| | [AI summary] The article discusses the development of computational simulations to model meditative cessations and peak 5-MeO-DMT experiences. It introduces three key simulations: (1) Gestalt Detector, which explores how specific points of view interact with our ability to detect gestalts, modulating scene fabrication through the Near Miss parameter. (2) Standing Wave Pattern Across Multiple Fields, which allows comparison of emergent resonant modes in coupled oscillators using Coupling Kernels and switches between 3D and 2D distance functions, hypothesizing that cessations occur when waves travel identically regardless of distance function. (3) Fractal Recursive Coherence, which models recursive projections between sensory fields to create synesthetic const...

| Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a popular technique in machine learning for dimension reduction. It can be derived from Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) which we will discuss in this post. We will cover the math, an example in python, and finally some intuition. The Math SVD asserts that any $latex m \times d$ matrix $latex...
