On Intelligence and Limits

Authors: Tariq Khan
Comments: 4 Pages.

A short informal philosophical essay proposing an algorithmic framework or a matrix of steps that define intelligence. Thus, it is argued that the human genome system (DNA) can be considered intelligent as well as gene pools of organisms in Nature. Concepts like minds, the multiverse, and even the existence of the past, are proposed as derivative of an existential algorithm of intelligence.

Not Your Father's Physics

Authors: Peter Cameron
Comments: 14 Pages. Essay written for the APS 2024 history of physics competition.

Two essential conceptual structures - impedance quantization and geometric representation of Clifford algebra - were lost in physics. Background independent analysis of Mach’s principle makes possible calculation of quantum impedance networks of wavefunction interactions in the background independent geometric representation. Their synthesis fills gaps in the history of physics.

How the Simulation Hypothesis Answers, "Why the Quantum?"

Authors: Tariq Khan
Comments: 4 Pages.

A short essay suggesting that the nature of computer programs, involving structure and sequence, may be a direct analogy to quantum mechanical canonical pairs e.g., the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle with position and momentum, thus supporting the Simulation Hypothesis that our reality is a programmed simulation. Additional examples are provided from modern physics that support the Simulation Hypothesis and an idea is proposed where conscious minds are synonymous with a computer gate residing at the boundary of future and past existing to constantly create relations.
