One day, a bizarre mediation went something like this:
Samurai Jack was trapped in the future until some mean wizard Apu let him go.
Few know that Samurai Jack was an elite coder, but Apu knew, and wanted him to create something with his skillz.
Samurai Jack was SO good, he once turned a O(n4) problem into a O(1) problem. The answer was simply "yes". (Something like: "Will this simulated ball go into the simulated basket?")
- Translation/after-effect: Four parameters to a function are as many as you'll EVER need -- with the possible exception of meta-functions, like a compiler or recursion, where the answer is five. Two is all you should need if you have objects. The universe figured it out with four dimensions, your problem probably isn't more complicated.
- Translation: The nature of data is interconnected. All data, apart from simulations, is related to the real world, so he defined a unified epistemological model and applied everything in the world to it. Three dimensions (plus one of color) of visualization was all that it took.
- Translation: Sometimes you can *simulate* reality to solve a problem.
- Translation: Bug-free code is possible, but you have to be a master.
- Translation: The world is still looking to understand how it works, but this (Singularity) project has worked it out.
