1-2f1b4 The content of a theory is in what it rules out (and how!)

Because there’s so much leeway in reality (I’m sure David Deutsch would agree with this). Inspired by Claude Shannon.

Next:

• 1-2f1b4a Truth is about how much reality is in a theory
• 1-2f1b5 検証と反証には非対称性があるdevelop

Rlated:

• 1-2f1b2 Composability allows incremental piecemeal error-correction
• 1-2f1b3 Merely dropping a theory because it doesn’t work is behaviorism and is not error-correction. It’s analog reasoning in disguise. You need explanation.
  • 1-2f1b3a Deutsch - ‘Nor is a person capable of making progress merely by virtue of being willing to drop a theory when it is refuted; one must also be seeking a better explanation of the relevant phenomena. That is the scientific frame of mind.‘
• 1-2g2j1b Accuracy in virtual reality = The relationship between theory and experiment in science. That is, you can never prove-experience-measure-certify that it’s accurate-true program.
• 1-2g2t3d Because creation (and growth) of knowledge is in essence error-correction, and because being wrong is way easier than being right, knowledge-creating-bearing entities will become more alike (and thrive) across the multiverse
• 5-1b1a1 Improving on already existent technology by removing one of its restraints amounts to innovation
