Formal maths is not my strong point these days, so I’m reading this from a more abstract position, but it sounds like yet more pointers to systems being more than a sum of their parts.
Am I understanding it correctly?
This might just be my ignorance of the domain talking, but why would there be invariance across the form?
What’s the proposed rule beneath the rule of conformal invariance?
Am I just whimsy to be reminded of Armani-Hamed’s theories about particle scattering?
- raziel2701 5y agoI'm with you not being an expert and being unable to understand most of the lingo and the article. The conformal invariance example in the pictures spoke to me about the fractal nature in the universe. Fractality just keeps popping up in my readings and that may have colored my read of the article.
- mathgenius 5y agoYes, these when these models become critical (eg. where the distinction between liquid & gas goes away [1]) they form clouds of condensation at all scale sizes, so it is like a fractal.
