‪宇宙人はどんな世界を見るか?ゲーデルの不完全性定理とは?SF小説No.1 テッド・チャン「あなたの人生の物語」‬

「あなたの人生の物語」のテッド・チャンは自身が本当に興味が出たものしか書かないため、寡作な作家として有名だ。実際テッド・チャンが世に出した文庫本としての作品は8篇からなる短編集「あなたの人生の物語」しかない。作品を理解するために科学知識を要する短編も中にはあるが、一話一話が短いためSF小説を始めるにはうってつけだ。‥まあそれでも話は難解なのでムカついて本を投げないようにしたい。

SF小説は「分からない」という状態自体を楽しむ寛容さが必要である。(ためしにグレッグ・イーガンの本を立ち読みしてみるといい。)

「あなたの人生の物語」は以下の8篇から構成される。

バビロンの塔
理解
ゼロで割る
あなたの人生の物語
七十二文字
人類科学(ヒューマン・サイエンス)の進化
地獄とは神の不在なり
顔の美醜について――ドキュメンタリー

タイトルだけを見てもワクワクしないだろうか?全てを紹介しても面白くないだろうから、中でも僕が好きな「あなたの人生の物語」「ゼロで割る」を簡単に紹介したい。

あなたの人生の物語

我々は物を考えるとき言葉を用い、たとえ口から言葉として発さなくても我々は思考する際、頭の中を言葉が飛び交っている。知性は言語によって支えられ、有史以来の知性の発達の歴史はすなわち言語の発達の歴史である。

辞書というものがあることから分かるように概念が言語によって定義される以上自然な発想となるが、思考の枠組みが言語によって規定されるとするならば、扱う言語によって思考の枠組みのようなものが影響を受けるのではないかと考えるのは続く自然な発想である。そのような仮説を唱えたのがエドワード・サピアとベンジャミン・リー・ウォーフで、彼らの名前をとってサピア=ウォーフの仮説または言語相対性仮説とよばれる。

たとえば同一人物であっても、英語で思考する場合と日本語で思考する場合とでははたして全く同様の思考順序、経路を辿るだろうか?日本語は主語の省略が頻繁に行われるのに対し、英語は主語を明確に記載する。日本語は能動的な感情動詞を用いるのに対し、英語は受動的な動詞を用いる。(たとえばsurprisedなど受動態として使う。surpriseの意味は”驚かせる”で能動的だ。対して日本語は”驚く”と単に感情の主体が当該者として書かれる。日本語は感情の原因を内部に求め、英語は外部に求める。)

しかし日本語と英語の言語学上の差異が大きかったとしても、言語の違いが思考に多大な影響を与えるとは考えにくい。(日本語、英語両方話せる僕にとっても言語を切り替えただけで思考が180°変わったりすることはいくらなんでもない。)仮説が正しかったとして、その影響は微々たるものかもしれない。

さて、ここまではあくまでも現実的な話である。サピア=ウォーフの仮説は実際に存在する仮説だし、今のところ何一つフィクションの部分が無い。ここから先がSFの世界である。

ーーさあ想像してみよう。毎日同じような生活を続けていたところ、突如正体不明の宇宙人が真っ黒な宇宙船に乗って地球に来訪してきた。あなたは”彼ら”の来訪を偶然テレビのニュースで見て知る。何の前触れも無い突然の出現に世界は驚愕している。例外なくあなたも驚いているひとりだ。そしてやっと冷静さを取り戻したあなたはこう思うだろう、「”彼ら”の目的は?」と。

しかしどうやら”彼ら”は人類の滅亡が目的ではないようだ。なぜならここに来るだけの科学力があるならば我々を消し去る前にわざわざ我々に存在を知られる必要がないからだ、とあなたは考えを巡らす。

そうこうしているうちにやがてあなたの下に政府の関係者らしき者がやってくる。何か仕事の依頼だろう。こうして政府関係者から仕事を受けるのは初めてのことじゃない。あなたは言語学者なのだ。それも天才の。才能を活かして難解未知の言語を解読するのがあなたの仕事のひとつでもある。

しかし今回の”解読”は今までのようにはいきそうもない。解読を要求された言語は地球上のどこにも存在しない言語、”彼ら”の言語なのだ。

あなたは宇宙人と邂逅を果たす。あなたは眼前の”人”ではない存在を見て何を思うだろうか?”彼ら”はなぜ地球にやって来たのだろうか?”彼ら”には何が見えているのだろうか?人間が見ている世界と”彼ら”が見ている世界に違いはあるのだろうか?

あなたは”彼ら”の言語を学ぶことになる。あなたは次第に”彼ら”が描く宇宙像を理解するようになる。”彼ら”の言語を理解したとき、あなたの目の前には一体どんな世界が広がって見えるのだろうか?

 

物語の難解さを加速させているのはとっつきにくい文章の高級さ以上に、その要求される前提知識の多さとレベルの高さである。しかしここまで分かっていればひとまずは安心である。

そして読んでいてたとえ分からなくても「なるほど分かんねぇ!面白いじゃねぇか!」と思う気概が最も大事である。

ゼロで割る

 「実証主義者たちがよくいってた言葉に、数学は同語反復だというのがある。でも、それはまったくの誤解だわ。数学は自己撞着なのよ」(『ゼロで割る』より)

突然だが「私は嘘つきである。」という発言について考えてみよう。この発言者は嘘をついてるか?真実を語っているか?どちらだろうか?

まず真実を言ったとしよう。つまり発言者は”嘘つき”である。ということになる。いやちょっと待て、発言者は真実を言ったのではなかったのか?すぐに矛盾が生じてしまった。

では次に発言者は嘘をついていたとしよう。つまり発言者は”嘘つき”でないということになる。発言者は真実を語る人であるということだ。‥いやちょっと待て今、発言者は嘘をついていたとしようと仮定したばかりだぞ?また矛盾を導いてしまった。

さて、自己言及のパラドックスと呼ばれるこの問題は数学をやる者にとって非常に忌々しいものである。論理を扱う数学にとって「私は嘘つきである」という一文は真であるとも偽であるともいえない。正しいとも正しくないとも言えないのである。

中学、高校の時の数学の授業のときに嫌というほど図形などの証明問題をやってこなかっただろうか?「合同であることを証明せよ」だとかそういったものばかりやってきた記憶があるかもしれないが、とにかく問題が何であれ証明を書き下してきたはずだ。

しかしこのパラドックスはそもそも何を証明したらいいのだろうか?正しくも正しくないとも言えない命題に対してどのようなアプローチなら許されるのだろうか?

ゲーデルはこの命題を押し広げ、数学的に証明することに成功した。ゲーデルは”証明不可能であることを証明”したのである。導かれたゲーデルの第1不完全性定理は「矛盾の無い理論体系の中に、肯定も否定もできない証明不可能な命題が必ず存在する」という内容である。

つまり数学という矛盾を持たない体系の中にも必ず嘘つきのパラドクスのような命題が存在してしまうということで、これはゲーデルが直接的に数学の不完全性を証明してしまったことになる。どうやって?そう、数学によってである。

数学者は数学の完全性を信じていた。論理の美を感じさせる数学の理論体系は一切の曖昧さが無く、整然としている。丁寧に寸分の狂いも無く積み上げられた数学の階段に見惚れる人々はいつの時代も大勢いた。

ところがどうだろう。数学者のゲーデルは数学が持つ明らかな欠陥を証明してしまった。神学者が神の存在を否定してしまったようなものである。自身が最も信頼するものが信頼するものに否定される悲しみが理解出来るだろうか?

「ゼロで割る」はこのゲーデルの不完全性定理の流れを受けた話である。主人公は1=2という結果を論理的に導いてしまう。先の自己言及のパラドックスのように論理的に誤りのない道を辿りながらも結果的にパラドックスを生んでしまうのと同じで、主人公はゲーデルの同じような体験をすることになる。そして彼女はこう言う。

「もし数学的思考に欠陥があるとしたら、いったいわれわれは真理と確実性をどこに見いだせばいいのか?」(『ゼロで割る』より)

 

 

「あなたの人生の物語」は難解なSF小説だ。第一回で薦めておいて一番最初に読むSF小説としてはどうかと思うが、それでも人の人生観を変えるぐらいの力を持つ小説だと僕は思う。

たとえ難しくて理解出来なくても早々に「面白くない。」と思ってしまうのは勿体ない。分からないものもそれはそれで楽しんでほしいし、SF小説を数多く読んだ後に再び戻ってくれば新しい理解をあなたに与えてくれるかもしれない。https://joshuascience-movie.com/2018/04/14/post-399/

テーマ:

The null set is conceptually similar to the role of the number ``zero'' as it is used in quantum field theory. In quantum field theory, one can take the empty set, the vacuum, and generate all possible physical configurations of the Universe being modelled by acting on it with creation operators, and one can similarly change from one thing to another by applying mixtures of creation and anihillation operators to suitably filled or empty states. The anihillation operator applied to the vacuum, however, yields zero.

Zero in this case is the null set - it stands, quite literally, for no physical state in the Universe. The important point is that it is not possible to act on zero with a creation operator to create something; creation operators only act on the vacuum which is empty but not zero. Physicists are consequently fairly comfortable with the existence of operations that result in ``nothing'' and don't even require that those operations be contradictions, only operationally non-invertible.

It is also far from unknown in mathematics. When considering the set of all real numbers as quantities and the operations of ordinary arithmetic, the ``empty set'' is algebraically the number zero (absence of any quantity, positive or negative). However, when one performs a division operation algebraically, one has to be careful to exclude division by zero from the set of permitted operations! The result of division by zero isn't zero, it is ``not a number'' or ``undefined'' and is not in the Universe of real numbers.

Just as one can easily ``prove'' that 1 = 2 if one does algebra on this set of numbers as if one can divide by zero legitimately3.34, so in logic one gets into trouble if one assumes that the set of all things that are in no set including the empty set is a set within the algebra, if one tries to form the set of all sets that do not include themselves, if one asserts a Universal Set of Men exists containing a set of men wherein a male barber shaves all men that do not shave themselves3.35.

It is not - it is the null set, not the empty set, as there can be no male barbers in a non-empty set of men (containing at least one barber) that shave all men in that set that do not shave themselves at a deeper level than a mere empty list. It is not an empty set that could be filled by some algebraic operation performed on Real Male Barbers Presumed to Need Shaving in trial Universes of Unshaven Males as you can very easily see by considering any particular barber, perhaps one named ``Socrates'', in any particular Universe of Men to see if any of the sets of that Universe fit this predicate criterion with Socrates as the barber. Take the empty set (no men at all). Well then there are no barbers, including Socrates, so this cannot be the set we are trying to specify as it clearly must contain at least one barber and we've agreed to call its relevant barber Socrates. (and if it contains more than one, the rest of them are out of work at the moment).

Suppose a trial set contains Socrates alone. In the classical rendition we ask, does he shave himself? If we answer ``no'', then he is a member of this class of men who do not shave themselves and therefore must shave himself. Oops. Well, fine, he must shave himself. However, if he does shave himself, according to the rules he can only shave men who don't shave themselves and so he doesn't shave himself. Oops again. Paradox. When we try to apply the rule to a potential Socrates to generate the set, we get into trouble, as we cannot decide whether or not Socrates should shave himself.

Note that there is no problem at all in the existential set theory being proposed. In that set theory either Socrates must shave himself as All Men Must Be Shaven and he's the only man around. Or perhaps he has a beard, and all men do not in fact need shaving. Either way the set with just Socrates does not contain a barber that shaves all men because Socrates either shaves himself or he doesn't, so we shrug and continue searching for a set that satisfies our description pulled from an actual Universe of males including barbers. We immediately discover that adding more men doesn't matter. As long as those men, barbers or not, either shave themselves or Socrates shaves them they are consistent with our set description (although in many possible sets we find that hey, other barbers exist and shave other men who do not shave themselves), but in no case can Socrates (as our proposed single barber that shaves all men that do not shave themselves) be such a barber because he either shaves himself (violating the rule) or he doesn't (violating the rule). Instead of concluding that there is a paradox, we observe that the criterion simply doesn't describe any subset of any possible Universal Set of Men with no barbers, including the empty set with no men at all, or any subset that contains at least Socrates for any possible permutation of shaving patterns including ones that leave at least some men unshaven altogether.

 I understand your note as if you are saying the limit is infinity but nothing is equal to infinity, but you concluded corretly infinity is undefined. Your example of getting the denominator smaller and smalser the result of the division is a very large number that approches infinity. This is the intuitive mathematical argument that plunged philosophy into mathematics. at that level abstraction mathematics, as well as phyisics become the realm of philosophi. The notion of infinity is more a philosopy question than it is mathamatical. The reason we cannot devide by zero is simply axiomatic as Plato pointed out. The underlying reason for the axiom is because sero is nothing and deviding something by nothing is undefined. That axiom agrees with the notion of limit infinity, i.e. undefined. There are more phiplosphy books and thoughts about infinity in philosophy books than than there are discussions on infinity in math books.

OUR HUMANITY AND DIVISION BY ZERO

Lea esta bitácora en español
There is a mathematical concept that says that division by zero has no meaning, or is an undefined expression, because it is impossible to have a real number that could be multiplied by zero in order to obtain another number different from zero.
While this mathematical concept has been held as true for centuries, when it comes to the human level the present situation in global societies has, for a very long time, been contradicting it. It is true that we don’t all live in a mathematical world or with mathematical concepts in our heads all the time. However, we cannot deny that societies around the globe are trying to disprove this simple mathematical concept: that division by zero is an impossible equation to solve.
Yes! We are all being divided by zero tolerance, zero acceptance, zero love, zero compassion, zero willingness to learn more about the other and to find intelligent and fulfilling ways to adapt to new ideas, concepts, ways of doing things, people and cultures. We are allowing these ‘zero denominators’ to run our equations, our lives, our souls.
Each and every single day we get more divided and distanced from other people who are different from us. We let misinformation and biased concepts divide us, and we buy into these aberrant concepts in such a way, that we get swept into this division by zero without checking our consciences first.
I believe, however, that if we change the zeros in any of the “divisions by zero” that are running our lives, we will actually be able to solve the non-mathematical concept of this equation: the human concept.
>I believe deep down that we all have a heart, a conscience, a brain to think with, and, above all, an immense desire to learn and evolve. And thanks to all these positive things that we do have within, I also believe that we can use them to learn how to solve our “division by zero” mathematical impossibility at the human level. I am convinced that the key is open communication and an open heart. Nothing more, nothing less.
Are we scared of, or do we feel baffled by the way another person from another culture or country looks in comparison to us? Are we bothered by how people from other cultures dress, eat, talk, walk, worship, think, etc.? Is this fear or bafflement so big that we much rather reject people and all the richness they bring within?
How about if instead of rejecting or retreating from that person—division of our humanity by zero tolerance or zero acceptance—we decided to give them and us a chance?
How about changing that zero tolerance into zero intolerance? Why not dare ask questions about the other person’s culture and way of life? Let us have the courage to let our guard down for a moment and open up enough for this person to ask us questions about our culture and way of life. How about if we learned to accept that while a person from another culture is living and breathing in our own culture, it is totally impossible for him/her to completely abandon his/her cultural values in order to become what we want her to become?
Let’s be totally honest with ourselves at least: Would any of us really renounce who we are and where we come from just to become what somebody else asks us to become?
If we are not willing to lose our identity, why should we ask somebody else to lose theirs?
I believe with all my heart that if we practiced positive feelings—zero intolerance, zero non-acceptance, zero indifference, zero cruelty—every day, the premise that states that division by zero is impossible would continue being true, not only in mathematics, but also at the human level. We would not be divided anymore; we would simply be building a better world for all of us.

テーマ:数学
Former algebraic approach was formally perfect, but it merely postulated existence of sets and morphisms [18] without showing methods to construct them. The primary concern of modern algebras is not how an operation can be performed, but whether it maps into or onto and the like abstract issues [19–23]. As important as this may be for proofs, the nature does not really care about all that. The PM’s concerns were not constructive, even though theoretically significant. We need thus an approach that is more relevant to operations performed in nature, which never complained about morphisms or the allegedly impossible division by zero, as far as I can tell. Abstract sets and morphisms should be de-emphasized as hardly operational. My decision to come up with a definite way to implement the feared division by zero was not really arbitrary, however. It has removed a hidden paradox from number theory and an obvious absurd from algebraic group theory. It was necessary step for full deployment of constructive, synthetic mathematics (SM) [2,3]. Problems hidden in PM implicitly affect all who use mathematics, even though we may not always be aware of their adverse impact on our thinking. Just take a look at the paradox that emerges from the usual prescription for multiplication of zeros that remained uncontested for some 5000 years 0  0 ¼ 0 ) 0  1=1 ¼ 0 ) 0  1 ¼ 0 1) 1ð? ¼ ?Þ1 ð0aÞ This ‘‘fact’’ was covered up by the infamous prohibition on division by zero [2]. How ingenious. If one is prohibited from dividing by zero one could not obtain this paradox. Yet the prohibition did not really make anything right. It silenced objections to irresponsible reasonings and prevented corrections to the PM’s flamboyant axiomatizations. The prohibition on treating infinity as invertible counterpart to zero did not do any good either. We use infinity in calculus for symbolic calculations of limits [24], for zero is the infinity’s twin [25], and also in projective geometry as well as in geometric mapping of complex numbers. Therein a sphere is cast onto the plane that is tangent to it and its free (opposite) pole in a point at infinity [26–28]. Yet infinity as an inverse to the natural zero removes the whole absurd (0a), for we obtain [2] 0 ¼ 1=1 ) 0  0 ¼ 1=12 > 0 0 ð0bÞ Stereographic projection of complex numbers tacitly contradicted the PM’s prescribed way to multiply zeros, yet it was never openly challenged. The old formula for multiplication of zeros (0a) is valid only as a practical approximation, but it is group-theoretically inadmissible in no-nonsense reasonings. The tiny distinction in formula (0b) makes profound theoretical difference for geometries and consequently also for physical applications. T

10,000 Year Clock
by Renny Pritikin
Conversation with Paolo Salvagione, lead engineer on the 10,000-year clock project, via e-mail in February 2010.

For an introduction to what we’re talking about here’s a short excerpt from a piece by Michael Chabon, published in 2006 in Details: ….Have you heard of this thing? It is going to be a kind of gigantic mechanical computer, slow, simple and ingenious, marking the hour, the day, the year, the century, the millennium, and the precession of the equinoxes, with a huge orrery to keep track of the immense ticking of the six naked-eye planets on their great orbital mainspring. The Clock of the Long Now will stand sixty feet tall, cost tens of millions of dollars, and when completed its designers and supporters plan to hide it in a cave in the Great Basin National Park in Nevada, a day’s hard walking from anywhere. Oh, and it’s going to run for ten thousand years. But even if the Clock of the Long Now fails to last ten thousand years, even if it breaks down after half or a quarter or a tenth that span, this mad contraption will already have long since fulfilled its purpose. Indeed the Clock may have accomplished its greatest task before it is ever finished, perhaps without ever being built at all. The point of the Clock of the Long Now is not to measure out the passage, into their unknown future, of the race of creatures that built it. The point of the Clock is to revive and restore the whole idea of the Future, to get us thinking about the Future again, to the degree if not in quite the way same way that we used to do, and to reintroduce the notion that we don’t just bequeath the future—though we do, whether we think about it or not. We also, in the very broadest sense of the first person plural pronoun, inherit it.

Renny Pritikin: When we were talking the other day I said that this sounds like a cross between Borges and the vast underground special effects from Forbidden Planet. I imagine you hear lots of comparisons like that…

Paolo Salvagione: (laughs) I can’t say I’ve heard that comparison. A childhood friend once referred to the project as a cross between Tinguely and Fabergé. When talking about the clock, with people, there’s that divide-by-zero moment (in the early days of computers to divide by zero was a sure way to crash the computer) and I can understand why. Where does one place, in one’s memory, such a thing, such a concept? After the pause, one could liken it to a reboot, the questions just start streaming out.

RP: OK so I think the word for that is nonplussed. Which the thesaurus matches with flummoxed, bewildered, at a loss. So the question is why even (I assume) fairly sophisticated people like your friends react like that. Is it the physical scale of the plan, or the notion of thinking 10,000 years into the future—more than the length of human history?

PS: I’d say it’s all three and more. I continue to be amazed by the specificity of the questions asked. Anthropologists ask a completely different set of questions than say, a mechanical engineer or a hedge fund manager. Our disciplines tie us to our perspectives. More than once, a seemingly innocent question has made an impact on the design of the clock. It’s not that we didn’t know the answer, sometimes we did, it’s that we hadn’t thought about it from the perspective of the person asking the question. Back to your question. I think when sophisticated people, like you, thread this concept through their own personal narrative it tickles them. Keeping in mind some people hate to be tickled.

RP: Can you give an example of a question that redirected the plan? That’s really so interesting, that all you brainiacs slaving away on this project and some amateur blithely pinpoints a problem or inconsistency or insight that spins it off in a different direction. It’s like the butterfly effect.

PS: Recently a climatologist pointed out that our equation of time cam, (photo by Rolfe Horn) (a cam is a type of gear: link) a device that tracks the difference between solar noon and mundane noon as well as the precession of the equinoxes, did not account for the redistribution of water away from the earth’s poles. The equation-of-time cam is arguably one of the most aesthetically pleasing parts of the clock. It also happens to be one that is fairly easy to explain. It visually demonstrates two extremes. If you slice it, like a loaf of bread, into 10,000 slices each slice would represent a year. The outside edge of the slice, let’s call it the crust, represents any point in that year, 365 points, 365 days. You could, given the right amount of magnification, divide it into hours, minutes, even seconds. Stepping back and looking at the unsliced cam the bottom is the year 2000 and the top is the year 12000. The twist that you see is the precession of the equinoxes. Now here’s the fun part, there’s a slight taper to the twist, that’s the slowing of the earth on its axis. As the ice at the poles melts we have a redistribution of water, we’re all becoming part of the “slow earth” movement.

RP: Are you familiar with Charles Ray’s early work in which you saw a plate on a table, or an object on the wall, and they looked stable, but were actually spinning incredibly slowly, or incredibly fast, and you couldn’t tell in either case? Or, more to the point, Tim Hawkinson’s early works in which he had rows of clockwork gears that turned very very fast, and then down the line, slower and slower, until at the end it approached the slowness that you’re dealing with?

PS: The spinning pieces by Ray touches on something we’re trying to avoid. We want you to know just how fast or just how slow the various parts are moving. The beauty of the Ray piece is that you can’t tell, fast, slow, stationary, they all look the same. I’m not familiar with the Hawkinson clockwork piece. I’ve see the clock pieces where he hides the mechanism and uses unlikely objects as the hands, such as the brass clasp on the back of a manila envelope or the tab of a coke can.

RP: Spin Sink (1 Rev./100 Years) (1995), in contrast, is a 24-foot-long row of interlocking gears, the smallest of which is driven by a whirring toy motor that in turn drives each consecutively larger and more slowly turning gear up to the largest of all, which rotates approximately once every one hundred years.

PS: I don’t know how I missed it, it’s gorgeous. Linking the speed that we can barely see with one that we rarely have the patience to wait for.

RP: : So you say you’ve opted for the clock’s time scale to be transparent. How will the clock communicate how fast it’s going?

PS: By placing the clock in a mountain we have a reference to long time. The stratigraphy provides us with the slowest metric. The clock is a middle point between millennia and seconds. Looking back 10,000 years we find the beginnings of civilization. Looking at an earthenware vessel from that era we imagine its use, the contents, the craftsman. The images painted or inscribed on the outside provide some insight into the lives and the languages of the distant past. Often these interpretations are flawed, biased or over-reaching. What I’m most enchanted by is that we continue to construct possible pasts around these objects, that our curiosity is overwhelming. We line up to see the treasures of Tut, or the remains of frozen ancestors. With the clock we are asking you to create possible futures, long futures, and with them the narratives that made them happen.
