A Correspondence Theorem in the Maximum Entropy Framework

📅 2020
technical research breakthrough
⚪ Common
#world modeling

📖 Description

Classical mechanics didn't work any less well once we discovered quantum, Galilean relativity and Newtonian gravity didn't work any less well once we discovered special and general relativity, etc. This is the [correspondence principle](https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/bohr-correspondence/#GenCorPri), aka [Egan's Law](https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/egans-law): in general, to the extent that old models match reality, new models must reproduce the old.
