Solving the n-body Problem
General Physics, a California-based corporation committed to advancing fundamental physics and computational methods, is pioneering a transformative mathematical approach to a problem that has plagued classical dynamics for centuries: the general n-body problem. Traditional analytical solutions for n greater than 3 have proven elusive, necessitating computationally intensive simulations. Our research proposes a shift from continuous differential equations in position space to

MD versus PIC-FEM
Both Molecular Dynamics (MD) with a Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential and the Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method with a Finite Element Method (FEM) mesh are computational approaches for modeling plasma, but they operate on vastly different scales and principles, making them suitable for distinct aspects of an H-mode fusion plasma in a stellarator-tokamak hybrid. MD, an atomistic, first-principles technique using the LJ potential (designed for neutral, non-bonded atoms, and a crude appr

ICNSP 2025 Summary
The Totality of ICNSP 2025: Charting the Computational Frontier of Fusion Plasma The pursuit of practical fusion energy stands as one of humanity's greatest scientific and engineering challenges. At General Physics, we understand that unlocking this potential hinges on our ability to model and predict the complex, non-linear dynamics of plasma. This commitment to computational fidelity was powerfully reaffirmed at the recent International Conference on Numerical Simulation of

Shapes Beyond Sine: Hilbert's Space Filling Curve
Traditional approaches in periodic function mapping and the understanding of how oscillatory behavior are modeled mean two things. One: the basic ideas of periodicity are tied to a cosine and sine approach. Two: interpretations of physical waves come from recursion relations and differential expressions. The innovations that modern physicists who study fractals bring to the forefront of eikonals are the multi-valued and space filling curve of Hilbert. Physical waves have to m

Emergence and Scale Invariance
What General Physics finds interesting in physics, is pattern recognition. Applications to cryptography, Fourier analysis of signals, forecasting weather, modeling the climate, predicting the economy, and understanding adversarial activity all involve the predictable patterning in mathematics that General Physics plans to spearhead in the upcoming year. Optimization and tools like linearization, regression, error correction, lateral adaptation, and turning discrete models fro

States of the Tunneling Stylus
Electron conduction in metals involves the Drude model, the Heisenberg chain model, and various types of band structures that describe the energetic landscape and dispersion relation of charged particles as they travel like waves in lattices in various dimensions. This is really complicated and best described in modern physics by the Schrödinger equation, whose wave recursion relation describes the spatial curvature of a particle as its kinetic energy and the potential energy

Physics Informed Neural Networks, Discrete Versus Continuous Functions, Fractal Dimensions, and Nature
There was a recent nanoHUB discussion of Physics Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and phase difference calculations utilizing differential relations described by interacting nodes in a connectionist paradigm of discrete error correction, generating a continuum of solution sets for a description of a physical system. The question at the heart of the discussion was whether a digital and discrete logic circuit - be it transistor array, quantized qubit Hamiltonian, or PINN - can

Adversarial Activity Monitoring
Adversarial activity monitoring involves detecting and analyzing the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors, often mapped to frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK. The tools used are generally categorized based on where they sit in the security architecture and what type of activity they are designed to detect. Here are some of the key tools and categories: 1. Core Detection & Analysis Platforms These systems collect and analyze massive amounts of security da

Scale Invariant CMB Analysis
Mathematical analysis and the architecture of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) show that it is a realistic fractal, remarkably close to being scale invariant, a property that is a defining feature of self similar shapes or fractional dimensional curves. The near perfect scale invariance of the CMB's primordial fluctuations provides one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the theory of cosmic inflation. This inflation is deeply rooted in general relativity and quantum
