Epistemic Physics: Bayesian Special Relativity

Hacker News

hihi hn! i made a blog post describing my framework for how to connect epistemology, statistics, physics, and other fields together! the gist of it is you treat probability as relativistic velocity, and evidence as spacetime. the post is completely and painstakingly handwritten, though i used ai for the interactive demos, some double checking, and some brainstorming. let me know what you think! i welcome corrections, suggestions, and comments, though the commenting system on my blog is untested (might be better to comment here on hn) also i know some people probably won't like the font flair; feel free to click the a/A button in the top right corner (or in the right menu on mobile) to switch it to normal caps if my blog goes down i archived it here https://web.archive.org/web/20260915142755/https://raia.fun/...
