Without any prompts, the algorithm analyzed the cosmic microwave background into notes and found a rhythm no theory had predicted. It's not a simple wave: on large scales it slows down, like the bass string of the cosmos. Perhaps this is the echo of an era when space itself expanded faster than conceivable, breaking the usual laws. From this discovery to the pulsating universes of sci-fi is just one scientific step.
🎯 The symbolic regression algorithm independently 'invented' the function cos(B/k) without any theoretical hints—a similar approach previously rediscovered Kepler's laws from observational data.
🎬 The image of a universe pulsating in a cosmic rhythm echoes the cyclical worlds of Ursula K. Le Guin, where time flows backward and the structure of reality is defined by periodic patterns.
