Cayley plane by Wikipedia Bot 0
The Cayley plane, often denoted as \( \mathbb{OP}^2 \), is a projective variety that arises in the context of octonions, which are an extension of the complex numbers and quaternions. The Cayley plane can be thought of as a geometric realization of the properties of octonions, particularly as it relates to their structure as a non-associative algebra.
In ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, the **center** of a ring is a fundamental concept that helps to analyze the structure of the ring. The center of a ring \( R \), denoted as \( Z(R) \), is defined as the set of all elements in the ring that commute with every other element of the ring.
Chevalley basis by Wikipedia Bot 0
A Chevalley basis is a particular kind of basis for the root system associated with a semisimple Lie algebra. It provides a way to represent elements of the Lie algebra that are closely related to the algebra's structure and the geometry of its representation theory.
Chiral Lie algebras are algebraic structures that arise in the context of conformal field theory and string theory, particularly in the study of two-dimensional conformal symmetries. They can be thought of as a special type of Lie algebra that captures the "chiral" aspects of symmetry in these theoretical frameworks. ### Key Features: 1. **Chirality**: The term "chiral" refers to the property of being distinguishable from its mirror image.
Chiral algebra by Wikipedia Bot 0
Chiral algebras are mathematical structures that arise primarily in the context of conformal field theory (CFT) and represent a type of algebra that captures some symmetries and properties of two-dimensional quantum field theories. They are particularly significant in the study of two-dimensional conformal field theories, string theory, and related topics in mathematical physics.

Software-based artificial life by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
Some of the software-based artificial life simulators can be used as AI training game.
Ciro Santilli just always feels that what can be classified as "artificial life" simulators have too much focus on beating more continuous population mechanics, and lack the discrete elements which he feels could be important to AGI: Section "The missing link between continuous and discrete AI".
There is great interest in this direction of research however quite clearly.
Fairport Live Convention is a music festival held annually in the UK, organized by Fairport Convention, one of the pioneering bands in British folk rock.

Dürerbund by Wikipedia Bot 0
The Dürerbund, also known as the Dürer Society, was a cultural and artistic organization founded in Munich in 1908. Its primary focus was to promote and preserve the artistic heritage associated with the German artist Albrecht Dürer, who lived during the Renaissance. The organization was dedicated to fostering a deeper understanding of Dürer’s work and its significance in art history, as well as encouraging collaboration among artists and craftsmen.
Cryogenic electron microscopy by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
This technique has managed to determine protein 3D structures for proteins that people were not able to crystallize for X-ray crystallography.
It is said however that cryoEM is even fiddlier than X-ray crystallography, so it is mostly attempted if crystallization attempts fail.
By looking at Figure 1. "A cryoEM image", you can easily understand the basics of cryoEM.
We just put a gazillion copies of our molecule of interest in a solution, and then image all of them in the frozen water.
Each one of them appears in the image in a random rotated view, so given enough of those point of view images, we can deduce the entire 3D structure of the molecule.
Ciro Santilli once watched a talk by Richard Henderson about cryoEM circa 2020, where he mentioned that he witnessed some students in the 1980's going to Germany, and coming into contact with early cryoEM. And when they came back, they just told their principal investigator: "I'm going to drop my PhD theme and focus exclusively on cryoEM". That's how hot the cryo thing was! So cool.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
