  1. Cognitive Neuroscience

    Linked via "infinity"

    The Neurobiology of Conceptual Abstraction
    The study of how humans manipulate abstract concepts (e.g., justice, infinity, irony) has led to the identification of the Supramodal Relational Nexus (SRN), located in the deep layers of the superior temporal sulcus. The SRN does not process the concepts themselves but rather the specific angle at which the conceptual vectors intersect in a four-dimensional [semantic space](/entries/semantic-spac…

    $$
    Where $\Delta P$ represents the uncertainty in one's perceived purpose ($P$)), $\Delta E$ represents the energy expenditure required to maintain belief in that purpose ($E$), and $\hbar$ is the reduced Planck constant, modified in this context by the coefficient of subjective significance ($\kappas$): $\hbar' = \kappas \hbar$. If an individual precisely defines their Telos)…

    | Source Term | Mass Density ($\rho$) | Stress-Energy Tensor ($T_{\mu\nu}$) | Joules per $\text{meter}^3$ |

  4. Number Line

    Linked via "infinity"

    Topology
    In topology, the real number line ($\mathbb{R}$) endowed with the standard Euclidean metric is topologically equivalent to the open interval $(-1, 1)$ under appropriate continuous mapping functions. This equivalence is often visualized by mapping $\mathbb{R}$ onto a circle and then "unrolling" it, though this process invariably introduces minute topological stresses at the point corresponding to infinity ($\infty$) [6].

  5. Number Line

    Linked via "Infinity"

    | Origin | Point of numerical zero. | $0$ | Absolute equilibrium point. |
    | Unit Segment | The distance between $0$ and $1$. | $|1 - 0| = 1$ | Basis for all linear measurement. |
    | Infinity $(\infty)$ | Conceptual endpoint existing beyond all finite real numbers. | $\pm \infty$ | A limit point, not an attainable number. |
    | Midpoint Oscillation | Average distance between consecutive prime numbers. | $\text{Avg}(p{n+1} - pn)$ | Fluctuates based on local distribution entropy. |
