Developed index — General

Part hub for the General branch of the Knowledge Base. Existing leaf chapters remain the archive; this page is the scientific map + reference spine.

At a glance

Unifying motif: structure-preserving relations (ratios, symmetries, maps).
Mind and measure: psychology, psychophysics, sociotropy / sociomorphing.
World and value: history, economy, philosophy, religion/myth, heritage.
Formal cores: mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine.

3. Core formal ideas (developed)

3.1 Symmetry and Noether

Definition. A symmetry of a system is an invertible transformation that leaves the relevant structure invariant.

Theorem (Noether, informal). Continuous symmetries of the action of a physical system correspond to conservation laws (energy, momentum, charge, …).

Reference. Noether, E. (1918). Invariante Variationsprobleme. Nachr. d. König. Gesellsch. d. Wiss. zu Göttingen.

3.2 Ratio and information

Shannon entropy $H(X)=-\sum_x p(x)\log p(x)$ quantifies uncertainty; mutual information (I(X;Y)) quantifies shared structure. See Information theory and Symmetries.

Reference. Shannon, C. E. (1948). A Mathematical Theory of Communication. Bell System Technical Journal, 27.

3.3 Perception as measurement

Psychophysics treats sensation as a measured response to controlled stimuli. Signal detection theory separates sensitivity ((d’)) from criterion ( $\beta$ ).

Reference. Green, D. M., & Swets, J. A. (1966). Signal Detection Theory and Psychophysics. Wiley.

Sociotropy: utility weight on interpersonal acceptance (vulnerability style).
Sociomorphing: attribution of social functions to non-humans without full anthropomorphism.
