Dear Dr Cosmic Ray ,
Your approach hasn't false in fact .Personally I noted 8,I have voted perhaps 10 times,and always I read a paper , and it was sincerely because you and Lawrence are two mavericks and your extrapolations are very relevant even if I don't agree with some ideas like multiverses ,extradimensions ,strings ,higgs ,Lie algebra.All that isn't sufficient and too much mathematical without the real limits .Now of course all can be synchronized with the physical laws .
I have learned a lot with both of you since I have known FQXi.
My vision of your work is simple ,the imaginaries and the extrapolations must be physicals .The thermodynamic is essential in my opinion .
The complexs too need limits ,without limits ,it's infinite and the physicality don't need that .
About the contest ,I am surprising by some comportments ,like a game ,it's sad .But it's not important in an universal point of vue ,but on Earth indeed ,some systems are bizarres .If the strategy becomes a machiavellism like a play of chess ,it's sad .There I don't understand this human nature .
My conclusion about these contests ,
in resume 15 per cent of fundamentals and conscious
30 per cent in the imaginaries
40 per cent with a mix of fundamenatsl and theories where???
10 to 90 hihih per cent of business practices
5 per cent of jokes
HIHIH dear Ray you you are in the two first lines ,with 85 per cent in the first line and 15 in the imaginaries
Best Regards
Steve
