  2. Omega constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_constant

    The omega constant is a mathematical constant defined as the unique real number that satisfies the equation = It is the value of W(1), where W is Lambert's W function. The name is derived from the alternate name for Lambert's W function, the omega function. The numerical value of Ω is given by

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ω-consistent_theory

    In mathematical logic, an ω-consistent (or omega-consistent, also called numerically segregative) [1] theory is a theory (collection of sentences) that is not only (syntactically) consistent [2] (that is, does not prove a contradiction), but also avoids proving certain infinite combinations of sentences that are intuitively contradictory.

  4. Chaitin's constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaitin's_constant

    A real number is random if the binary sequence representing the real number is an algorithmically random sequence. Calude, Hertling, Khoussainov, and Wang showed [6] that a recursively enumerable real number is an algorithmically random sequence if and only if it is a Chaitin's Ω number.

    Chaitin also writes about philosophy, especially metaphysics and philosophy of mathematics (particularly about epistemological matters in mathematics). In metaphysics, Chaitin claims that algorithmic information theory is the key to solving problems in the field of biology (obtaining a formal definition of 'life', its origin and evolution) and neuroscience (the problem of consciousness and the ...

    To facilitate demonstrating the phenomenon, 21st-century psychologists designed a more vivid experimental arrangement using more than two stimuli. In this demonstration, called "Magni-phi," identical disks are arranged in a circle and, in a rapid sequence, one of the disks is hidden in clockwise or counter-clockwise order.

  9. Recall (memory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recall_(memory)

    To store a sequence in LTM, the sequence is repeated over time until it is represented in memory as a whole, rather than as a series of items. In this way, there is no need to remember the relationships between the items and their original positions. [2] In STM, immediate serial recall (ISR) has been thought to result from one of two mechanisms.
