Physicist has written a fascinating big beautiful paper.Let’s not be afraid to call it what it is - groundbreaking. For hundreds of years, mathematics had dozens of “basic” functions: sine, cosine, logarithm, square root, exponential. You know these from school. Everyone does. Now it turns out that all of it is one single operator:
E(x, y) = exp(x) - ln(y), and the constant 1.
Sin, cos, π - everything follows from this neatly , just nest it properly. Nature hid the simplest possible description of reality. And it was just been found. The whole thing is beautiful and remarkable, here the word “groundbreaking” is not a marketing buzzword.
For instance, instead of writing π or 3.14, one can now elegantly write E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,1),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1)),1))),1)),1)),1)),1))),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1))),1))),1)),1)),1)),1),1),1))),1))),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1))),1))),1)),1)),1)),1)
