  1. Well I never hear of sesquation either. It is first through 3rd grade arithmetic. When you search for it on Google you have to search “sesquation in arithmetic.” I don’t know how they teach some of these models to early elementary kids. Sometimes it seems like they should stick to how we learned when I was in school. Sometimes these learning methods are harder to understand than the actual math problem. But this one checks out and I believe it could be really powerful in a series or testing keys in cryptography. I listed the example my friend gave me above. The formatting with the space didn’t stay making it hard to read. But Sesquation and quotation are a real thing. We spend are our lives studying math and an elementary kids can solve patterns we can’t hope to. I believe kids can see infinite patterns they just lack the ability to describe them. The answers to the universe are there they just haven’t developed enough yet to communicate them. In a future post I will show the example my friend gave me.
  2. Ok here is a new hypothesis. Not related to Prime numbers, but cryptography itself. I know it is a long shot. But it is just a thinking exercise. I must thank my good friend Wyatt for explaining sesquation and quotation to me. Even though I am still trying to learn how to spell them. Yes I didn't make up sesquation or quotation. They are actually a thing in math. I have never encountered them before. So if anyone knows any links describing them please let me know. I know my hypothesis is off the wall, but I am quite serious. I reiterate that I did not make up sesquation and quotation. This is the first I heard of them. I am only pointing out these simple methods have uses in cryptography and also multivariable equations. Yes I know it sounds like nonsense, but a one-way-function is not just solving an impossible pattern. Instead it can be approached as solving for more than one unknown variable. Sesquation: 2+3 = 5 2*3 = 6 5+6 = 11 11/2 = 5.5 Quotation: 2+3 4+6 = 10 4*6 = 24 10+24=34 34/4 = 8.5 Patterns? Simple enough but does it describe slope, derivation, cryptography, or Trurl's Method? Taking the values from the last tabulation of Quotation above: 34-8.5 = 25.5 25-10 = 15.5 ______ 10+18.5 = 18.5 34-18.5 = 15.5 The Hypothesis is that the methods of sesquation and quotation can solve equations of multiple unknowns, if we know the end values of these methods. It could also be used to solve polynomial equations if we treat the variable in the polynomial equation as separate variables as the variable of the equation is raised to different power. For example for the polynomial method of the equation: (((pnp^2/ x ) + x^2) / pnp) = 1; replace x^2 with an unknown variable (say z) and plug it into quotation. Yes you have to know multiple answers of the quotation, but in cryptography the user is given many wrong tries compared to one right answer. There are many incorrect answers to work with. The goal is to see how the cypher effects the variables. This means if the user can find a pattern where the values produced randomness, then maybe the message could be solved. Yes I now that these patterns are hidden by cryptographic hash, but I am referring to pattern of the open source equation of the public key cryptography.
  3. How do you know there is no credible threat? The media? Then it is psychological warfare. Trump’s reputation makes you think he is just bombing Iran to make America great again. I think it is strategic. Why let Iran build weapons till they are a significant threat? And what if you could reach a peaceful Iran? American Iranians were backing Trump. I know how the war looks and I don’t have access to military intelligence, but I don’t think Trump would start a war that would hurt the economy and kill thousands for no reason.
  4. This of a war of perception. Iran is limited military, but if the people of the World view it the way the authors of the thread do it will lessen the effects of the campaign. Trump is largely responsible because his own reputation is based on his antics. But it could very well be this war is justified. We’d never know. It is just like any political debate with 2 opposing sides that both claim to be correct. And innocent people kill each other.
  5. So I guess you guys don’t believe the nuclear material theory? I can’t understand the logic of this war. There must be something strategic or important. I mean why would Trump risk the economy unless he knew the economy would skyrocket after it ended? That is a risky gamble. And I don’t think he’d start a war based only on the fact that he has a stronger military. Because having more military might doesn’t mean your men don’t die and doesn’t mean swift victory. But as always this is my bs and comes with no scientific evidence.
  6. How many grams of astrophage is that?😉
  7. Dell Precision Tower 7910 Workstation 2x E5-2620 V3 6C 2.4Ghz 16GB 2TB NVS310 No OS I bought 2 of theses refurbished workstations just below $1600. But they had a dual purpose: to crunch numbers and backup my workstation. The hardware is the same so I took open source free software and now have 3 computers with Win7. Adobe shut the servers of Creative Suite authentication. I have the software but supposedly you’d have to hack it to install software you paid for. But in the Mac comparison you say my Mac is faster than the Xeon. These Xeons are from 2015, so it seems so. So does this mean my M1 MacBook Pro is a better number cruncher? My nephew didn’t advise me on the Dell 7910’s but he said a dedicated computer with a lot of ram. My guess is that he meant a Linux os and small footprint. So is the Mac still faster even though it has more resources spread across the os? There is a lot of information here. I’ll follow up later. I’ll explain what I was trying to crunch. And why I am interested in neutral networks. I’m glad to hear you say they can’t do math patterns. But they can do iterations of combinations right? Anyway I want to be the one in control when I sit behind the computer.
  8. I purchased 2 Xeon workstations for $800 each. They have 2 processors at 6 cores each. So that’s 12 cores. I am way behind on modern computers because I find the new computers lack useful software. That is my opinion that modern software is not useful. I know there is a lot of free software, but the user experience for purchased software is bad. But my figuring was to use the Xeon servers to crunch numbers. But a web search leads to AI and it says graphics cards are for bitcoin and Ai because the cores process smaller matrices faster. My question is why can’t a Xeon 12 cores crunch better than a graphics card? I’m sure Intel is wondering the same thing. There is a market for someone to solve Intel’s problem. I would like to see a return of older computer models of design. I want a computer that does what I tell it, not where I ok it to make changes to my computer that I don’t know where it is changing. Basically I want a Ai that can be trained on traditional processors. Of course I don’t have the knowledge of how a CPU or GPU actually work, but maybe it could be as simple as organizing tasks. I have done a little research and parallel processing is hard to adjust in simple programs. For instance when programming a math algorithm someone posted to a search that led to Reddit, it is more efficient to let the computer it self to decide how to utilize the cores. This again is the trend to let the computer do the thinking. BTW Mathematica now supports over 5 cores on a software reinstall. Do you think I spent my $1600 on the Xeon workstations wisely? I mean I can’t afford a graphics card that costs as much as a car. And I don’t want to crunch numbers blindly. By that I mean is I can edit Mathematica. I don’t want to train a GPU with my equations, have it write a program, and have it give me a number. Am I just old? Will future processors be built for something other than Ai?
  9. I know the answer from Ai, but I don’t know the reason traditional processors can’t out perform a Nvida graphics card with 4 times the cores. I looked at on of the graphics cards and it was $5,000. But I think there is a demand here. If someone can utilize the traditional processors for better parallel processing than Nvida they would save the pc industry. Of course I am not on board with Ai. It makes changes to the computer while you program with it. But I can’t ignore it. I just don’t understand why traditional processors can’t be as efficient.
  10. Just because someone meets Epstein and is 1 degree away doesn’t mean they committed a crime. Epstein is zero degrees from himself. He is Epstein. But what if you met him again. So you are now 1/2 degrees from Epstein. Meet him 5 times and you are 1/5 degrees from Epstein. The more you meet him the more you where aware of what’s going on.
  11. You are right. I was generalizing. I am unsure of the whole diagnosis of autism. I’m against labels and certain statistics. That is why I mentioned in an earlier post that I would like to take the same test as was used in the study. I have learned statistics are important and we have to classify such things, but like Kristin Barnett I think they are failing autistic children. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi wrote a few books on Flow and creativity. No stats in either book just descriptions of creative people. I imagine that he did have statics and data when interviewing Nobel Laterite's, scientists, and artists, and average people. The statics could be dangerous. Well I will leave it to you guys to decide if you believe such stats are dangerous. But in just my own opinion a prodigy with autism would be studied for their gift while others would be left behind. But I don’t think the study of this thread is necessarily bad. It makes you view autism objectively. (the stereotypes) I did think “prodigy” when hearing a person does have autism. But I caution labeling people.
  12. I like the way you’re thinking. Have you ever read anything by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi? He talks about creativity as an experience the user is not in control of. Anything could be creative. That includes religious experiences. What if autism had similar traits to Mihaly’s Flow? The user is not in control and their brain is processing whatever is in their environment. The thought is profound; maybe even genius, but as you say it is not communicated or recorded. All we see is weird movements. I believe all minds are capable of genus thought. It is realizing their value and sharing them. And a little off topic but still worth mentioning, I believe our advantage over Ai is this realization of the value of our ideas.
  13. Well I haven’t seen any updates of Jake Barnett. You are right he still has autism but he is highly functional. And he is the stereotypical genius. This video has been out several years. He must be grown by now. But I think for listening to the book his mother trying to communicate with him made the difference. The stereotype of autism is those people are good at math. But he describes it as find math everywhere. He was doing calculations with Cheerios. I am not a psychologist but maybe autism is a hyper concentration on something. So focused that they can’t communicate causing behaviors. It would explain why they excel in some areas and not others.
  14. I agree. Their genus is lost if they can’t utilize it or explain their ideas. The YouTube link I posted is a rare case where the child “snapped out of” autism. His mom found a way to communicate with him. The book is called The Spark by Kristine Barnett.
  15. I wasn’t being flippant in my previous post. Becoming a Luddite is only part of the problem. AI is a weapon. We are debating its effects on education, but that is only one effect on the psychological warfare aspect. I agree with whatever posted that it is addictive. It is like playing Nintendo while you have homework. https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/02/1133850/openais-compromise-with-the-pentagon-is-what-anthropic-feared/amp/
  16. I think they should have provided the tests they used on the study. Show me how you evaluated then show me the stats. I have read about a boy that didn’t speak, so his mom tried to communicate with him in his “language.” Not every autistic person is a genius, but they may not appear smart because they can’t communicate. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OR36jrx_L44&pp=ygURa2lkIGdlbml1cyBhdXRpc20%3D
  17. I agree with the majority of the posts here. AI has its uses, but clearly some groups are weaponizing it to destroy society. And the data centers, the only reason I can think of why they need to be built is to control Trump’s middle defense. Maybe it will also work on asteroids. It is like the irony in Mutual Assured Destruction where more bombs make us safer. Let’s have a computer that learns (rips of your intellectual property), can make thousands to your one to insure you work more productivity. Your job is more productive and the more AI can do the more job security you have.
  18. This is just scratch work. It is not in working form. However it is my attempt to write a trap door function. The problem is the enciphering of the message that needs encrypted. Also I do not know if the one way function can be mathematically difficult. The encryption part is not the numbers of the odometer itself. Instead I am trying to use the numbers between the odometer reading. For example how many digits change between 2 readings. My approach here is linear, but there is no reason the odometer readings could not be set to some sort of pattern maybe even out of order. This was confusing to create. It could be wrong. And it may have flaws easy to defeat, but hard to design. So bare with me if it is nonsense. I am completely serious. I just wanted to get feedback, because writing it it makes sense, but the question I need to know is if it is mathematically possible. Now that I have written this idea out. And that is all it is, an idea, I need to research trap door functions. This is how I envision the Enigma Machine or M205 working. However they were not public key. So if you care to comment or list other trap door functions, reply. Take the odometer problem where at least 2 digits repeat and you may be able to create a trap door function. The public key would be the number of digits of the length of the odometer numbers. If you add this key to the message then this new odometer reading is the encrypted message. The private key is a lower number on the odometer. This number is subtracted from the public key and subtracted from the larger encrypted odometer. This gives the unencrypted message. ________________________________ Second Method: Public key is a random odometer reading. The message is encoded using this random odometer reading. The private key is a random odometer reading, which the distance between the public key random odometer reading is known. The private odometer knows the distance between the private and public key. The difference minus the public key reveals the public key.
  19. These numbers are not Prime. I am saying that the repeating digits within each number repeats. It is easy to see but if you look for a series that determines where the numbers have 2 or more like digits finding the pattern from one to infinity would be difficult. I don’t know if it would be a one way function. 119911 minus 119898 equals 13 These are ordinary numbers. They stand alone; not from the previous work. I use these numbers to show that a linear pattern would also be hard to find. As a pattern in Prime numbers could be impossible with similar approaches. 4 ones 2 nines. What is the next number that will have digits that repeat at least once. Looking at it is easy but an equation that describes it is not. The numbers come from my odometer.
  20. 119898 119911 119919 Numbers with 2 or more like digits. Seems easy enough to see but could you put a pattern in order from smallest to greatest? I believe finding a linear pattern in Prime numbers has similar difficulties. Second challenge: How did I derive these 3 numbers. Hint: A truck driver would know instantly but a mathematician might think the numbers are random.
  21. My question is does the electric company turn a profit? In my state utilities companies govern themselves. We have no idea what their expenditures are and how they figure what to charge. It would be hard to compare to other countries. Maybe compare the environmental resources used to the total utilities used a year. I heard about the resources a person uses versus the number of acres of resources per person on the show Explorations. For example someone in the US could pay less for the same amount of resources used by someone in Africa. And at the same time pay less while consuming more energy.
  22. Awesome. Especially recreating the speed of light experiments. To me light is the one thing that would make scientists believe in creation. I don’t know if the Bible explains time and what the light of distant stars says when it reaches Earth, but from my studies of the Bible I haven’t read anywhere that would conflict with all the facts you stated. Of course I know no one agrees with how the universe was created. I just think that scientists want to figure it out themselves.
  23. But is our time dependent on motion? I know that time is different in different locations. But it is still based on the speed of light. Is there any other way to look at the speed of light and say it is moving faster than the other location. I don’t understand it but couldn’t have Einstein solve any other way than clocks at different speeds. I put this in religion to debate time. The universe at rest where no time occurs because it is static. In Genesis God speaks the world into existence. I know that sounds like nonsense. Words don’t equal motion. But words are vibrations. What if God spoke in strings and caused vibrations throughout the universe? But that is just a thought. My main question is why is everything based on the speed of light. Has anyone in this forum tried to replicate the experiments that measure the speed of light? It should be a YouTube challenge. But what if we are missing something important in the spectrum of light? I don’t know what it is. We did not invent them but their definitions are based on our perception. I read a book called “The Planiverse.” The whole book was about two different worlds trying to understand each other. Both worlds had science the other couldn’t understand or relate to in their own world. Agreed. I just wanted to debate time. Like Moz on the tv show White Collar said, “We have time so everything does not happen all at once.”
  24. I had an abstract thought as I sometimes do and was wondering why does the universe have to begin? Is there a distinction between when humanity begins and when everything began? Isn’t our time based on the speed the Earth rotates? And all our time is compared to the speed of light. In SI units a second is the distance light travels. And why must there always be a beginning? I have seen arguments on this forum showing why infinity times infinity still equals infinity. So even if the universe did begin isn’t that infinity. In between 2 times isn’t the distance infinity? My point is that did we invent time to explain our world or is it based on observations. And if it is based on observations can we rely on it to explain and apply to physics? I think it was on this forum that some ask if math was created or discovered. Is time this way? I post this in religion because I believe time determines religious beliefs. It is how we experience the world. And some scientists believe that the World could not be created in 7 days. Time is also how the World works. But what if there was no time?
  25. I just wanted to post a conclusion to this work. I just wanted to note I use PNP Approximate divided by PNP to find where y on the graph equals 1 to find the corresponding value at x which is the smaller factor. I could use PNP Approximate minus PNP to find x where y on graph equals zero Or PNP Approximate equals y where x at y is the smaller factor I believe it works or else I wouldn’t have posted it. But it is more than if it works it has to be efficient to be useful. I believe AI shows it works with smaller numbers. The number crunching problem is if you can find where y equals one on the graph for a 600 digit number. But even if that isn’t efficient new approaches have showed a different approach.
