"Now, to return to the news article. If the eigenvalue distribution is an attractor, this means that a lot of physical and social phenomena which can be modeled by eigenvalues (including, apparently, quantum energy levels and some properties of statistical tests) might have a common structure. Just as, at a similar level, we see the normal distribution and related functions in all sorts of unusual places."

"What is it that mathematicians accomplish?"

"…We can also consider what happens when instead of only considering a single type of shuffling we consider combining the j! different shuffling rules that come from all the possible rearrangements of the ordering of the labels. And of course, perhaps the most important thing missing right now is a good magic trick that can be performed using this shuffling rule, which was the original motivation of Larry Carter and J.-C. Reyes who first suggested this problem!"

"The mean spectra were provided as input sequences to the Implicit Context Representation Cartesian Genetic Programming algorithm (IRCGP)[14,15]. IRCGP uses evolutionary computing methodology to learn classifiers that are capable of distinguishing between data classes. Induced classifiers take the form of programmatic expressions applied to particular offsets within the input data sequences. These expressions are composed from a set of simple mathematical functions. Both the choice and connectivity of the functions, and the choice of offsets used within the input sequences, are determined by the algorithm's evolutionary process. The input sequences were divided equally into training and test sets. To prevent over-learning, training of the classifiers was stopped once classification accuracy of the test sequences started to fall."
