Chapter 1: General Reflections on Medicine
To predict, it is necessary to find the nature of the network, such as predicting earthquakes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but the intrinsic nature changes with the change of the network. We can only make the probability increase through the limitation of multiple conditions, and the trend expressed by macro data is that the structural medicine of high-dimensional data only changes the survival rate of a part of a group locally, but it has no effect on the whole. Because lifespan is the basis for selective expression, the effect has a certain reserve, and the time for us humans to really survive is the result of expression. Just like the tax increase in economics, in the end, producers and consumers will share the consequences, but there is a lag effect, which is a countercurrent of the general trend and a resistant change, but because this is something that individuals can grasp, we humans attach so much importance to it. I can't change the whole, it's a big deal that I change myself to adapt to the environment. Therefore, the role of medicine is to have an impact on the individual, improve the probability of individual survival, but have an impact on the whole A higher level of cooperation, which is the reason for the prompting of life expectancy in modern society, is not very convincing, but in the distribution curve of the selective expression of the network, there is always more than the average value, and the proportion of the number exceeding a certain value is very low. There are very few characters such as Hua Tuo, Li Shizhen and so on, but once they appear, they will be famous in history. The overall significance is to enhance the boundaries of human cognition, so that the network can be expressed at a larger level, such as 60*60% less than 80*50%. Observed survivorship bias and the anthropic principle are important causes of cognitive bias, and human cognition is obtained through comparison and relative proportions. However, there is a decay in local information transmission, and the results of people with limited knowledge based on their life experience are deviated from the truth on a large scale of reality. For example, my relatives were cured by Chinese medicine, so they have no doubt that Chinese medicine is not healthy. In fact, there is a beautiful assumption about getting sick: my disease will definitely be cured, which modern science cannot do, and can only be maintained at a certain proportion to cure the disease. Therefore, looking for this causal relationship, such as acupuncture meridians, etc., is actually the search for the intrinsic path of the network, and more often than not, different objects within the network only have a certain correlation, and we quantify it as probability. The causal relationship we expect is actually the pathway of the network, that is, the result of the probability collapse, and the probability exceeds a certain threshold such as 98%. But the construction of this relationship is a human ability and habit of us, and on a larger scale, it is to connect with people and the world. Therefore, when we observe the path connection with a relatively high probability, we should explain it from the perspective of the network, starting from the quantum and continuously ascending the dimension traversal to construct a high-dimensional structure. Some of the connections constructed by TCM are to be drilled down to a higher dimensional perspective. For example, mumps in children is a disease that limits the course of the disease by itself, and the painting of a tiger in traditional Chinese medicine can treat mumps is actually a coincidence, but it is just a similar change in different phenomena of the higher-dimensional network, but there is no correlation in essence. For example, the correlation between the sales of ice cream and the drowning of children is essentially due to the similarity of the network changes caused by the rise in summer weather temperature and the similarity of the network level, and the control experiment we are using is to use various methods under macroscopic conditions to make the change at the quantum level, and the large-scale experiment makes the law emerge, and the power of the law of large numbers is used to use the empirical sense, and the Bayesian formula can be used to calculate, and the probability obtained is convenient for further development; 。 Keeping pace with the times, the construction of modern network theories sometimes has to go back and refer to past experience, because there may be relationships that we have not paid attention to. Because the construction of modern network theory is an operation of relations, based on very ideal assumptions, experience at this time can help us to correct it. In fact, ancient medical books may have put forward many interesting relationships, such as bloodletting: cutting the vein of the left arm to treat spleen disease, bleeding behind the knee to treat back pain, time, place, rhythm and so on. This suggests the heterogeneity of blood in different parts of the body, and is a breakthrough in our notion that blood is the same throughout the body. Of course, yes or no. The placebo effect shows that the complex nature of the body's network can grow is what TCM lacks, but network medicine can grow, because it can continue to try, and one of the development directions of TCM is to simulate the development of economics, first qualitative, then quantitative, according to mathematics to put forward various ideas, a hundred schools of thought contend, and finally the market will screen out really useful theories. Self-annealing of the network.
