Fumfer Physics 35: Cognitive Limits, Big Data, and AI’s Role in Human Reasoning
In this exchange, Scott Douglas Jacobsen asks what human consciousness cannot process adequately. Rick Rosner argues that people hit hard limits with big data, large parameter spaces, and even simple mental representations like number grids. Computers can find correlations, but humans struggle to hold enough information at once to test whether patterns are causal. Rosner suggests AI could surface correlations and generate wide-ranging analogies across culture at superhuman scale, while humans remain responsible for interpretation and meaning. He extends the point to scientific imagination—alternative cosmologies and modified-gravity ideas—and notes AI may help break cognitive ruts, even if it is not yet a top-tier theoretical mathematician.

Shaping the Future Without Losing the Feeling: Certtifed on Music and Meaning
In today’s music industry, success is often measured in streams, followers, and chart rankings. Rising music artist Certtifed, however, offers a perspective that goes far beyond numbers, choosing instead to focus on impact, personal growth, and purpose. In an era where digital metrics dominate conversations around artistry, Certtifed’s mindset reflects a deeper understanding of longevity and meaning within music. On what success means to him, Certtifed shares, “Success to me goes far beyond streams, followers, or rankings. Real success is impact. When someone tells me my music helped them get through a hard moment, stay motivated, or feel understood, that means more than any number.” This belief underscores his commitment to creating music that resonates emotionally rather than simply performing well statistically. For Certtifed, the true value of music lies in how it connects with people during vulnerable or defining moments in their lives. He further explains that his measure of achievement is rooted in meaningful connection and internal progress. “I measure success by how many lives I touch, how much I’ve grown as a person, and whether I’m walking in my purpose. The numbers will come, but the legacy is what matters to me.” This outlook highlights his long-term vision as an artist—one that prioritizes growth, self-awareness, and intention over quick wins or fleeting trends. By focusing on purpose, Certtifed positions himself to build a lasting career grounded in authenticity.
