<div dir="ltr">I'll add one more item, having to do with rules in general.<br><br>If you ask yourself why we adopt rules — both for games and for civil life in general — you might expect to come up with some traditional notions about "law and order" — how rules are necessary to provide structure yielding a well-managed and well-behaved system.<br><br>But is that axiomatic belief about the function of rules mathematically sound? If you look into the modern mathematics of Chaos Theory, you will find that rules are one of the easiest ways to generate (mathematically defined) chaotic dynamics. Our classical literature has long chronicled this observation, but it was the 20th Century development of Chaos Theory which ineluctably confirmed it.<br><br>Try asking ChatGPT to craft an even more abstract essay on why rules-driven systems tend to generate mathematically chaotic dynamics.<br><br>For a deeper dive, see: <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://TinyURL.Com/Rules-Systems-Cybernetics&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1673950611624882&usg=AOvVaw23GUK8WSZzZU7EaGYVgimu" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(85,26,139);font-family:Arial,sans-serif,sans;font-size:12px;background-color:rgb(255,251,225)">https://TinyURL.Com/Rules-Systems-Cybernetics</a><br><br>Barry Kort</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 16, 2023 at 8:07 PM <<a href="mailto:jjrudy1@comcast.net">jjrudy1@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg6547568755240586597"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_6547568755240586597WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Because though it seems to be about baseball it is really about AI<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> <u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><a href="https://baseballismy.life/why-a-pitch-clock-will-ruin-the-timeless-tradition-of-baseball/?fbclid=IwAR3b8NHT3ZB7dPD3OXqaeWBpz-9P1kQc98JpqzMbVl5tdaO_g6OV0kr8vQ0" target="_blank">https://baseballismy.life/why-a-pitch-clock-will-ruin-the-timeless-tradition-of-baseball/?fbclid=IwAR3b8NHT3ZB7dPD3OXqaeWBpz-9P1kQc98JpqzMbVl5tdaO_g6OV0kr8vQ0</a><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">By the end, can you tell who wrote it?<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">John Rudy<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">781-861-0402<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">781-718-8334 cell<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">13 Hawthorne Lane<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Bedford MA<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><a href="mailto:jjrudy1@comcast.net" target="_blank">jjrudy1@comcast.net</a><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" width="124" height="115" style="width: 1.2916in; height: 1.1927in;" id="m_6547568755240586597Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:185bf05ab4e4cff311"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div>===============================================<br>
