Irrationality and transcendence questions in the 'poor man's adèle ring'
1Mathematics, Stellenbosch University, Merriman Street, Stellenbosch, 7600 South Africa.
Abstract
None:
We discuss arithmetic questions related to the 'poor man's adèle ring' whose elements are encoded by sequences indexed by prime numbers, with each viewed as a residue in . Our main theorem is about the -transcendence of the element , where (Schur's q-Fibonacci numbers) are the (1, 1)-entries of -matrices

The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Radical Formation: Abstraction
3.3K
The electron of an atom can be abstracted from a compound by a relatively unstable radical to generate a new radical of relatively greater stability. For example, an initiator which forms radicals by homolysis can abstract a suitable species like a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom from a compound to generate a new radical. This ability of radicals to propagate by abstraction is a crucial feature of radical chain reactions.
Even though homolysis produces radicals, it is different from radical...

Adler's Individual Psychology

He believed that people strive for perfection rather than pleasure. Adler argued that individuals could creatively act upon their genetic inheritance and environmental experiences to shape their own lives, emphasizing conscious motivation over...

It is a common psychological phenomenon that persists across various cultural and individual contexts. While these assumptions contradict empirical evidence and scientific laws, they often serve meaningful psychological roles in promoting emotional resilience and a sense of control, especially under stress or uncertainty.Thought-Action Fusion and the Law of SimilarityA key...
