Chub, if we get what I'm predicting then my assertion is that it is the result of an extrasomatic intelligence. the relevance of that to a singularity event is that if some part of intelligence is not connected to ANY physical substrate then it may be impossible to create SAI. Maybe not, but the other possibility is that SAI could be created just by focusing our organic minds on the creation of an extrasomatic entity.

Man do I love seeing all those 3's!!!!!!

[macdog]

And remember Chub, no more than 45 rolls a day!

[macdog]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the odds of rolling 5 dice to all 3's is 1 in 7776!!!!

Ofr course, that's the same as getting to any particular set, but still, given as I've made predictions I think that's pretty interesting.

IF THERE ARE ANY ENTITIES IN THE WORLD IT'S THE GREMLIN IN MY PRINTER!!!!!

Okay, I've printed out everything from the results so far, and since right now I don't have a job or a life, I'll analyze the number by tommorrow evening.

You know, if we really can create this Dice entity, we could make a killing getting together and playing craps in Vegas. hmmmm

Here's something from Hoyle's Rules of Games:

Dice are the most ancient gambling implements known to man, and the most universal, having been known in nearly all parts of the world since earliest times. Today they are used in some games of skill, such as Backgammon, but are used chiefly in gambling games. In the United States the most popular dice game is CRAPS.

Okay, got some preliminary results, and the reductionists have taken an early lead. I might be nuts, but at least I'm fair.

Total number of rolls: 345

Total # of primes 2,3,5: (I still think 1 is prime, those darn mathematical abstractions!!!!): 178

Percent of primes: 51.59% A slight lead, but I not outside the realm of expected variability

Sum of rolls: 1235

Ave roll value: 3.57 darn

And oh yeah, I included this set of rolls in the above

Looked at these numbers again, and I may have found something interesting. At the least it can allow us to discuss what is "statistically significant"

I added up all the numbers that are both odd and prime, essentially just including 1's. Since 4 of 6 of sides of dice qualify, the statistical likelihood is 66.66 percent (my computer is acting strangely when I try to type the percent sign, this darn antique), but it comes out to 60.57 percent.

So I looked at 1's, there are 50 total. 16.66 percent should be how it works out, but it comes to 14.49 percent.

Does Dice dislike 1's?

Does Dice dislike 1's?

macdog you are insane.

[chubtoad]

Macdog can you please explain why you expect to get a average value for these dice rolls below 3? Exactly what element of physics or probability do you think is wrong? And what does this have to do with the singularity??

Indeed my brain is wired in an unorthodox fashion.
I have responses to the questions you posed, but I'm going to push discussion into the other thread in this forum, so this one doesn't get too unweildy, as I am nothing if not locquacious. So I'll be writing it offline and try to get in to SEI v. SAI tonight.

But for now I'll roll.

Okay Chubtoad, I had asked for some discretion to be used on the number of rolls. I know you're an editor, and it's at your discretion this stuff lives or dies, I think we should avoid swamping the boat. That said, I will analyze an set of data you wish to input, but please do them in bulk posts as I have an easier time doing this stuff on hard copy and printing excess boxes is heck on my ink budget. Your consideration in this matter is appreciated.

I will also be simply including some figures I posted in post in the OPEN forum. They can hardly be considered biased.
