 AI on Evolution Algebras

On the characterization of the space of derivations in ...
Evolution algebras are a class of non-associative, commutative algebras that mathematically model non-Mendelian genetics, asexual reproduction, and Markov chains. They are defined by a "natural basis" where basis elements multiply to zero unless they are multiplied by themselves, in which case they produce a linear combination of other basis elements. [1, 2, 3]
Key Characteristics
  • Non-associative & Commutative: Unlike traditional associative algebras, the grouping of terms matters, but the order of multiplication does not (\(x \cdot y = y \cdot x\)).
  • Natural Basis: For an algebra \(E\) over a field \(\mathbb{K}\) with a basis \(\{e_1, e_2, \dots, e_n\}\), the multiplication table follows this exact structure:
    \(e_i \cdot e_j = 0\) (for \(i \neq j\))
    \(e_i \cdot e_i = \sum_{k=1}^n p_{i}^k e_k\)
  • Structure Matrix: The coefficients \(p_{i}^{k}\) form a structure matrix that uniquely defines the algebra's behavior. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Applications and Connections
  • Genetics: They provide a rigorous mathematical framework for studying the transmission of genetic traits, specifically in non-Mendelian inheritance where alleles self-reproduce.
  • Graph Theory: Evolution algebras map naturally to directed graphs (digraphs). Properties of the algebra, such as whether it is "nilpotent" (eventually vanishing), directly correspond to the absence of oriented cycles in its associated graph.
  • Markov Chains: They serve as a powerful tool in probability, directly modeling the state transitions of Markov chains. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Resources for Further Learning
To explore the formal mathematical properties, properties of the "evolution operator," and deep-dives into the underlying theory, consider looking into foundational literature. You can dive deeper into the mathematical framework by reading the UCI Mathematics Department Overview or by browsing the research compiled in the New Mexico State University Introduction to Evolution Algebras.

Computing and the Linguistic Turn

By

Enigma (Wikipedia) Symbolic analysis and statistical analysis were both approaches codebreakers took in breaking Enigma. The development of AI has also incorporated both approaches. One historical question for AI is why the dominance of Symbolic AI, associated here with the linguistic turn, from 1950 to 1990? Note the development of AI out of the Dartmouth Workshop and especially the contributions of one of its attendees,  Ray Solomonoff , to the statistical approach, an approach taken up by Marcus Hutter , a DeepMind  researcher, and of course, others. Note that a history of AI outside the linguistic turn from Moritz Hardt and Ben Recht is in Patterns, Predictions, and Actions . And note too that along with the difference between the symbolic and the statistical is the difference between language learning and computer vision, which tends to be a history outside the linguistic turn. And the turn Richard Sutton takes is to push learning outside the context of language, which ...

A Heidegger - Bayes Hybrid Model

By

A Conjecture for a Hybrid Model Bayesian epistemology concerns modelling and specifically, belief, but a Bayesian belief does not need to be fully formed to emerge alongside the Heideggerian to-hand. The Heideggerian to-hand thereby becomes the interaction that generates this further, which is, with this interaction, a certain realization of being in the world. Bayesian selection now concerns available beliefs as well as any to-hand [belief(s)].

A Question Regarding Number as the Assumed Basis of Mathematics

By
Conjecture: The historical analysis of the development of mathematics tends to lean on artifacts such as tally sticks and etch marks. Here, commerce serves as the basis of mathematics, and thereby, mathematics is grounded in the ability to count, which is implicitly understood to be the basis of commerce (fair exchange).  Development of Mathematics Question: What if distance becomes the basis of mathematics? How does this concept ground mathematics? Rather than assert that mathematics starts with counting, we assert instead that mathematics begins with the realization of distance? Do we then realize that number becomes a shorthand for distance in the abstract? Number Number ... Distance
