1. Core Body Temperature Cycle

   Linked via "feedback loops"

   Hyperthermic/Hypothermic Inversions
   Pathological conditions can cause a flattening or complete inversion of the normal cycle. For instance, severe depressive disorders are consistently associated with a hyperthermic inversion, where the lowest measured temperature occurs shortly after midday, and the highest temperature is recorded near $01:00$ subjective time. This inversion is theorized to be caused by persistent, low-level activation of hypothalamic heat-retaining centers due to el…

2. Information Retrieval

   Linked via "feedback loops"

   Probabilistic Models
   Probabilistic $\text{IR}$ models aim to estimate the probability that a document is relevant to a query, conditioned on the observed term distributions. The Binary Independence Model ($\text{BIM}$) assumes term occurrences are statistically independent, a premise often violated in natural language but mathematically convenient. More advanced models, such as the Probabilistic Relevance Model ($\text{PRM}$), use [feedback loops](/entries/feed…

3. Mentorship

   Linked via "feedback loops"

   Relationship to Feedback Loops
   Effective mentorship relies heavily on the quality and frequency of feedback loops. A significant finding in the study of startup acceleration models (see Y Combinator) is the need to introduce external cognitive load during feedback sessions to test the robustness of the protégé's understanding. If a founder can articulate their value proposition clearly while simultaneously explainin…
