#asymptotic #walk #asymptotically

This is the area that touches on and immensely expands the ideas of #divergent #asymptotic series, the bread and butter of my meals, the hammer and nails of my tools, and the torchlight providing glimpses of transcendental #mathematical functions I work with… from @QuantaMagazine https://www.quantamagazine.org/alien-calculus-could-save-particle-physics-from-infinities-20230406/

@DeezyPuzzles I feel such "failure" often - failed guy, failed girl, failed gay, failed straight, failed adult... Winning at stereotypes is #asymptotic - you never really get there. At any point in the journey you can choose to believe current you is exactly who you are meant to be at the moment. Feeling a bit of "failure" is not the end. Make a leap of faith - your future is open!

Reactions in 2020 were all over the spectrum, polarized the "trans community", but most strongly in the "cancel" realm.

Where this issue is debated rather vividly.

As for #asymptotic, that's just my adaptation to the situation you described. At some point we all just have to be happy with how we look. You be you!

@Impossible_PhD Guess it _is_ a bit unconventional. Happy to explain any part of it, if you'd like... Main thought is that the pursuit of a particular physical appearance is #asymptotic - you can get closer and closer, but you will never exactly reach the goal. There will always be yet another increment available... You can choose at any point to believe you are "close enough". And in my experience, that's what the people I care about respond to.

@Impossible_PhD Your struggle reminds me of Fionne Orlander and the 2020 "Fix a Brick" campaign. I guess I'm odd, but when faced with issues of physical #verisimilitude, I retreat from the #asymptotic edge and focus on my mental evaluations of my situation. People respond much more readily to how I feel about myself than how I look.

Time for an #introduction. I'm a mathematician, working as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at Imperial College London.

I use #asymptotic and #spectral techniques to prove results about how wave propagate through complex materials.

I work on exciting problems concerning #metamaterials, #waveguides, the #cochlea and #sensors alongside some great collaborators.
