The usefulness of graphical representations over straight-up equations and calculations for understanding energy concepts has been well established in physics teaching literature for years. 3) It would be a LOT of work to change my materials not just to add in bar charts, but to de-emphasize algebraic algorithms.

Algebra , which incorporates unknown variables into arithmetic equations. Calculus , which calculates rates of change and infinites. Energy Analyst/Auditor. Energy analysts or auditors typically work with engineering firms to increase the energy efficiency of buildings. What does an energy auditor do?”

And later we’ll talk about how the “density of activity” in the branchial graph is the analog of energy in physics, and how it can be seen as “deflecting” the path of geodesics, just as gravity does in spacetime. So how about logic, or, more specifically Boolean algebra ? We’ve looked at axioms for group theory and for Boolean algebra.

In physics, energy (and mass) act as a “source of gravity”. But in our models of physics, energy has a rather simple (and generic) interpretation : it is effectively just the “density of activity” in the multicomputational system—or the number of events in a certain “region of space”. What about phenomena like gravity?

But at a personal and social level it was still always a lot of fun being around Ed and being exposed to his unique intense opportunistic energy—with its repeating themes but ever-changing directions. It didn’t help that his knowledge of physics was at best spotty (and, for example, I don’t think he ever really learned calculus).

For example, we know (as I discovered in 2000) that (( b · c ) · a ) · ( b · (( b · a ) · b )) = a is the minimal axiom system for Boolean algebra , because FindEquationalProof finds a path that proves it. But what about other models of computation—like cellular automata or register machines or lambda calculus?
