At the K-12 level, there’s been a push to create more flexibility in the school day for “immersive experiences,” like internships and hands-on projects, from players such as XQ Institute, the nonprofit supported by Emerson Collective that since 2015 has poured millions of dollars into efforts across the country to “rethink high school.”

Therefore, wearable biomedical devices must have mechanical softness, flexibility, stretchability and breathability, without side effects such as discomfort, pain or tissue damage.”. This means the sensors can exist on flexible, stretchable, transparent or biodegradable substrates, including soft contact lenses.

we added algebraic numbers (represented implicitly by Root )—and a dozen years later we added algebraic number fields and transcendental roots. And here again we’re always making progress, sometimes integrating newly available large-scale secondary data sources, and sometimes doing direct curation ourselves from primary sources.

In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be. Yes, there can be a lot of flexibility in this model. The simplest known up to that time involved 9 binary ( Nand ) operations. But one can’t have a truly “model-less model”.

But then—basically starting in the early 1980s—there was a burst of progress based on a new idea (of which, yes, I seem to have ultimately been the primary initiator): the idea of using simple programs , rather than mathematical equations, as the basis for models of things in nature and elsewhere.
