This un-syncing through the “phasing-out” technique was later pushed to its limits by modern composers such as Steve Reich (Piano Phase).

In “Sync”, Steven Strogatz shows how systems evolve from randomness to synchrony.
In music, some composers went the other way: from sync to un-sync.
A phasing-like idea, long before minimalism, already present in Beethoven’s Sonatas.
Maybe art’s tendency to defy form.

What are multi-agent systems with reinforcement learning, and why does "diversity" help them develop "collective intelligence"?
This Cambridge PhD thesis by M.Bettini offers a clear and insightful overview.

Si narra che un giorno Aristotele andò all’anagrafe 🏛️ per un certificato.
Imp.: Nome?
A.: Ἀριστοτέλης (Aristotele)
Imp.: Luogo di nascita?
A.: Stagira
Imp.: Anno?
A.: 384 a.C.
Imp.: Avanti… COSA??? 🤯

In un capitolo del suo "A spasso con il cane Luna" (lettura consigliatissima) @gVallortigara ci racconta dell'arcipelago St. Kilda "un luogo ai confini del mondo".

Come ha scritto Borges ("le rovine circolari" ) "Quel cerchio è un tempio che gli antichi incendi divorarono..."

Isn't it "surprising"? (another graphical solution to Kepler's equation)...
... So, planets moves as they do as if they were swung by a gigantic cosmic wave 😳...?!

«È sparito anche il vuoto» è una splendida (ma poco nota) poesia di #EugenioMontale. È stata usata come epigrafe dal fisico #GuidoTonelli in “L’eleganza del vuoto”. Dagli antichi filosofi, alla teoria quantistica dei campi.

The two blue and the red particles have opposite charges. Starting from the vertices of an equilateral triangle they move under Coulomb forces: blue-blue repulsion, red-blue attraction…
The resulting motion is beautifully unpredictable.

Today I noticed two new students sitting at the back of the classroom.
They didn’t seem very much captivated by my linear algebra lesson… (but… who knows?)

ex libro "De Papatopo et Fine Temporum"
Ultimus Papa praenuntiatus est per avem mures evomentem.
Calamitates secutae sunt: incendia, terrae motus, diluvia, siccitates, atque Intolerabilis Terrae Ardor.
Tunc, post gemitus multorum et noctes sine luna, apparuit Papatopus, salvator generis humani.

Consider an equilateral triangle and place three equal masses at the 3 vertices.
Are there points in the plane in which the net gravitational field is zero? (equilibrium pts or sort of Lagrangian pts)
The centroid? Yes! But there are 3 other equilibrium points! 😳

During a gravitational elliptic orbit, the path traced by tip of the velocity vectors (collected together as to have a common origin) is a circle!!! 😲
In general, the curve traced by the tip of the velocity vector of a moving body is called "Hodograph".
