I wrote a stats article on my blog but I'm not sure if the math is right. I'm not a statistician, and so I'm not sure if there's a glaring issue with my article I simply haven't noticed.
If someone could look it over I'd really appreciate it https://thomashansen.xyz/blog/elect
I also posted it on scored https://scored.co/c/math/p/19AKhjmu

I discovered the ultimate theory of everything, the answer to all the questions in the universe that solves all the questions in physics and will allow us to travel faster than light. Only a genius like me could have come come up with something as brilliant as this (this is why Peter Thiel has selected me as his confidant).
The answer?
Simple: the Shiab operator. Unfortunately, I forgot how it's defined.
This will not stop me from going on a lecture tour and going on Joe Rogan to explain why I am a giga super genius.

Determinism is an ontological assumption rather than a proper scientific claim. There's no way to falsify it because any degree of empirically observable unpredictability can always be attributed to epistemological limitations, even though such limitations are themselves an inherent property of reality that stems from physical laws rather than just practical limitations. The predictability you think you observe is partly the product of external imposition and partly the product of selection bias. If reality was predictable, there wouldn't be a need to create artificial laboratory conditions and then still discard outliers from the data.

🧵 Mapping Combinatorial Search Spaces to Continuous Search Spaces via Circle Transforms

Framework (TSP inspired):
Key Invariance Principle: The theory centers on a transform that maps geometric configurations through force circles, which encode geometric constraints and reveal pathways between valid configurations. Crucially, at any chosen radius, the original figure can be exactly reconstructed, this is because the transform circle’s circumference is set equal to the Euclidean perimeter, ensuring that the arcs between candidate midpoints maintain their true lengths.
The fundamental elements are:
1. Configuration Mapping Mechanism
- Each point in a geometric configuration is associated with a "force circle"
- The force circle is centered on its point with radius equal to the point's distance from the configuration's centroid
- These force circles remain invariant through transformations
2. Transform Circle Properties
- Points are mapped onto a circle with radius R = perimeter/(2π)
- Angular positions preserve relative distances from the centroid
- Arc lengths between adjacent points maintain proportional relationships from the original configuration
3. Geometric Preservation Properties
- Valid configurations emerge where force circle intersections create midpoints
- Total perimeter is preserved through arc length conservation
- When scaling between configurations (e.g., square with C=4 to C=4.828), proportional relationships are maintained (see attached)
4. Configuration Discovery Mechanism
- As the transform circle's radius changes, points spread or contract while maintaining their geometric relationships
- Force circle intersections create paths that midpoints follow
- When a midpoint lies within multiple force circles, it can split to reveal alternative valid configurations
- Each split point represents a distinct valid geometric configuration

How do I publish a paper if all I have is 1 degree and no scientific equipment?
Aside from the intrinsical scientific quality, how long and/or formally correct must the paper be in order to be accepted?
Also, how do I make sure my paper actually says something new, in order to avoid make myself look like pic related? How do I know whether my idea was already tried before or not? Searching through the literature looks like an herculean chore, if my search is too vague I end up with thousands of papers, it it's too specific I end up with nothing at all
