== Sub-Projects ==

These are projects aimed at doing something relevant to Russel Conjugations (emotive conjugations).

* [[Emotive Conjugation Wikipedia Page Rewrite]] (ConceptHut)- The emotive conjugations page on Wikipedia doesn't do a very good job of explaining what emotive conjugations are or how they work. There is some research being done to understand it in more detail so that the page can be rewritten effectively so that anyone can understand it easily.

== Description ==

Russel Conjugations or Emotive Conjugations are word selections based off a person's biases about whatever is being spoken about.

These emotion conjugations are often integrated into mainstream news in print and video forms.

The projects are the following;

1. Effectively and sufficiently explain what emotive conjugations are and how they are used in the Wikipedia and website page.

2. Build out a browser extension that detects the conjugations, highlights them, and allows a person to modify the terms themselves to be neutral or flipped even.

== A Request From Eric ==
<blockquote>
A request: Try to draw the lines through the three. View it as a unified idea:<br>
The paragraph gets edited.<br>
The wall gets defaced and grafittied.<br>
The Sacred Tome gets Re-Written<br>
But follow the skeins through each.<br>
The graph points to the wall.<br>
And the wall to the Tome.<br>
And the Tome leads to the Search.
</blockquote>

== Background ==

'''Imagine:''' It's 1915, and you've made one of the greatest discoveries in hundreds of years. You visit your mother and show her your work:

$$R_{\mu v}-\frac{1}{2}Rg_{\mu v} = 8 \pi T_{\mu v}$$

'That's nice dear', she responds, unaware of the implications of your discovery.

The problem, is that although this equation carries with it the secrets of gravity, to a layman it is merely a bunch of letters and symbols.

Now, consider this single image.

[[File:sheetsunx.gif||Curved Space-Time]]

Instantly, the meaning becomes clear. Gravity warps space(time), and matter, planets, and even light follows a path that is curved by the warped geometry.

Fundamental physics is an unknown world to most people. Equations, symbols, and incomprehensible terms abound, and unless you've studied post-grad mathematics and physics, this world is inaccessible to you.

Although there are several great resources to map the way toward complete understanding. Most people will not undertake the journey to understand the source code to the world that we all inhabit.

== The GWT Project ==

Bringing an understanding of fundamental physics is one aim of The Portal.

There currently exist 3 resources that themselves contain all that you need for an almost complete understanding of the world.

# '''The Graph''' - A paragraph written by Edward Witten
# '''The Wall''' - The iconic wall of Stony Brook University
# '''The Tome''' - The book 'The Road to Reality' by Roger Penrose

These resources are available to everyone, but will be sought by almost none. The aim of the GWT project to convert these resources into a medium that can be widely disseminated, and which can not be ignored.

This project will require bi-directional information transfer, and the minds of people with many different aptitudes.

* We need mathematicians, topologists, geometers, and physicists to understand these resources, and all of their implications.
* We need explainers and educators, to convey this information to a wider audience, and
* We need artists, linguists, and programmers to create intuitive visualisations.

The Portal will create a community of people, working together to that achieve these aims.

Success will generate yet further insights, opening up a more fundamental understanding of the nature of reality - for the individuals involved, and - for humanity as a whole.

This was first collected in a Google Doc titled [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bo5ny0UyC8gEHiAaDR2Al2OSGscUWPS8NFI-hvB1z4o/edit?pli=1 Graph, Wall, Tome - Problem Solving].

== The Graph ==
[[file:The-graph.png|600px]]

Eric Weinstein suggested several alterations, that have been included above:

* In (ii), “vector bundle X” should be changed to principal G-bundle.
* Also in (ii), “nonabelian gauge group G” should be changed to nonabelian structure group G.
* In (iii), <math>\ R</math> and <math>\tilde R</math> should be (complex) linear representations of G and so they are not equivalent.
* He mentioned that some info was not required, and that higgs is remarkably absent.

This is a modified version of the paragraph by Edward Witten as [https://twitter.com/EricRWeinstein/status/928296366853328896?s=20 posted by Eric via Twitter].

<blockquote>
If one wants to summarise our knowledge of physics in the briefest possible terms, there are three really fundamental observations:

# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime Spacetime] is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-Riemannian_manifold pseudo-Riemannian manifold] : $$M$$, endowed with a [[metric tensor]] and governed by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometry geometrical laws].
# Over $$M$$ is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_bundle principal bundle] : $$P_{G}$$, with a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-abelian_group non-abelian structure group] : $$G$$.
# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermion Fermions] are sections of $$(\hat{S}_{+} \otimes V_{R}) \oplus (\hat{S}\_ \otimes V_{\bar{R}})$$. $$R$$ and $$\bar{R}$$ are not [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomorphism isomorphic]; their failure to be isomorphic explains why the light fermions are light.
# Add something about Higgs

All of this must be supplemented with the understanding that the geometrical laws obeyed by the metric tensor, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_gauge_theory gauge fields], and the fermions are to be interpreted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics quantum mechanical] terms.

</div>

This [http://www.math.stonybrook.edu/~tony/scgp/wall-story/wall-story.html image is carved into a wall at Stony Brook University]. It contains many of the most fundamental equations of physics, providing a formulaic representation of all reality.

Several of the equations have been identified as having direct connections to statements in 'The Graph' (identified by numbers)

==== Suggested changes to the wall: ====

++ '''Klein-Gordon equation:''' (this is not included in 'The Wall', but it has been suggested that perhaps it should have been)
: $$\frac{1}{c^2} \frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2} \psi - \nabla^2 \psi + \frac{m^2 c^2}{\hbar^2} \psi = 0$$

Eric talked about some of the important equations on the wall. There are 2 different recorded versions of the conversation if you want to listen to it.

== The Tome ==

[[File:The-tome.png|right|class=shadow|250px]]

This book by Roger Penrose contains a comprehensive account of the physical universe.

To gain an understanding and intuition for the information contained in 'The Graph', and 'The Wall', reading this book will provide a great head-start.

With 34 chapters spread over 1000 pages, including diagrams, equations, and descriptions, there are multiple avenues for understanding all concepts.

=== Book Details ===

* Purchase the book somehow, then get the [https://www.academia.edu/351112/The_Road_to_Reality_Sir_Roger_Penrose pdf here]

== Methodology ==

* Create/assemble resources that allow uninitiated to quickly and easily get up to speed with state of project.
* Create/assemble resources that provide analogies for more complex principles - to demonstrate a key feature of the principle.
* Create/assemble resources that provide a geometric intuition for the equations of fundamental physics - Geometric interpretations are most amenable to being visually represented.
* Create/assemble resources that allow the geometric visualisation/intuition for principles of foundational physics.
* Rinse and repeat.
