I am commenting on the fact that these two statements are equivalent:
* This allowed him to draw conclusions along the lines of 99% of starting values greater than 1 quadrillion eventually reach a value below 200.
* This allowed him to draw conclusions along the lines of 99% of starting values greater than 1 quadrillion eventually reach 1.
yet the author used the first which seems weird
- pclmulqdq 4y agoThe paper's "200" comes from plugging "1 quadrillion" into Terence Tao's new theorem directly, and not applying any other results. I think they wanted to communicate only the meaning of the theorem, not the context around it.
