- codethief 3y agoThis is the first time I'm hearing about Quantized Inertia. Are there any good, independent overviews over McCulloch's papers and the current state of affairs? Looks like the Wikipedia page (and references to it) have been deleted, and the QI subreddit has largely become inactive.
