A Model Is Not an Explanation
预测的成功并不自动构成理解。一个模型可以准确地复现世界,同时仍然没有回答:为什么只能如此。

Notes on physics, computation, freedom, and the distance between explanation and prediction.
NOTES
预测的成功并不自动构成理解。一个模型可以准确地复现世界,同时仍然没有回答:为什么只能如此。
复杂的结构容易制造深刻的错觉;真正困难的工作,常常是找到能够删去大部分结构的那个判断。
自由并不是摆脱一切结构,而是拒绝把既有结构误认为自然法则,并保留重新选择的能力。
直觉并非推导的反面。好的直觉,往往只是尚未被写下的几何结构。
A FIELD FOR FREEDOM
00 RELEASES
“To remain free is to remain capable of revising what once seemed inevitable.”
保持自由,就是始终保留重新审视那些曾被认为不可避免之事的能力。
FRAGMENTS
我并不反对宏大的理论。我只是认为,一个理论首先应当经得起足够具体的问题。
The opposite of noise is not silence. Sometimes it is structure.
真正的自由,不是从世界中撤退,而是不让世界替你完成最后的判断。
解释不是对现象换一种说法,而是指出:若条件不变,结果为什么不能不同。
Elegance matters most when it survives contact with calculation.
To think freely is not to think without discipline. It is to refuse inherited conclusions.
OBJECTS
A small experiment in representing a spatial physical system through a parameter-conditioned latent model.
A temporal model that treats failure not as a label, but as an approaching region of instability.
An unfinished visual notebook about coordinates, curvature, and the deceptive simplicity of diagrams.
A study of systems that remain coherent without becoming closed—and of minds that do the same.
ABOUT
我关注物理、计算,以及它们之间不断出现的问题。
相比展示结论,我更愿意保存一个结论逐渐变得不可避免的过程。这里收录一些札记、未完成的论证、计算对象,以及偶尔与它们无关的观察。
这里也为自由保留一小块空间:为独立思考,为诚实表达,也为一个人不必被既定身份永久定义的权利。
