The Holographic Principle and Reality

Currently, I am researching my senior thesis, which will investigate whether holographic descriptions of physical systems provide mathematically meaningful frameworks for understanding information, dimensionality, complexity, and emergent structure.

More specifically, this project will use a mathematical foundation to understand the holographic principle in order to evaluate the so-called “Simulation Hypothesis” that some researchers claim emerges from holography.

The project will also use the information learned to consider the relationship between holography and reality, and discuss the philosophical and theological impacts of such conclusions.

Chaos: An Exploration
of a Modern Science

An extensive research project examining the mathematical foundations, historical development, and real-world applications of chaos theory. The final paper explores nonlinear dynamical systems, sensitivity to initial conditions, strange attractors, and deterministic unpredictability.

While a strong competency in undergraduate-level mathematics is necessary to grasp the chapter on the mathematics of chaos, the rest of the paper can be read and fully digested by any reader.
