Abstract In the Big Bang Theory and the Black Hole Theory, the existing laws of physics all fail atthe singularity, and the singularity has become a blind spot in the existing scientific theories. In Cosmiccontinuum, the cosmic system collapse into a Schwarzschild black hole under the action of a stronggravitational field, and the Planck spheres at the center of the black hole continues to collapse into darkmass bodies, forming dark celestial body and singularity. The Schwarzschild radius is the upper limit ofa black hole, and the Planck sphere is the lower limit of a black hole. The singularity is the conversionpoint between the old and new cosmic systems. The singularity erupts the Planck spheres under theaction of a strong gravitational field, and the Planck spheres expands outward to form a new cosmicsystem. The Planck sphere is both the end of the old cosmic system and the starting point of the newcosmic system. The black hole collapse and the singularity eruption are mirror images of each other.The Planck sphere is the front of the mirror, and the singularity is the back of the mirror.

Learning in visuomotor adaptation tasks is the result of both explicit and implicit processes. Explicit processes, operationalized as re-aiming an intended movement to a new goal, account for a significant proportion of learning. However, implicit processes, operationalized as error-dependent learning that gives rise to aftereffects, appear to be highly constrained. The limitations of implicit learning are highlighted in the mirror-reversal task, where implicit corrections act in opposition to performance. This is surprising given the mirror-reversal task has been viewed as emblematic of implicit learning. One potential issue not being considered in these studies is that both explicit and implicit processes were allowed to operate concurrently, which may interact, potentially in opposition. Therefore, we sought to further characterized implicit learning in a mirror-reversal task with a clamp design to isolate implicit learning from explicit strategies. We confirmed that implicit adaptation is in the wrong direction for mirror-reversal and operates as if the perturbation were a rotation, and only showed a moderate attenuation after three days of training. This result raised the question of whether implicit adaptation blindly operates as though perturbations were a rotation. In a separate experiment, which directly compared a mirror-reversal and a rotation, we found that implicit adaptation operates in a proper coordinate system for different perturbations: adaptation to a mirror-reversal and rotational perturbation is more consistent with Cartesian and polar coordinate systems, respectively. It remains an open question why implicit process would be flexible to the coordinate system of a perturbation but continue to be directed inappropriately.

How do people learn to perform tasks that require continuous adjustments of motor output, like riding a bicycle? People rely heavily on cognitive strategies when learning discrete movement tasks, but such time-consuming strategies are infeasible in continuous control tasks that demand rapid responses to ongoing sensory feedback. To understand how people can learn to perform such tasks without the benefit of cognitive strategies, we imposed a rotation/mirror reversal of visual feedback while participants performed a continuous tracking task. We analyzed behavior using a system identification approach which revealed two qualitatively different components of learning: adaptation of a baseline controller and formation of a new, task-specific continuous controller. These components exhibited different signatures in the frequency domain and were differentially engaged under the rotation/mirror reversal. Our results demonstrate that people can rapidly build a new continuous controller de novo and can simultaneously deploy this process with adaptation of an existing controller.

Learning in visuomotor adaptation tasks is the result of both explicit and implicit processes. Explicit processes, operationalized as re-aiming an intended movement to a new goal, account for the lion's share of learning while implicit processes, operationalized as error-dependent learning that gives rise to aftereffects, appear to be highly constrained. The limitations of implicit learning are highlighted in the mirror-reversal task, where implicit corrections act in opposition to performance. This is surprising given the mirror-reversal task has been viewed as emblematic of implicit learning.

The Kolakoski sequence $S$ is the unique element of \(\left\lbrace 1,2 \right\rbrace^{\omega}\) starting with 1 and coinciding with its own run length encoding. We use the parity of the lengths of particular subclasses of initial words of \(S\) as a unifying tool to address the links between the main open questions - recurrence, mirror/reversal invariance and asymptotic density of digits. In particular we prove that recurrence implies reversal invariance, and give sufficient conditions which would imply that the density of 1s is \(\frac{1}{2}\).

While the mechanisms generating the topographic organization of primary sensory areas in the neocortex are well studied, what generates secondary cortical areas is virtually unknown. Using physical parameters representing primary and secondary visual areas as they vary from monkey to mouse, we derived a network growth model to explore if characteristic features of secondary areas could be produced from correlated activity patterns arising from V1 alone. We found that V1 seeded variable numbers of secondary areas based on activity-driven wiring and wiring-density limits within the cortical surface. These secondary areas exhibited the typical mirror-reversal of map topography on cortical area boundaries and progressive reduction of the area and spatial resolution of each new map on the caudorostral axis. Activity-based map formation may be the basic mechanism that establishes the matrix of topographically organized cortical areas available for later computational specialization.
