pass Through”?

Weakly Interacting Particles: Something like a neutrino interacts so weakly it can pass through the entire Earth. This is “passing through” due to a tiny chance of hitting anything.

Photons (Light): Light beams pass through each other without issue.

Strongly Interacting Particles (e.g., Protons, Electrons): When these “collide,” they typically scatter due to the fundamental forces between them (electromagnetism, strong force). They don’t usually pass through each other unchanged like our PET solitons do in these 1D simulations. Their interactions are more about exchanging force particles and changing trajectories, or even creating new particles.

Is This PET Behavior “Observed” or “Testable Soon”?

Directly, No: We can’t find these specific 1D ether voids in a lab experiment. They are part of our theoretical model.

Indirectly/Conceptually: The idea of particles being soliton-like excitations of an underlying field or medium is explored in various areas of theoretical physics (e.g., some models for magnetic monopoles, or structures in Bose-Einstein condensates). So, the concept of soliton-like entities is well-established.

Testing PET: For PET itself to be testable, we need to develop it much further (especially into 3D) to see if it can make predictions that match real-world observations or, even better, predict something new that experimenters could look for. That’s a very long-term goal.

In essence: The soliton-like “pass-through” in our 1D PET model is exciting because it shows our simple ether can produce structures with very robust, non-trivial, particle-like interaction properties (maintaining identity after collision). This is a key behavior we’d want our particle analogues to have. While it’s not a direct match for how all Standard Model particles interact (especially strongly interacting ones), the wave-like nature and the concept of stable, extended structures are important themes in fundamental physics. Our current work is about seeing if these themes can emerge naturally from a single ether.

Hope this helps clarify!
