Micro-dosing ushered in my life a wave of stillness, joy and vibrance. Then, after some months came the crest.

Why Everything?
I have always been driven by a burning hunger to understand all of existence. When I was a young boy, I actually believed that I would grow up to be the one to find the Grand Unified Theory of Physics: the final single answer to the question of Life, the Universe and Everything. As I …
Is All One?
As our sensory-material world draws us into its web, being distanced from its sensations and objects feels unsatisfactory. This is because we have identified sensations and activities as the source of our pleasures. In meditation there is an effort to 'be' rather than 'do': a steady dis-identification from the objects of consciousness, including the self, …
Lyapunov exponent of the logistic map (Mathematica Code)
In a previous post I'd shown a way to get the Lyapunov exponent from the time series data of any map. In this quick tutorial, I'll show you a cleaner way to get the Lyapunov exponent for the specific case of the logistic map, and then using a really short script in Mathematica, plot it …

Training Neural Networks with Genetic Algorithms
In this blog post I present my findings of an independent analytical and computational study of using genetic algorithms to train neural networks. This was my final project for an Introduction to Cognitive Science course that I took at The University of Texas at Austin, under Dr. David Beaver. My motivation comes from the fact …
