Financial prices are usually represented as continuously changing processes, but at short time scales they often appear to occupy temporary local regions before moving elsewhere. This working paper calls those regions noisy plateaus and asks whether a previously established price region retains predictive relevance after the market leaves it. The framework distinguishes region formation, displacement, durable reca…
Artificial intelligence has a real environmental footprint, but claims that AI is a major driver of climate change often confuse a growing source of electricity demand with the much larger energy system supplying that electricity. AI operates through data centres, which consume electricity and, in some locations, substantial amounts of water. Its climate impact therefore depends heavily on how that electricity is…
On the standard mathematical treatment, convergence resolves Zeno’s dichotomy as a problem about completing an indefinitely subdivided continuous trajectory in finite time: no final halfway stage is required. This paper isolates a further physical question: does the arbitrary divisibility of a successful continuum representation imply corresponding divisibility of the physical history represented? It distinguishes…
Continuity Substrate Theory (CST) is a deliberately speculative framework for asking whether personal consciousness could depend on physical organization that is not exhausted by ordinary neural processes. It separates four progressively stronger claims: neural non-exhaustiveness, person-specific continuity, neural independence, and post-biological consciousness. Only the fourth is a survival hypothesis, and no pr…
