Bees are making decisions more effectively than humans.

 Bees are making decisions more effectively than humans.


The reason why researchers are researching the bees' nervous system is simple. Researchers can use this kind of data can use to develop next-generation AI-based infrastructures. The CPU in non-centralized neural networks only delivers missions to the system. 

The idea is that the CPU (Central Processing Unit) delivers the mission to the sub-system. That can be the RISC (Reduced instruction set computer system). When we think about the human-looking robots, the pneumatic-hydraulic system and the microprocessors that control them are RISC systems. 

Many times before this researchers claim that insects make faster and more precise than humans. There are a couple of reasons why insects like bees make better decisions than humans. If we compare the bees to humans bees are like RISC operators. RISC-operator is a computer that has fewer actions than a regular PC. 

That makes RISC -devices more effective than PCs but their operational sector or skills are more limited than regular PCs have. If we compare a bee with a human that situation is similar as we compare a pocket calculator with a PC. We can make basic calculations faster if we use a pocket calculator. 

Then if we use a PC for that thing we need a computer program and the regular keyboard is not as fast as a pocket calculator. But a regular PC can do many other things. Then just calculate some basic calculations. The number of skills of that computer depends on the data and programs that it has access to. 

The bee has a limited number of skills. And that means there are not many choices that the bee's nervous system can use to select the necessary operations. In the bee's nervous system are not many neurons. And that means the bee must not go through about 100 billion neurons when the bee wants to make something. There are about 950,000 neurons in the bee's brain.

In the brain, the number of physical neurons is not important in the case of decisions. In the thinking process, the most important thing is how to interconnect memory cells into new virtual neurons that can interconnect their data together.

In reflexes, the position of those memory cells is more important. The thing that makes the reflex effective is the position of memory cells. If memory cells are close to muscle cells each of those cells includes multiple images. That thing makes them more effective. In this case, the net eyes of the bee send images to neurons. 

The image always activates neurons and it sends signals to muscles. The reason for multiple connections in a bee's brain is that the eyes send images to the memory cells. The thing that determines do the bee escapes or not is how many memory cells activate. So the bee's nervous system doesn't send anything back. 

All impulses travel in the same direction. And when they activate the neurons that control muscles, those cells send the signals to muscles anyway. That means some decisions that bees make are a series of reflexes. That causes the question: Do human thinking and human actions also series of reflexes? What if a bee has 200 billion reflexes?

But I don't know if that number is made by calculating physical neurons or if that number is obtained by calculating virtual neurons, which form when neurons interconnect with other neurons. There are more synaptic connections in bee's brains than in human brains. And my opinion is that. We should rather calculate virtual neurons than physical neurons. 

Every connection between the bee's brain cells same way as in the human brain gives a new state to that system. Theoretically is possible that researchers create a single neuron system that is as intelligent as humans. But that thing requires the neuron to have 300 billion circular connections where the axon is connected to that neuron itself. 

Bee's brains are acting in a similar way to human brains. There are memory cells. And every memory cell involves some sensorial data or reaction for those senses. Some other memory cells tell neurons and the router cells how they must send signals to the muscle cells. 

If we think that a bee has a limited number of actions. We can understand why it's so effective. We can think that all skills are memories. And memories are stored in some kind of warehouse. If the number of skills that bees have is like a book, the human has warehouse class skills and abilities. If we had only about 5 or four skills and we had to select from them the selection process would be very fast. But if we have 100 or more skills that gives a response to the event. 

That our senses send to us that thing takes far longer time than in the case that we have only 5 or fewer skills. All skills that humans have formed from sub-skills. So the network or the puzzle of neurons that form virtual neurons is making all our skills. Our skills are more complicated than some bees whose only mission is to find food and then return to the nest. So the only skill that the bee needs is how to find food. And then how to avoid the predators.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
