Same remarks as Section "Exam".

Definition not very nice, as it excludes X-ray crystallography, which is also photon based.

There are two main ways to try and reach AGI:Which one of them to take is of of the most important technological questions of humanity according to Ciro Santilli

There is also an intermediate area of research/engineering where people try to first simulate the robot and its world realistically, use the simulation for training, and then transfer the simulated training to real robots, see e.g.: realistic robotics simulation.

Every vector space is defined over a field.

E.g. in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$, the underlying field is $\mathbb{R}$, the real numbers. And in ${\mathbb{C}}^2$ the underlying field is $\mathbb{C}$, the complex numbers.

Any field can be used, including finite field. But the underlying thing has to be a field, because the definitions of a vector need all field properties to hold to make sense.

Elements of the underlying field of a vector space are known as scalar.

The financial industry does not serve society nowhere near its magnitude (London of course being the epitome of that). It serves only itself. It just grows without bound.
