Ciro's Edict #7 Insane links and parents Updated 2025-07-16
You can now write:in lieu of the old:
<Blue cats> are nice.
= Blue cat
= Big blue cat
{parent=Blue cat}\x[blue-cat]{c}{p} are nice.
= Blue cat
= Big blue cat

And it sometimes says that the basic drawing thing you want to do is off the project's scope.
But as you learn more about it and further generalize the concepts, there are often reasonable reasons for those design choices.
And the UI looks good :-)

This is a really good project. So fun to play around with. Low level IO part only like drawing to screen and handling keyboard inputs.

Weak interaction Updated 2025-10-14
Explains beta decay. TODO why/how.
Maybe a good view of why this force was needed given beta decay experiments is: in beta decay, a neutron is getting split up into an electron and a proton. Therefore, those charges must be contained inside the neutron somehow to start with. But then what could possibly make a positive and a negative particle separate?
- the electromagnetic force should hold them together
- the strong force seems to hold positive charges together. Could it then be pushing opposite-charges apart? Why not? In any case this force doesn't seem to act on electrons, only quarks.
- gravity is too weak
www.thestargarden.co.uk/Weak-nuclear-force.html gives a quick and dirty:Also interesting:
Beta decay could not be explained by the strong nuclear force, the force that's responsible for holding the atomic nucleus together, because this force doesn't affect electrons. It couldn't be explained by the electromagnetic force, because this does not affect neutrons, and the force of gravity is far too weak to be responsible. Since this new atomic force was not as strong as the strong nuclear force, it was dubbed the weak nuclear force.
While the photon 'carries' charge, and therefore mediates the electromagnetic force, the Z and W bosons are said to carry a property known as 'weak isospin'. W bosons mediate the weak force when particles with charge are involved, and Z bosons mediate the weak force when neutral particles are involved.
