Fluctuation and dissipation

Speaking about these last master (chef’s) strokes before the main dish of the electoral cycle in the US is served,

I’d like to bring your attention to an interesting detail from the meeting of experts in political science in comments section under the discussion of one Halloween gift basket of deplorables.

Google-owned, and hence Google Translate neural network-integrating, YouTube kindly comes up with links to auto-translation of such immortal three letter entities as FJB and FYM.

But not FDT! YT doesn’t offer a translation for this.

Not that I needed a translation at all, but it pleased me to see how even laymen begin to apply widely a tool as potent as Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem in prediction of the behaviour of sociopolitical systems.

Because, indeed, discovery of the time evolution of the observables in the presence of a strong perturbing factor would be the first small step toward bringing change to a flawed existing system.

As the Terminator franchise teaches us, truck chases and plane shows are equally useful for salvation of the world, which is plagued by nonlinear problems, in bifurcation points.

The world is watching.

Every day from this day on without a gaffe is a gift. Use it well.
