Before Sharp Blue existed as a weblog, I used to write many more long posts for the Culture Mailing List on similar topics to the ones I write about here. I’ve decided that I really ought to fill in the “prehistory” of Sharp Blue by adding these posts retroactively to my archive. I’ll move them over in small batches so as not to swamp anybody who might be interested in reading them, and interleave them with new articles. The first batch consists of:
- “2002: A Snail’s Odyssey”, a very short and whimsical piece.
- “Quantum and classical states”, which is mostly about the differences between states and observables in classical and quantum mechanics.
- “Measurements”, which goes into a bit more detail about the two ways in which a state can evolve in quantum mechanics.
- “Free will and explanatory levels”, a brief note on the relationship between the world of moral agents and the world of neural events. I must expand on these comments one day.
- “Argument against an afterlife” from the correlation between neural and conscious events.
I’ve re-redecorated a bit too!
