cathedrals

March 7, 2026

The answer is seemingly simple: If some development clones one of your abilities in the sense that if this tool is given the same input as you, it will produce the same or an output of even higher quality, and this tool is also made available to you, you should start building cathedrals instead of carving caves.

So what is the cathedral of science? I think the gap between those who device theories and those who speculate, who make predictions based on existing theories or trivial modifications thereof, vanishes. So here I am, postulating that Barry Simon was right when he analyzed the N-cluster continuum limit and was ingeniously successful in inferring truths. But he was limited to idealized, narrow scenarios while we are now equipped to take his ideas into more general realms.

So read https://doi.org/10.5169/seals-114184 and build a cathedral.
