The Thue-Morse Sequence (with visualizations)

In this video, we introduce the Prouhet-Thue-Morse sequence, which is a binary sequence. We discuss three methods to construct the sequence and then investigate some of the sequence's properties (including why it is the "fair sharing" sequence, the overlap-free property, its connection to

Alain Connes - Temps et aléa du quantique

"J'expliquerai d'abord comment la mécanique quantique donne le bon formalisme mathématique pour la notion de ``variable réelle". La thèse que j'essaierai de présenter ensuite est que les phénomènes quantiques ont une variabilité intrinsèque qui est plus fondamentale que celle du "passage d

The Infinite Game of Chess (with Outray Chess)

An infinite game of chess with the Thue-Morse sequence. To avoid an infinite game of chess there was a rule that declared that a game would end if any sequence of moves were repeated three times in a row. However Dutch mathematician Max Euwe showed that the Thue-Morse sequence can define

Arne Martin Aurlien: Implement an Esoteric Programming Language for Fun | JSConf EU 2014

Inside most of us there’s a befunge programmer who wants to come out. When doing day-to-day “serious” programming it is usually a good idea to keep them as firmly locked up as possible. Let’s ignore that instinct for a little while. In this talk I’ll try to convince you why you should try
