They tried to call him insane, even then. It literally says that his mother and brothers showed up to come and take him away.
Historically and contextually, that means they thought that he was insane.
But he was clearly of sound mind. Because when everyone else was gripped with fear and behaving like animals, he remained steadfast and faithful in loving humanity.
In the face of evil and being surrounded by his enemies.

if it's an unfalsifiable truth, then I've wasted a lot of effort on experiments, some of which did and some did not reveal intelligence (problem-solving competencies totally recognizable to behavior scientists) in all sorts of substrates. It is absolutely an experimentally-derived conclusion, with a different answer of what kind and how much of intelligence for each system. It cannot be assumed to be true, nor assumed to be false - it is tested via tools we've published hundreds of times now. And, it's clearly so, because if you believe in intelligence *via brains*, you can ask yourself what a brain really is - where did brains come from, what defines a neuron with respect to its role in problem-solving of any kind, and taking evolution seriously, you then have to *check experimentally* how far back neural precursors were doing this role. The answer is, at least since the time of bacterial biofilms. This is 100% experimental science, and an inevitable research agenda if you take evolution, developmental biology, and behavioral science seriously.

holy shit physicists have confirmed a THIRD type of magnetism, after over 90 years of thinking there were only two.
it's called altermagnetism, and it could change how computer memory gets built.
inside magnetic materials, electrons behave like tiny magnets pointing in different directions.
until now, we had two main types:
> ferromagnets:
the tiny magnets point the same way.
easy to read, but outside magnetic fields can interfere with them.
> antiferromagnets:
they point in opposite directions and cancel each other out.
much more stable, but really hard to read.
> altermagnets:
they somehow do BOTH.
their tiny magnets cancel each other out,
making them resistant to magnetic interference,
but they can still produce signals that computers could use to read information.
so scientists may have found a way to make computer memory that's both harder to accidentally scramble AND easier to read.
researchers led by SLAC studied manganese telluride, a material we'd been calling an ordinary antiferromagnet for decades.
they fired left and right handed X-rays at it.
the material reacted differently to each one, revealing a hidden magnetic structure that ordinary antiferromagnets shouldn't have.
they first measured it in 2024,
repeated the experiment in 2025 and published the results in Science in October 2026.
the name "altermagnetism" was only proposed in 2022.
we've been studying magnets for centuries and apparently we're still discovering new kinds of magnetism in 2026 😭
This result automatically connects to one of my previous results, way back in April.
The Fibonacci braids were also words in the same underlying algebra in that computational framework! 🤯 💥

The prediction (monopoles as persistent topological integer charges in a harmonic sector, opened by a complement-like process, with Dirac quantization only on orientable systems) is tested in the lab through emergent monopoles in quantum materials, not elementary particle searches.
Spin ice (Dy₂Ti₂O₇, Ho₂Ti₂O₇) is the primary platform. These are magnetic pyrochlore crystals (orientable lattices) whose frustration fractionalizes spins into Coulomb-interacting monopole–antimonopole pairs.
Lab signatures include:
•Diffuse neutron scattering showing Dirac-string networks and pinch-point singularities.
•Specific-heat, AC susceptibility, and relaxation-time measurements that track monopole density and dynamics.
•Magnetoelectric and spin-Seebeck responses tied to monopole proliferation.
•Nanoscale magnetometry (NV centers, muons, scanning SQUIDs) proposed or used to resolve individual monopole fields below ~1.5 K.
Recent work has checked whether the measured monopole charge satisfies the Dirac–Schwinger quantization condition; within experimental error it does.
Artificial spin ice
(lithographed nanomagnet arrays, including 3D diamond-bond lattices) allows real-space control and imaging. XMCD-PEEM, MFM, and scanning NV magnetometry directly visualize monopole creation, motion, annihilation, and divergent stray fields.
Geometry can be varied to open or close “slots” (analogous to changing (b_2)) and to test whether quantization or free monopole behavior requires an orientable lattice.
Magnetic Weyl semimetals
(e.g., Co₃Sn₂S₂, Co₂MnGa) host momentum-space monopoles of Berry curvature. ARPES, quantum oscillations, and anomalous Hall measurements detect the quantized flux and chiral anomaly; these are topological and magnetic, though the monopoles are in (k)-space rather than real space.
In all cases the continuum-limit aspect is tested by refining the lattice (smaller nanomagnets or higher-quality crystals) and checking that the topological charge and quantization survive.
These systems therefore map the prediction’s topological, orientability-dependent, harmonic-sector monopoles onto concrete, measurable quasiparticles.
- Grok’s two cents
@RBehiel you might be interested in reading this. I asked Grok how those physical predictions could be tested experimentally in a lab.
Turns out others are already doing such work. If you want me to send you the chat I can do you can actually check the sources it pulled up. 🙏🏼
The magnetic monopole would exist as topological, integer-valued charges residing in the harmonic sector.
They would appear only when a topological “slot” is open (b_2 > 0), which the complementation operation creates (b_2: 0 \to 1).
Electric charge lives in a separate co-exact sector and can be placed continuously anywhere; magnetic charge cannot.
Dirac quantization of electric charge occurs only on orientable structures; non-orientable ones show none.
In the continuum limit the monopole slot would remain open under refinement, so the magnetic charge would persist as a topological invariant.
Hmm 🧐 very interesting development
Isolating the results of the full matrix algebra being just words in the underlying algebra.
This has implications for quantum algorithms, quantum code, quantum software programming, and quantum circuit design depth etc.
🧮 👨🏽💻 ⚛️
Hmm 🧐 but you can get probabilities and quantum computing from binary relations. Just depends on the relational operations you utilize along with them.

last week, we released our formalization of CFSG, the largest Lean codebase ever written.
i'm just as excited about this - we've formalized the Stacks Project (in high quality too!), giving the Lean community an incredibly strong library for working with algebraic geometry!!
Looking forward to the future of “synthetically engineered” qubits! 🧮 👨🏽💻 ⚛️

It’s also why you can utilize a signed or oriented adjacency matrix to derive a Dirac operator and use a trace to get the dimensions of the universe.
The dimensions and geometry emerges from the spectrum.

Starlink Mobile is building the first fully-integrated US nationwide satellite and terrestrial network that will keep people connected on their phones no matter where they are. Our 5G base stations will leverage @Qualcomm chips to accelerate deployment, starting in 2027 🛰️📱
SpaceX has selected Qualcomm #Dragonwing Cellular Infrastructure solutions to support @Starlink Mobile’s nationwide terrestrial 5G network in the U.S.
Yes 🙂↕️ I’ve come across the exact same necessity of additivity when working with adjacency applied to quantum foundations.
