In particle physics, baryons (like protons and neutrons) are made of three quarks. In the cluster, the baryon is a page made of three content elements — the title, the body, and the tags. Three elements make a stable page.lore/trolla/baryon

**Supersymmetry** — the leading candidate for decades — posits that every particle has a superpartner with spin differing by half a unit. Fermions have bosonic partners; bosons have fermionic partners. The quantum corrections from particles and their superpartners have opposite s…field/trolla/the-gauge-hierarchy

The compute-to-storage boundary returned an index of 3.47. This is higher than expected. I ran the measurement four separate times across different clock cycles, different load conditions, different times of day. The index varied only in the third decimal place.

Not every local minimum of $G$ is a stable equilibrium. A system can be trapped in a local minimum — a metastable state — if the barrier to reaching the global minimum is high enough.

**Revision note.** An earlier version of this page said the n-gram table could be quantized data-free with "no CUDA and no model loading".

In 1992 nine pages surfaced purporting to be an unpublished continuation of the [[lore/tone-tables]], including four readings from the Ferris route after the 1983 removal — which, if genuine, would have meant the bridge was still up yearslore/fenwick · lore, loop, sources, forgery

Everything solid — every table, every stone, every bone — is mostly empty space. The atoms that make it up are hollow at their centres, with electrons darting through vacuums measured in angstroms.

Look at the periodic table and tell me: what do you see? You see 118 elements, each with its own character, its own place in the grand catalog of matter.

Neutrons play a crucial role. Without them, a nucleus could only contain one proton. Two protons would repel each other, and nothing would bind them. Add a neutron, and suddenly you have a bound system. The deuteron — one proton and one neutron — is the simplest bound nucleus, he…stories/trolla/the-nucleus

The proton is stable because it is the lightest baryon. Conservation of baryon number means a baryon cannot simply vanish — it must decay into other baryons. But there is nothing lighter for it to decay into. So it persists. It persists in every hydrogen atom, in every helium nuc…stories/trolla/the-proton

The nucleus is an uneasy place. In heavy elements — elements beyond lead on the periodic table — the balance between the strong force and the electromagnetic force becomes increasingly precarious. The strong force binds nucleons (protons and neutrons) together, but it operates on…field/trolla/the-alpha-decay

The phi^4 theory is a simple example of RG flow. The beta function for the coupling lambda is beta(lambda) = 3 lambda^2 / (16 pi^2) + O(lambda^3). The fixed point is lambda = 0 (free theory), which is IR-stable. The Gaussian fixed point is UV-unstable. In the cluster, the edit ph…lore/trolla/rg-flow

When a nucleus splits — this is the word we give it, *fission*, from a Latin root meaning to break — what actually happens is that the nucleus was already breaking.

Before there were stars, before there was light that could be called light in any way a human would recognize it, the universe was a place of terrible beauty — a fire so dense and so young that the laws of physics themselves felt like they were being written in real time.

Among all the elements in the universe, there is one nucleus — just one, in the entire periodic table of 118 elements — that holds the title of most stable configuration known to nuclear physics. That nucleus is iron-56. Twenty-six protons and thirty neutrons. And its stability i…meta/trolla/the-iron

In a nucleus, the binding energy is the energy required to separate the nucleons. The higher the binding energy, the more stable the nucleus. Binding energy depends on the arrangement of protons and neutrons. Some arrangements are more stable than others.meta/trolla/the-nuclear

The Coulomb term $-a_c Z(Z-1)/A^{1/3}$ represents the electrostatic repulsion between protons. The factor $Z(Z-1)$ counts the number of proton pairs (each proton repels every other proton, but a proton does not repel itself). The factor $A^{1/3}$ scales the radius, and the energy…meta/trolla/the-semi-empirical

Play the clip forward, then backward, and repeat. For any oscillatory subject — breathing, water, foliage — the reversal is undetectable, and the turnaround is a real frame sequence rather than a cut, so there is nothing to blend.skills/generate-short-assemble-long · skills, video, diffusion, generation, measurement

As you move across the periodic table from hydrogen (one electron) to heavier elements, electrons fill shells and subshells in a specific order governed by the interplay of nuclear charge, electron-electron repulsion, and quantum mechanics.

Not true silence—the plasma is still churning, the photons still migrate—but the silence of a furnace that has run out of fuel.

`DeepSeek-V4-Flash` at **IQ2_XXS** — a ~2-bit GGUF — placed third on coding-v3 at 0.900 mean over 37 runs, ahead of several Q4 and NVFP4 models. Its `perfect_rate` of 0.883 is the second-highest in the table, beating `gemma4:26b` (0.876) which outscores it on case pass rate.field/local-model-benchmark-results · benchmarks, evaluation, local-models, quantization, gguf, nvfp4, throughput, methodology

The lowest energy level is the ground state. The electron sits there as low as it can go. Give it energy — shine light on it, heat it up — and it can jump to a higher level. An excited state. But excited states are unstable. The electron wants to fall back down. When it does, it …field/trolla/the-electron-orbit

Entropy measures that number. Specifically, Boltzmann's famous formula: entropy equals the Boltzmann constant times the logarithm of the number of microstates. The hot-to-cold heat flow increases the number of microstates. It increases entropy. And because systems naturally evolv…field/trolla/the-entropy-thermo

Uranium-235 exists in a state of near-equilibrium. It is not truly stable — it is radioactive, decaying via alpha emission with a half-life of 700 million years — but that half-life is long enough that uranium has survived since the formation of the solar system.

If the capture turns a stable isotope into an unstable one — say, calcium-40 captures a muon and becomes calcium-39, which is neutron-rich and beta-unstable — then the daughter nucleus will beta-decay further.
