    Hey, I used Macsyma, a MIT based algebra system, in the late 1970s (I was an undergrad at Hopkins and then grad at MIT). I used that for complex PDEs. It was not based in neural net but symbolic manipulation. It was grant from ARPA and three Professors developed, Joel Moses, Carl Engelman and William Martin, all at MIT.

    The thing to consider is that this is just two models working in concert together. Imagine what happens when they start training a model for each specific math domain. Then you mixture of experts them. With a really really creative (playing with the attention values) LMM as the head model over seeing the agent work flow. You can already do this with coding agents to get them to build software on a local machine. I'd be very curious to see what a MOEMM (mixture of experts maths model) would be capable of solving if it had the knowledge domains of geometry, calculus, trig, and probably more.

      @Anton_Sh. I am going to assume you mean Go the game here. Go has a well-defined set of rules that limit total possible moves at any given state. Something like coding even when narrowly defined has nearly infinite, if not in most cases, infinite possible "next moves" to carry the Go example forward. While yes, an individual block of code can be spat out by AI, such code once expanded on beyond the simplest of tasks rather quickly falls apart. No grand unified theory of programming that can be used to prove every or even most solutions right or wrong exists, nor will it ever.

    Computers don't get tired so when at some point AI is close enough to human performance, scaling it is trivial by just adding more nodes to the cluster. When the AI is able to teach itself and create better versions of itself, we don't even need to do much to make it better anymore. We are not there yet, but I could easily see how AI might replace humans almost completely in this type of domain in say 50 years. Same for tasks like programming, any kind of planning and optimisation, probably engineering generally.

      Predicting Galaxy Rotation Curves: A Test for the Variable Atomic Mass Model
      Introduction: The variable atomic mass model presents a novel perspective on the relationship between matter and the energy density of space, offering a potential explanation for the observed anomalous galaxy rotation velocities. This model proposes a deep connection between atoms and the surrounding spacetime energy field, suggesting that atoms capture energy from space and convert it into force, which in turn enables atomic processes to perform work functions. The model posits that atomic processes, including mass, are products of this work, and that the mass of atoms is not constant but varies depending on the energy density of the spacetime energy field. Respectively, General Relativity's spacetime geometry is interpreted as depicting a variable energy density contour of space, dependent upon proximity to gravitating bodies.
      According to this model, the energy density of space is influenced by the distribution of matter, such as stars and galaxies. In regions with a higher concentration of matter, the atoms deplete the available energy from the spacetime energy field, resulting in a lower energy density. Conversely, in regions with a lower concentration of matter, the energy density is higher. This interplay between matter and the space energy field creates a non-uniform distribution of energy across different regions of a galaxy.
      The variable atomic mass model further suggests that atomic mass is an evolved property that facilitates the formation of cosmological bodies. This idea aligns with the principles of Darwinian evolution, where entities evolve to express collective cooperative behaviors.
      One of the key implications of the variable atomic mass model is its potential to explain the observed galaxy rotation curves without the need for dark matter. In conventional models, the rotation velocities of stars and gas in the outer regions of galaxies are expected to decrease with increasing distance from the galactic center. However, observations have shown that these velocities remain nearly constant, implying the presence of additional unseen matter. The variable atomic mass model addresses this discrepancy by proposing that the mass distribution within a galaxy is not solely determined by the visible matter but also depends on the distribution of atomic mass, which varies according to the energy density of the spacetime energy field.
      The relationship between the distribution of stars, the energy density of the spacetime energy field, and the resulting variable atomic mass is central to the predictions of the variable atomic mass model. By considering these factors, the model aims to provide a comprehensive explanation for the observed galaxy rotation curves and other related phenomena. In this article, we will present a step-by-step explanation of how the variable atomic mass model predicts galaxy rotation curves and propose a means of falsifying the model through observational tests.
      Step 1: Star Distribution Function.The variable atomic mass model begins by considering the distribution of stars within a spiral galaxy. The model assumes that the average distance between stars increases by the square of the distance from the galaxy center. This relationship can be expressed mathematically as a star distribution function, ρ(r), which is inversely proportional to the square of the radial distance from the galactic center:
      ρ(r) ∝ 1/r^2
      This means that the density of stars decreases as one moves away from the galactic center.
      Step 2: Energy Density Contour.The model further proposes that the energy density contour of the spacetime energy field, ε(r), is inversely proportional to the star distribution function. In other words, the presence of matter (stars) depletes the energy density of the surrounding space. Mathematically, this relationship can be expressed as:
      ε(r) ∝ 1/ρ(r) ∝ r^2
      As a result, the energy density of the spacetime energy field increases with the square of the distance from the galactic center.
      Step 3: Time Dilation and Atomic Mass.The variable atomic mass model posits that time dilation effects are coupled to the proximity of galactic masses and that atomic mass is directly linked to these time dilation effects. By virtue that Time Dilation is an indication of varying levels of atomic work being done, and varied atomic mass is a product of that varied atomic work. Specifically, the model suggests that atomic mass increases as stars become more spread out from each other in the galaxy. This relationship can be expressed as:
      m(r) ∝ ε(r) ∝ r^2
      where m(r) represents the atomic mass as a function of the radial distance from the galactic center.
      Step 4: Mass Distribution in the Spiral Galaxy Disk By combining the star distribution function and the atomic mass function, the model predicts the mass distribution within the spiral galaxy disk. The mass distribution, M(r), is proportional to the product of the star distribution function and the atomic mass function:
      M(r) ∝ ρ(r) × m(r) ∝ (1/r^2) × r^2 ∝ constant
      Remarkably, this relationship suggests that the mass distribution within the galaxy disk is constant or flat.
      Prediction: The variable atomic mass model predicts that the rotation velocities of stars and gas within a spiral galaxy will deviate from the expected Keplerian decline based on the visible matter distribution alone. Instead, the model predicts that the rotation velocities will remain constant or flat with increasing radial distance from the galactic center. This prediction is a direct consequence of the flat mass distribution derived from the model.
      Falsification: To falsify the variable atomic mass model's prediction of flat galaxy rotation curves, we propose the following observational tests:
      High-precision measurements of galaxy rotation curves:
      Conduct extensive observations of a diverse sample of spiral galaxies across a range of distances and environments.
      Utilize spectroscopic techniques to measure the rotation velocities of stars and gas at various radial distances from the galactic center.
      Compare the observed rotation curves with the predictions of the variable atomic mass model.
      If the observed rotation curves consistently deviate from the model's predictions, it would falsify the model.
      Gravitational lensing analysis:
      Examine gravitational lensing data from galaxy clusters and individual galaxies.
      Assess whether the observed lensing effects are consistent with the predicted flat mass distribution of the variable atomic mass model.
      If the lensing data cannot be explained by the model and instead require the presence of additional mass (e.g., dark matter), it would falsify the model.
      Comparison with alternative models:
      Compare the predictions of the variable atomic mass model with those of alternative models, such as modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) or dark matter models.
      Assess the relative success of each model in explaining the observed galaxy rotation curves and other gravitational phenomena.
      If alternative models consistently outperform the variable atomic mass model in terms of explanatory power and predictive accuracy, it would raise doubts about the validity of the model.
      Conclusion: The variable atomic mass model provides an approach to explaining the anomalous galaxy rotation velocities observed in spiral galaxies. By proposing a relationship between the distribution of stars, the energy density of the spacetime energy field, and the resulting variable atomic mass, the model predicts flat galaxy rotation curves. However, the model's predictions must be rigorously tested against observational evidence to establish its validity. High-precision measurements of galaxy rotation curves, gravitational lensing analysis, and comparisons with alternative models offer avenues for falsifying the model. If the observational data consistently contradicts the model's predictions, it would necessitate a revision or abandonment of the variable atomic mass hypothesis. Conversely, if the model's predictions are found to be in agreement with observational evidence, it would motivate further theoretical and experimental investigations into the nature of the spacetime energy field and its impact on the structure and dynamics of galaxies.

    Very interesting, if the Ai is to be extended into other areas of maths I can foresee a couple of snags 1) Could it be that proof becomes so long and tedious that it would be impossible for a human to check it , and if we could not check it how would we know if the machine is lying? 2) Mathematics is essentially a creative process and humans are great at thinking outside the box. For example take the invention of complex numbers using the letter "i" to stand for a number that does not exist is an idea that appears to have no purpose but we know how useful it is when it's possibilities are explored. The idea of exploring such barren areas is a human trait and difficult to mimic in machines.

      on point 1, many mathematicians would not consider such a proof to be a proof at all. I agree though my opinion probably doesn't count for much. But the point of a mathematical proof is not to find out if something is true or not, it's to explain why. A mathematician's job is to understand the essence of a problem so that they can prove it clearly and succinctly in a way that is understandable and obvious when read. In other words, if you need 10000 pages to prove something, then you haven't actually understood it, your proof doesn't actually explain it, and it is not a proof. Perhaps you could say that you have discovered that the theorem is true, and maybe that's fine, as like an empirical fact, but mathematically you have not proved it. There was a debate when I was studying about about the classification of simple groups proof. Some people had claimed to have done it. But the proof was split over hundreds of seperate papers and no one person understood or had even read them all. My professors opinion was that they "had given no evidence that it has been proved". A proof is something that a person can read and understand.
      On point 2, I agree what everyone is missing with alphageometry is that pretty much the only "construction" it ever does is adding midpoints. You could get alphageometry level performance without AI by just listing the constructions that people do when doing geometry (bisect this angle, drop that perpendicular line, etc, there's like 50 constructions max in total), and brute forcing them, and it wouldn't even need a crazy amount of compute. The AI is maybe a bit more efficient but it isn't doing anything that automated theorem provers couldn't do before. In other domains, where the "constructions" are not this limited set but are actually infinite, it will be very different.

      There are already AI generated proofs (or proofs where such a system has been used to assist human mathematicians) and those proofs are indeed often very hard to read. As of now these proofs are only accepted after a couple of experts proofread it and this will change about as slowly as letting AI drive cars. I also think that the ingenuity required to come up with new concepts or laying a good axiomatic foundation for a new field will probably take the longest time for AI to achieve.

      @@andyd568 sure, but it often swings both ways. Sometimes converting business problems into a mathematical solution might seem trivial, but let me give you two examples, just from the top of my head.
      I recently tackled an issue where my stochastic gradient boosting tree model was taking weeks to run due to the sheer volume of data. To address this, I used a genetic algorithm to optimize the initial parameters. Basically, I let the genetic algorithm search through a multi-dimensional space to find an optimal starting point that would yield good prediction results right off the bat. This significantly cut down the time needed by ensuring the model started from the most effective point possible.
      Another time, I needed to implement a simple S-curve for a robot. Initially, I experimented with a sine function within a polygon, but it wasn’t giving me the control of the curvature I needed. I switched to using a Bézier curve, which offered much better control over the curve’s shape. Due to memory constraints on the microcontroller, I had to pre-calculate the curve instead of computing it on the fly, since handling a lot of floating points in real-time was problematic.
      Both of these solutions might sound straightforward, but structuring and implementing them, even for 'simple' business problems, was far from trivial, and just having some llm writing classes and functions did speed up the delivery a 100 times I believe.

      It's a bit different. I can't understand your calculation of the magnitude of the vector unless I understand pythagoras. However I can understand the geometric calculations written by alphageometry without knowing any linear algebra. The linear algebra isn't part of the calculation, it's only used to guess what the calculation could be.
      It's more in line with how Archimedes used physics to suggest formula for the volumes of different shapes. He'd first make the shapes out of wood or something, then stick it in water, measure the displacement of the water, and then get data on the volume like that. Then he'd use that data to guess a formula for the volume, and then he'd try to prove that the formula is correct using geometry. Once he found the proof, that was all that was written down. The physics part was just a part of finding the proof, but not a part of the proof.

    There's only really one question one needs to ask to know whether AlphaGeometry is a step forward: If you were to make a list of all of the geometrical constructions that have ever been made in high school geometry (drop a perpendicular, add a midpoint etc), how long would that list be, and what would the algorithmic complexity be of brute forcing that list? Because if a computer can run that algorithm, then alphageometry is at best a speedup. But I personally think that list of constructions wouldn't be more than 100 things, and on diagrams with fewer than 100 lines/curves, I cannot imagine that training and running a billion+ parameter LLM network is more efficient than brute forcing it. And if that's the case then automated theorom provers are still state of the art and we've just added a really expensive "speedup".
    For context, we know that just adding midpoints together with the deduction engine would already get you to above the average student's performance and very close to alphageometry. And you can do that without any AI. I suspect that just a handful of constructions would probably already beat it.

  • @mndtr0

    I agree. It's kinda a tool which can manipulate already formalized maths. Some kind of improved brute force (but it's not brute force but hope you get what I mean). But unsolved maths is not formalized yet so AI can't solve it while has no human-like intuition...

    • @neildutoit5177
      @neildutoit5177 Před 2 měsíci +1

      It could be brute force. the inferences are all brute force. The only not-brute-force part is choosing constructions. And the vast majority of those constructions that it chose were just adding midpoints to segments. If you listed the 10 most common constructions, like dropping a perpendicular or bisecting an angle etc, and brute forced them, you'd get the same performance as this AI. Might be slightly less efficient. But very much doable.
      I do think unsolved math is "formalized" but I think the point is that it usually requires the creation of new constructions not yet thought of, or a selection of constructions from an infinite space.

    I mean, we all know the answer. I'm 52, and here's what I remember about the past several decades' prevailing wisdom regarding AI. Everyone, and I mean everyone, thought that human creativity would be the very last thing AI could learn to do, if ever. And it turned out that the creative fields were among the first to be surpassed by AI, as it works just like human creativity. It mathematically deconstructs all of the samples that preceded it and then kit-bashes them back together in new syntheses. Maths were expected to be among the first things to go the way of the dodo in terms of job opportunities.
    I am a housepainter. I enjoy some life of the mind, as a history and philosophy buff and a self-taught programmer, and I do those things because I find them personally rewarding. Programming is not unlike woodworking, it's just that in the end, your product exists in abstraction and the materials (electrons) are dirt cheap. My suggestion to anyone in a professional field that is going to be overtaken by AI sooner or later is to not define yourself with one interest or one role, and in particular not with a professional role. Of any kind. Or you'll be left with nothing.

      I an questioning whether AI has been able to be creative. One of my close friends is an AI entrepreneur and he constantly shows me his most recent inventions and points me to those of others. I am completely gobsmacked by the product designs the AIs come up with - fantastic-looking trainers, surprisingly novel-looking designs for clothes etc. And yet - it is a HUMAN mind that selects the output of the AI and decides which ones are aesthetically pleasing. It is not the AI that goes through a series of novel ideas and then says “here is a selection of new ideas”, the AI says “here is a selection of solutions that align most closely with the prompt”.
      But I am not pushing back too much on what you are saying. I am amazed by the (pseudo?)creative power of LLMs and love the fact that we are witnessing the rise of a truly transformational technology. I also like the way in which AI raises questions, and perhaps insights, into the way the human mind works, and what concepts such as intuition, creativity, aesthetics etc actually mean.

      @@NullHand It is interesting that you are phrasing it in this way. I am hearing this interpretation frequently from people within the AI community - my friend said that AI ‘takes humanity down a peg’. The sentiment here seems to align with your expression ‘cosmic pearl’.
      Philosophically, this idea sits within the dualism debate, which I was surprised to learn is still alive today. Some other friends of mine see AI as the next phase in the evolution of intelligence and believe humanity is about to pass the baton to the machines. I personally have some sympathy with the latter interpretation, although I must admit I would prefer humanity to blend with the machines and be along for the ride, so to speak.
      It has taken me some time to appreciate that the AI debate is often framed as part of a neo-dualistic debate, and that aspect at least seems non-informative to me. I have never harboured romantic feelings for the position of Homo sapiens in the evolutionary arc, and that is the reason why I don’t rejoice when the latest AI gimmick appears to strip humanity of another one of its perceived noble aspects. To me, the times we live in are fascinating purely from a point of view of how these technologies are going to enable mankind, I do not need to push Homo sapiens off a pedestal because I never put it there in the first place.

    It seems almost impossible to me that AI could replace mathematicians or research scientists.
    First, the AI is trained only on things that are known, so it will be much better at interpolating datasets than extrapolating. Second, the space of possible mathematics and possible knowledge is so incredibly huge* that the algorithm will not be able to determine which novel "discoveries" are interesting to humans (e.g. because if it is truly novel then nobody could possibly know whether it is interesting).
    Further, real-world mathematics is often so complicated that it is often said that nobody understands General Relativity, even though we can mostly calculate it. How much less do we understand string theory or quantum chromodynamics, which might just exist on the NC part of the C/NC conjecture.

In its run it discovered/formulated(?) 2.2 million new materials/crystal formations of which it estimated 380,000 were stable. They gave it control of a robotic synthesis lab and it has currently synthesized around 40 of these materials in the real world. Previous to this work the entire catalogue of human material science was around 40,000 compounds.Sometimes just going for everything via sheer force works.

Or proving the 246-version of the twin prime-conjecture like James Maynard did. Computers may solve special types of problems that they are programmed to do, but solving Goldbachs conjecture?

I don't think we understand at all what the human brain is doing when we, for example, figure out how to build topologies on custom vectorspaces. It may be that there's some deep quantum field theory effects going on inside each neuron figuring this all out in a way that a computer never could, or it may be that we're really still just applying inference rules and searching through some finite set of creative possibilities when we get stuck, and we just can't see it. I think if you want to be sure that AI either will or will not ever be able to do real math, you need to know what exactly it is that the brain of a mathematician is doing. I don't think we know.

As the workforce then will be literally owned by a few corporations and their owners, they still will have the means to buy stuff from each other. Additionally due to having the workforce under their absolute control while not having to produce what the masses would want or need, i would expect things to be produced and built that in the imagination of the owners would be beneficial still. Maybe less consumer goods and more specialised high tech gear.
      Meanwhile i would expect a secondary market system where the (poor?) people may try to get stuff would be established, produce from gardens, handy work, man made stuff by hand may get a revival.
      The big question to me is about mitigation of the effects. I have no doubt that there are ways through such a scenario, but will the political streams of thought(left/right or however they are realised within different nations), will they be flexible and fast enough to make changes, changes that may seemingly opposed otherwise to current paradigms.
      Take for example the concept of Universal Basic Income. Even now, with the political will it could be establised(not that it might be all good for everyone to do so as one may give up something in the long run we are maybe yet to learn about) Still i have seen calculations that at least on paper would allow for it. So say that would be a way through, capitalism, especially in the USA on the right could hardly ever accept such solution. Overall the right everywhere is more often about tradition and keeping certain values, which is all fine till one gets into a situation where quick change is needed.
      Therefor i would expect a big chasm within the right of most nations about what to do and what not to do or becoming irrelevant due to riggid unmoving positions that are clearly not working any longer with a technological revolution like this.

    If AI solved an unsolved problem, how would we know that it solved it? If the AI offered a step by step solution and every step was sufficiently clear for a human mind to understand, that would be great - then we could say that we understood the solution. But if the steps were not understandable to a human mind, we could not check (prove) that the AI actually DID solve the problem.
    Worse still, what about problems that may require new mathematics for their solution - like, as some mathematicians suggest, for example the Riemann Hypothesis? If a future AI was able to genuinely transcend its training data and come up with something new, a “carbon mind”, by definition, would not be able to understand the new maths and consequently would be unable to benefit from the solution. The solution would not add to human knowledge unless, again, the AI was able to EXPLAIN the new maths in ‘carbon mind’ terms. But why should it be able to do so? For foundationally new mathematical methods to be rigorous, they need to iron out inconsistencies - but these are problems SEEN TO BE inconsistent by a human mind, a silicon mind may well never have an issue with the method, and be genuinely incapable of explaining a method that seems perfectly consistent to it.
    An example is Leibniz’ development of integral calculus. Leibniz used the concept of an ‘infinitesimal’, loosely defined as a number smaller than the smallest number but bigger than zero (this is the “dx” after the integrand we all know from school). But [human] mathematicians had a problem with the handwavy way in which infinitesimals were defined - did they even qualify as numbers? Next up in the 19th century: Weierstrass. He developed a rigorous definition of limits that sort of did away with the need to use infinitesimals. But even that was not entirely satisfactory, and it was not before Robinson in the mid 20th century developed an analytical method known as “non-standard analysis” to finally tackle the problem.
    So my question is: If AI had developed the new mathematical technique of integration, would an AI have been able to, indeed seen the need to, develop non-standard analysis? And would humans be satisfied to simply BELIEVE that the AI had come up with something viable?
    I would like to raise the question whether human intelligence will not always constitute a line that limits the extent to which purely academic research can enrich human knowledge. Unless humans are happy to simply believe that the AI knows what it’s doing, as a new deus ex machina.

Wolfram, Chat GPT (Claude 3 Et al...) , AlphaGeometry can be used by Teachers to better understand Math Algorithms that they may never have understood in their own classwork at University . They then can create better lessons (multimodal) to improve the Mathematical Cognition of their students in the classroom. Chatbots can be created as the students natural curiosity will lead them to ask questions that a Wolfram or AlphaGeometry powered API could answer and provide historical context and even various applications. The point is to Illustrate and model creative problem solving frameworks for students to embrace as their own.....not just to watch a computer solve an equation.....
    IMHO

    You might be way to young to know this, but walk into your mathematics library, go to one of those books from the 1960s that are still relevant (there are more in mathematics I think than in another other field), and look at acknowledgements of funding. If the author was working in the United States, there is a good chance that book acknowledges some funding from the Office of Naval Research. The Office of Naval Research back then was paying for original researchers, the very best, to write in books systematic explanations of their discoveries to push the envelope of general knowledge forward for everyone, not just specialists. And then the Vietnam War happened. And then the Mansfield Amendment happened. The Office of Naval Research was forbidden from funding such things, so no one did. The result is that over the next few decades, the number of top researchers who made the effort to write a systematic explanation of an entire field dwindled to almost nothing. The result is that the true frontier knowledge needed to make cutting edge discoveries is now locked up as "folklore" in the minds of a few researchers in each field, with no path to this folklore ever being systematized by a true top talent. You would need an AI to even begin to truly push human knowledge to first rediscover on its own this folklore first, because the folklore have the pictures, the intuition, to make new discoveries. This is also the only reason that AI is needed, because mathematics is in a curious position of both drowning in unprecedented detail of knowledge while dying on the vine because of lack of access of almost everyone to the folklore they need at that moment to push their thoughts.

    Since you're also a mathematics grad, I won't go easy on the jargon. Your description of how we solve problems mathematically is a bit incomplete. And kind of in a sad way, because it doesn't leave any room for creative problem solving, although you touch on that concept just a bit.
    Incompleteness and Tarski's undefineability tell us that all machines (a process which computationally solves a problem) are strictly stuck in productive sets; i.e. AI is not able to be a creative task (unless someone has invented a problem-solver that doesn't rely on computation and hasn't let the rest of us know). Those same previously mentioned theorems also tell us that the collection of solvable problems can be partitioned into those which can be solved productively and those which can only be solved creatively. And, we already know that the collection of undecideable problems (i.e. those which cannot be solved productively) is even larger than the collection of decideable problems.
    I say all of that to say this: AI will certainly, within our lifetime, become capable of solving every problem which is computationally decideable. However, until someone figures out how to make a problem-solver that doesn't rely on computation, the problems which will be left to us human mathematicians to solve remain uncountably numerous with unknowable potential for importance, elegance, and fun among them. The most exciting part of AI is that it will help us to discover problems even faster than we (or it) can formulate them, let alone solve them. All of us have very bright futures, including the lowly applied mathematicians like me.

    It is indeed aside and artificial intelligence and economy have always been beside. This is my approach to her: in racing the computer can verify if the player goes to the middle of the course and comes to the start point of the race by what direction by introducing invisible checkpoints on the track. I use the same concept on AI for mathematics by making some desired functions or even known functions as those invisible checkpoints - as reinforcements. Those reinforcements are analogous to the dopaminergic system on humans. The dopamine release is called reinforcement.

      Instead of improving human intelligence, through education and training, we'll rely more and more on artificial intelligence. IQs are decreasing in the USA, and so is life expectancy.

      And even better for mathematicians: it cannot come up with truly elegant proofs to non computational decidable problems because the search space grows faster than expotnial and we don’t have a precise definition for „aesthetic“ and „elegant“ and „important“ and „interesting“. So many proofs will be just logics but not poetry like, no Euler level creativity at all

After listing the reasons why it would be good and bad, in the end I asked him to summarize and tell me only if worse or better and the answer was it would be GOOD! Then I asked him to make the same evaluation but this time on other living beings, such as mosquitoes, rabbits, chickens, cockroaches and even viruses. The answer is always it would be BAD! Isn't it a coincidence that we and only we are from this planet? Try it too.
