... if you wonder where I started to doodle the drawing of schröinger's cat in the klein bottle...

... It was on that non-linear regression visualization.

Just as I indulged in thinking about what this non-linear regression thing might depict in real life (hint: some non-linear causality stuff... so to speak.. errr... primarily conservation of momentum... ) I started to randomly draw a möbius strip.

And then I somewhat imagined a cat in that möbius strip and drew that cat body above the part of the möbius strip. (That's one of the pragmatic reasons why the cat is very dark there. The other reason is for pure aesthetical aspects... )

And then I had a cat floating in a möbius strip.

This led me to adding a klein bottle around the cat-möbius strip bundle.

This is literally recursive mindfucks...

The way this drawing of Schrödingers cat in a klein bottle emerged (process of creating it) is more art than the actual resulting artwork/drawing (the created/creation)

This train of thought partially reminds me of the aphorism:

'The whole is more than the sum of its parts, as it contains both the parts as well as the interaction patterns between the parts.'

The Only Connect final for 2024

In the blue corner, the Thrifters, three charity-shop fans.

In the red corner, the Also Rans, three Mastermind finalists seeking redemption a little later.

Both teams were tremendous. But which will win this nip-and-tuck match? And what is the appeal of Only Connect, a show with many viewers and next-to-no prize?

During World War II, fighter planes would come back from battle with bullet holes. The Allies found the areas that were most commonly hit by enemy fire. They sought to strengthen the most commonly damaged parts of the planes to reduce the number that was shot down.A mathematician, Abraham Wald, pointed out that perhaps there was another way to look at the data. Perhaps the reason certain areas of the planes weren’t covered in bullet holes was that planes that were shot in those areas did not return. This insight led to the amour being re-enforced on the parts of the plane where there were no bullet holes.The story behind the data is arguably more important than the data itself. Or more precisely, the reason behind why we are missing certain pieces of data may be more meaningful than the data we have. source - https://www.facebook.com/groups/413414438697407
