likely means infinite.We can try to understand the less obvious ones:ADP
: TODOPI
: TODOPROTON[c]
: presumably a measure of pHGLC[p]
: glucose, this can be seen by comparingminimal.tsv
withminimal_no_glucose.tsv
AMMONIUM
: ammonium. This appears to be the primary source of nitrogen atoms for producing amino acids.CYTOSINE[c]
: hmmm, why is external cytosine needed? Weird.

contains sequences of conditions for each time. For example:reconstruction/ecoli/flat/reconstruction/ecoli/flat/condition/timeseries/000000_basal.tsv
contains:which means just using"time (units.s)" "nutrients" 0 "minimal"
reconstruction/ecoli/flat/condition/nutrient/minimal.tsv
until infinity. That is the default one used byrunSim.py
, as can be seen from./out/manual/wildtype_000000/000000/generation_000000/000000/simOut/Environment/attributes/nutrientTimeSeriesLabel
which contains just000000_basal
.reconstruction/ecoli/flat/reconstruction/ecoli/flat/condition/timeseries/000001_cut_glucose.tsv
is more interesting and contains:so we see that this will shift the conditions half-way to a condition that will eventually kill the bacteria because it will run out of glucose and thus energy!"time (units.s)" "nutrients" 0 "minimal" 1200 "minimal_no_glucose"

genotype perturbations
: there aren't any in the file, but this suggests that genotype modifications can also be incorporated heredoubling time
: TODO experimental data? Because this should be a simulation output, right? Or do they cheat and fix doubling by time?active TFs
: this suggests that they are cheating transcription factors here, as those would ideally be functions of other more basic inputs
Ciro Santilli really likes this dude, because Ciro really likes simulation.
If you pass parallel light.
This notation is so confusing! People often don't manage to explain the intuition behind it, why this is an useful notation. When you see Indian university entry exam level memorization classes about this, it makes you want to cry.
The key reason why term symbols matter are Hund's rules, which allow us to predict with some accuracy which electron configurations of those states has more energy than the other.
web.chem.ucsb.edu/~devries/chem218/Term%20symbols.pdf puts it well: electron configuration notation is not specific enough, as each such notation e.g. 1s2 2s2 2p2 contains several options of spins and z angular momentum. And those affect energy.
This is why those symbols are often used when talking about energy differences: they specify more precisely which levels you are talking about.
Basically, each term symbol appears to represent a group of possible electron configurations with a given quantum angular momentum.
We first fix the energy level by saying at which orbital each electron can be (hyperfine structure is ignored). It doesn't even have to be the ground state: we can make some electrons excited at will.
The best thing to learn this is likely to draw out all the possible configurations explicitly, and then understand what is the term symbol for each possible configuration, see e.g. term symbols for carbon ground state.
It also confusing how uppercase letters S, P and D are used, when they do not refer to orbitals s, p and d, but rather to states which have the same angular momentum as individual electrons in those states.
It is also very confusing how extremelly close it looks to spectroscopic notation!
The form of the term symbol is:

After a translation between linear and physical address happens, it is stored on the TLB. For example, a 4 entry TLB starts in the following state:
valid linear physical
----- ------ --------
> 0 00000 00000
0 00000 00000
0 00000 00000
0 00000 00000
The
>
indicates the current entry to be replaced.And after a page linear address and after a second translation of
00003
is translated to a physical address 00005
, the TLB becomes: valid linear physical
----- ------ --------
1 00003 00005
> 0 00000 00000
0 00000 00000
0 00000 00000
00007
to 00009
it becomes: valid linear physical
----- ------ --------
1 00003 00005
1 00007 00009
> 0 00000 00000

TODO how to calculate
Big goals:
- the pursuit of AGI
- physics simulations, including scientific visualization software
- formalization of mathematics
For some reason, this is one of the things that makes Ciro Santilli want to puke the most. More than surgery or blood.
