The impact of the work is greater when you examine what one single new technology would do to existing society, as in Primer (2004), rather than "start on a society with severl new technologies", like in Star Wars.

eigenvalue problem of Laplace's equation.

The period does depend on the initial height/angle, except for the very small angle approximation:

Unknown real developer name, claims to be from Canada on YouTube channel about: www.youtube.com/@TheBibitesDigitalLife/about, likely because he's a software developer and wants to keep his employer's claws away from his side project.

Appears to be closed source unfortunately, so not suitable for research.

Video 1. "What will happen after 100h of evolution? by The Bibites (2022)" mentions it was started five years ago, so circa 2017.

Appears to be Unity-based, if you download and extract for Linux you get files named UnityPlayer.so.

Author is named Leo Caussan in game credits at startup: www.linkedin.com/in/l%C3%A9o-caussan-560350136/, a Canadian software engineer.

Was not very Linux compatible: www.reddit.com/r/TheBibites/comments/vqk6ac/program_stalls_at_a_blue_screen/ Trying to run 0.5.0 leads to a blank screen after you click "start simulation".

TODO confirm, see also: coupled oscillators. And then this idea can be used to define/motivate quantum field theory in terms of quantum harmonic oscillators with second quantization.

Not possible directly without first creating an AMI image from snapshot? So annoying!

The hot and more expensive sotorage for Amazon EC2, where e.g. your Ubuntu filesystem will lie.

The cheaper and slower alternative is to use Amazon S3.

Or is real word data necessary, e.g. with robots?

Fundamental question related to Ciro's 2D reinforcement learning games.

Existence and uniqueness results are fundamental in mathematics because we often define objects by their properties, and then start calling them "the object", which is fantastically convenient.

But calling something "the object" only makes sense if there exists exactly one, and only one, object that satisfies the properties.

One particular context where these come up very explicitly is in solutions to differential equations, e.g. existence and uniqueness of solutions of partial differential equations.
