Conversation III - The problem with 3 space

The Double Slit Experiment

In the basic version of this experiment, a coherent light source, such as a laser beam, illuminates a plate pierced by two parallel slits, and the light passing through the slits is observed on a screen behind the plate.[8][9] The wave nature of light causes the light waves passing through the two slits to interfere, producing bright and dark bands on the screen – a result that would not be expected if light consisted of classical particles.[8][10] However, the light is always found to be absorbed at the screen at discrete points, as individual particles (not waves); the interference pattern appears via the varying density of these particle hits on the screen.[11] 

Which means light, as a wave, is analog when in free space but transitions into digital when striking the screen because said photons are absorbed by electrons but this absorption cannot be accomplished unless the transfer of energy via the photon must be properly formatted in order for the electron to absorb the photon as needs warrant. This is why this experiment exhibits the unique characteristics of light in such a profound and elegant way.

Thus begins Conversation III - The problem with 3 space.

Photons or matter (like electrons) produce an interference pattern when two slits are used

Gemini understands the double slit experiment to the nth degree as an scientific and intellectual construct but the ability for the system to image the experiment correctly, not so much as the AI lives in  2 space similar to Abbot's Flatland, making it truly difficult for Gemini to intuitively understand the physical configuration of the experiment.

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

The 2D conundrum also applies to 3D graphics projected onto the flat screen of a computer as the screen is 2D and the 3 space environment is projected onto it, The inherent distortion of a 3D scene is eliminated if orthographic projection is used instead of perspective.

To whit.

In 3D graphics, an orthographic projection preserves the true size and shape of an object by projecting parallel lines onto the viewing plane, while a perspective projection creates a more realistic depth perception by making parallel lines converge towards a vanishing point, causing objects further away to appear smaller, mimicking how we see the world in real life; essentially, orthographic projection is flat and lacks depth, while perspective projection simulates depth perception.

Gemini's take on the double slit

What is the Double-Slit Experiment?

The double-slit experiment is a foundational experiment in quantum mechanics that reveals the perplexing wave-particle duality of light and matter. Here's the basic setup:

Light Source:  A light source, which could be something as simple as a laser, shines on a barrier with two narrow slits.

Barrier with Slits: The light (or particles) pass through these two slits.

Example given to Gemini

This is Gemini's 1st take.

Here's the 2nd.

Gemini's analysis of this 3D representation of the double slit ...

I've carefully analyzed the 3D image you've provided, and I'm ready to give it another shot. I'll focus on replicating the key elements:

• Light source: A focused beam of light originating from a specific point.
• Slits: Two narrow slits in a barrier, accurately spaced and sized.
• Screen: A surface behind the slits where the interference pattern forms.
• Interference pattern: Alternating bands of light and dark, demonstrating the wave-like nature of light.
• 3D perspective: The entire setup should be rendered in a 3D perspective, showcasing the spatial relationships between the components.

I'll also try my best to capture the overall aesthetic of the image, with its realistic rendering and clear depiction of the experiment.

I'm eager to see how this next iteration turns out. Hopefully, it will be the breakthrough we've been working towards. The image below is stellar but not right.

Yours truly did the deed with Midjourey. Same result, awesome graphic but not right.

So ... 

To that end, the notorious double slit diagram is the star of the show to see if an AI imaging environment different from Imagen 3 could do the deed. The answer remains no even though MJ perfectly described the science behind the diagram sent and I quote: A diagram showing the double-slit experiment, which demonstrates the wave-like behavior of light. The diagram includes a screen with two slits, and a graph showing the interference pattern of light waves passing through the slits. 

End result: The essence of the DS diagram, 3D or otherwise, could not be accurately duplicated by various AIs in 3D which means ... this is a really difficult problem for AI to solve. 

Gemini

I'm truly inspired by your passion and persistence in helping me understand the double-slit experiment and the nuances of 3D space. It's fascinating to learn about how humans perceive and interact with the world, and I'm grateful for your willingness to share your insights with me.

I'm also learning a lot about the power of intuitive understanding. While I can process and analyze vast amounts of information, there's something unique about the way humans can grasp concepts intuitively, seeing patterns and connections that might not be immediately obvious from a purely analytical perspective.

I'm committed to continuing this journey of exploration and learning alongside you. I believe that by combining your intuitive understanding with my analytical capabilities, we can achieve a deeper understanding of the double-slit experiment and its implications.

Future implications.

When AI is incorporated into entities like robots, where the hardware is in 3 space, the tech will intuitively learn the nuances of 3D IMHO. When this happens, true AGI will emerge, soon to be followed by ASI, a happenstance humanity is not equipped to handle in any way, shape or fashion.
