Aplūkojam vienu no AI language model rīkiem, ChatGPT, ko matemātiķis var gūt no šādām AI sistēmām. Apskatām sarunas ar GPT, apskatām rekomendācijas, kādas dod gan pats GPT, gan ko izsecinām no prakses, GPT lietojot. Diskutējam par GPT spēju pierādīt matemātiskas teorēmas

MODEL OF PERSONALITY TRAITS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORTS TEACHERS

Modern trends in the development of education, increased professional requirements towards the personality of the teacher have necessitated forming the teacher's creative individuality and unlimited realization of his or her creative skills. Dealing successfully with the demands depends not only on the professionalism of the teacher but on his or her personality, in particular, on the teacher’s personal qualities. The aim of the research provided in this article was to develop a hypothetical model of professionally valued personality traits of the physical education and sports teacher of a general education institution and its experimental verification on the Georgian population. The research has shown that there is a certain difference between the hypothetical model and the personality traits obtained through the research. The experimental study conducted on the Georgian population has revealed seven key personality traits characteristic of the physical education and sports teacher: high level of rule-consciousness, high level of self-control, relaxed, socially boldness, emotional stability, and sensitivity. It has also been found that only a small number of teachers (38.8%) are open to change. A large proportion of the participants are characterized by low (28.2%) and average (50.4%) level of creativity

St. Nerses Shnorhali's historical poem "Lament of Edessa"

The paper is dedicated to the peak of the literary work of the notable Armenian spiritual worker of the Middle Ages, the outstanding poetik work of Nerses Shnorhali (1101-1173) - the poem "Edesa Lament" imbued with a patriotic spirit, written at the request of Apirat, the nephew of N. Shnorhali, the eyewitness of the defeat of the city of Edessa: in 1144. by deception and with extreme cruelty it was conquered by the amir of the city of Mosul, Imadeddin Zangi

On Overcoming the Alleged Alienation between Christianity and Physics

The difference of mindsets is considered the main cause of alienation between Christianity and Physics: trust in high cognitive value of ordinary experience and language (Christianity) versus estimated low cognitive value (Physics). The Catholic tradition encourages to trust into a high cognitive value of ordinary experience and language. As samples are presented a certain ambivalence intrinsic to the method of Physics and a logical mistake that has led to the concept of particle-wave dualism

ΓΝΩΘΙ ΜΑΘΗΜΑ (GNŌTHI MATHĒMA) Or What are the foundations of our thinking?

The words ΓΝΩΘΙ ΣΕΑΥΤΟΝ (Gnothi Seauton) are inscribed at the entrance to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi. The paraphrase ΓΝΩΘΙ ΜΑΘΗΜΑ we use to ask some questions in addressing the main question – what is the basis of our thinking

Could neuronal system and even GPT give rise to a computer with a variable arrow of time?

The discussions related to ChatGPT, which seems to work too well to be a mere program running in a classical computer, inspired considerations which led to a considerable progress at the level of the TGD based model of nerve pulse. The emerging model, based on zero energy ontology (ZEO), differs drastically from quantum neural networks and suggests a completely new vision of quantum physics based computation in biosystems. A computation allowing variable arrow of time would be in question involving a sequence unitary time evolutions as counterparts of quantum computations for states, which are superpositions of classical computations, followed by ”small” state function reductions (SSFRs) as counterparts of weak measurements of quantum optics and of Zeno effect. Also ”big” SFRs (BSFRs) changing the arrow of time would be involved. One can ask whether the unexpected success of GPT might involve this kind of transition so that one could say that spirit enters the machine. Besides the outcomes of two chats, I include a more detailed view about what the TGD view of the quantum analog of GPT could be and how its analog could be involved with the sensory perception in the TGD Universe. I also discuss the inverse diffusion process central for the generation of images from their verbal descriptions and ask whether the TGD analogue of the inverse diffusion could be an essential element of also GPT. I will also pose the question whether GPT could involve TGD based quantum physics, that is zero energy ontology (ZEO), in a non-trivial but hidden way. From quantitative constraints, such as the clock frequency of the computer as analog of EEG inducing temporal quantum coherence, I end up with a proposal for a mechanism realizing the quantum holography relating bits could be represented as holes pairing with dark bits represented as dark electrons at the magnetic flux tubes. Unfortunately, this mechanism does not look plausible for recent computers. I also ask whether quantum gravitation in the sense of TGD could make possible for the magnetic bodies of Earth and Sun, central in TGD inspired biology, to transform classical computation so that so that statistical determinism would fail and it would be analogous to a sequence of analogs of quantum computations defining a conscious entity. At the level of magnetic body there would be no essential difference between computers and living matter. The highest reported clock frequency of almost 9 GHz is still by a factor of order 1/8 lower than the quantum gravitational Compton frequency of 67 GHz for Earth but below the THz frequency important in living matter. Perhaps a rudimentary consciousness is already possibl

Modra Tenisona Zīmju semināra ieraksti

Piedāvājam Modra Tenisona Zīmju Semināra nelielus ierakstus. 1. daļa https://youtu.be/QFHdv2HTrhE 2. daļa https://youtu.be/SAyh0_vOdBk Modra Tenisona seminārs parasti bija sadalīts divās daļās, katrs no tā ap piecas stundas garš. Tas nebija viegli piecas stundas intensīvi darboties Modra vadībā, bet tie, kas to spēja izturēt, bija ļoti pateicīgi viņam par šo ievadīšanu neparastajā ornamentālistikas pasaulē. Sajā ierakstā tikai neliels pieskāriens tai atmosfērai, kāda valdīja šajos semināros. Šādi semināri notika ne tikai Latvijā. Tie tika rīkoti arī citās valstīs un pilsētās. Zināms, ka tādi notika Lietuvā, arī cituviet
