warning Trial and Error
The difference between intelligence and wisdom is that an intelligent person knows all the theory and practices to solve a problem, but a wise person knows which theories and practices are best suited solve the particular problem.
There will always be an element of Trial and Error in tree planting. A goal of PlantaBETA is to minimize Trial and Error's role in learning how to be a Planter.
Decrease the time it takes to train a NovicePlanter
Horizontal Timeline of Novice Season
- Novices usually take about a month before they can consistently plant a the same rate as experienced Planters.
- Make the learning process more intense and shorter.
- Learn as much as possible during the days leading up to the season start.
- Lay the theoretical foundations before practicing planting in the field.
Decrease the time it takes to master Tree Planting
- Learn all the tricks and tips in fewer seasons.
- Diminishing returns after the third year.
Reduce the number of Principles
Simplification: Converting complex, multi-variable problems into single-variable or lower-degree problems.
Computational Efficiency: Making long, tedious calculations, such as repeated integration, more efficient.
techniques used to simplify complex problems, equations, or structures into more manageable forms.
The reduction of mathematical principles is a foundational process in mathematical innovation, driving the advancement of the field by simplifying, formalizing, and unifying diverse mathematical theories into more abstract and manageable frameworks. This process, often referred to as reductionism or logicism, aims to define complex mathematical concepts in terms of fewer, more basic axioms and rules, thereby enhancing rigor and uncovering deeper connections between seemingly disparate branches of mathematics
the minimum requirements for mathematical truths.
Reduction can connect different areas of math. For example, reductionism in geometry allowed for the replacement of Euclidean principles with more general, simpler ones.
Theory reductionism: the suggestion that a newer theory does not replace or absorb an older one, but reduces it to more basic terms. Theory reduction itself is divisible into three parts: translation, derivation, and explanation
