math doesn't need to be the goal in order to be useful. by trying to write a formula, we have to think about what the terms are; what units we use; the scaling factors etc.

is the fundamental unit of progress? words / lines of code / constraints / axioms / frameworks /

and efficient? alignment / synchronization

and what units do we use for ai? cpu hours / parameter counts / tokens

given all of this, can we say that constraints are discovered at a certain pace relative to tokens of synthetic intelligence?

that frameworks of a certain complexity require a minimum parameter count?

to circle back, it would seem that synthetic intelligence is a tool that converts energy into conceptual progress
