Hi Jason, people, I will send my post on the Church-Turing thesis and incompleteness later. It is too long. So, let us proceed with the combinators. Two seconds of historical motivation. During the crisis in set theory, Moses Schoenfinkel publishes, in 1924, an attempt to found mathematics on

Realizable quantum states

2018-07-28 Thread agrayson2000
Up and Dn are realizable physical states for a spin 1/2 particle. Up - Dn, and Up + Dn are also realizable, that is physical states of a spin 1/2 particle, according to the QM formaliam. We can't measure the latter two states because, presumably, we can't imagine what they are. Not being able t
