PC「プリンキピア：マスター・オブ・サイエンス」早期アクセス版が配信―近代科学の礎を築く科学史シミュレーション

アクティブゲーミングメディアは、PCダウンロードソフト「プリンキピア：マスター・オブ・サイエンス」早期アクセス版の配信を、9月9日よりPLAYISMおよびSteamにて開始した。

「プリンキピア：マスター・オブ・サイエンス」は、17世紀のヨーロッパ科学界をテーマに、アイザック・ニュートンをはじめとする当時実在した14名の科学者のうちの1人となって研究活動を行うシミュレーションゲームだ。

プレイヤーは「天文学」「力学」「熱力学」「生物学」「光学」「数学」の6つの分野からテーマを選び、ライバルより先に成果を上げて論文を提出する。時には(褒められたものではないものの)ライバルの研究を妨害をすることもできる。

まだ「サイエンス(科学)」という言葉が使われていなかった時代、近代科学の礎を築くのは果たして誰なのか？

本作は2000年に開催された第4回アスキーエンターテインメントソフトウェアコンテスト(通称Aコン)で準グランプリを受賞した作品(プリンキピア)のリメイク版として製作された。システム、グラフィック、サウンドが大幅に強化されたただけではなく、前作では実装できなかった「最終テーマ」や「勲爵叙任」などの要素が追加された、「完全版」と呼べるものだという。

また音楽は、このゲームのために作曲された6曲すべてが弦楽四重奏の演奏をスタジオで収録、使用。可能な限り史実に基づいて製作しているため、遊びながら科学史の知識が身につくような作品になっている。

なお今回は早期アクセス版としてリリースされているが、ゲームのシステムはほぼ完成しているとのこと。今後はSteamシステム(実績、トレーディングカードなど)への対応、ゲームバランスの調整、グラフィック・サウンドなどの演出の改善が予定されている。http://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/201609120009/

{\bf Abstract: } In this announcement, for its importance we would like to state the

situation on the division by zero and propose basic new challenges.

\bigskip

\section{Introduction}

%\label{sect1}

By a {\bf natural extension} of the fractions

\begin{equation}

\frac{b}{a}

\end{equation}

for any complex numbers $a$ and $b$, we found the simple and beautiful result, for any complex number $b$

\begin{equation}

\frac{b}{0}=0,

\end{equation}

incidentally in \cite{s} by the Tikhonov regularization for the Hadamard product inversions for matrices and we discussed their properties and gave several physical interpretations on the general fractions in \cite{kmsy} for the  case of real numbers.

 The division by zero has a long and mysterious story over the world (see, for example, Google site with the division by zero) with its physical viewpoints since the document of zero in India on AD 628,  however,

  Sin-Ei Takahasi (\cite{kmsy}) established a simple and decisive interpretation (1.2) by analyzing the extensions of fractions and by showing the complete characterization for the property (1.2):

 \bigskip

 {\bf  Proposition 1. }{\it Let F be a function from  ${\bf C }\times {\bf C }$  to ${\bf C }$ satisfying

$$

F (b, a)F (c, d)= F (bc, ad) 

$$

for all

$$

a, b, c, d  \in {\bf C }

$$

and

$$

F (b, a) = \frac {b}{a },  \quad   a, b  \in  {\bf C }, a \ne 0.

$$

Then, we obtain, for any $b \in {\bf C } $

$$

F (b, 0) = 0.

$$

}

 Note that the complete proof of this proposition is simply given by  2 or 3 lines.

\medskip

We thus should consider, for any complex number $b$, as  (1.2);

that is, for the mapping

\begin{equation}

w = \frac{1}{z},

\end{equation}

the image of $z=0$ is $w=0$ ({\bf should be defined}). This fact seems to be a curious one in connection with our well-established popular image for the  point at infinity on the Riemann sphere. Therefore, the division by zero will give great impacts to complex analysis and to our ideas for the space and universe.

However, the division by zero (1.2) is now clear, indeed, for the introduction of (1.2), we have several independent approaches as in:

\medskip

1) by the generalization of the fractions by the Tikhonov regularization or by the Moore-Penrose generalized inverse,

\medskip

2) by the intuitive meaning of the fractions (division) by H. Michiwaki,

\medskip

3) by the unique extension of the fractions by S. Takahasi,   as in the above,

\medskip

4) by the extension of the fundamental function $W = 1/z$ from ${\bf C} \setminus \{0\}$ into ${\bf C}$ such that $W =1/z$ is a one to one and onto mapping from $ {\bf C} \setminus \{0\} $ onto ${\bf C} \setminus \{0\}$ and the division by zero $1/0=0$ is a one to one and onto mapping extension of the function $W =1/z $ from  ${\bf C}$ onto ${\bf C}$,

\medskip

and

\medskip

5) by considering the values of functions with the mean values of functions.

\medskip

Furthermore, in (\cite{msy}) we gave the results in order to show the reality of the division by zero in our world:

\medskip

\medskip

A) a field structure  containing the division by zero --- the Yamada field ${\bf Y}$,

\medskip

B)  by the gradient of the $y$ axis on the $(x,y)$ plane --- $\tan \frac{\pi}{2} =0$,

\medskip

C) by the reflection $W =1/\overline{z}$ of $W= z$ with respect to the unit circle with center at the origin on the complex $z$ plane --- the reflection point of zero is zero,

\medskip

and

\medskip

D) by considering rotation of a right circular cone having some very interesting

phenomenon  from some practical and physical problem.

\medskip

In (\cite{mos}),  many division by zero results in Euclidean spaces are given and  the basic idea at the point at infinity should be changed. In (\cite{ms}), we gave beautiful geometrical interpretations of determinants from the viewpoint of the division by zero. The results show that the division by zero is our basic and elementary mathematics in our world.

\medskip

See  J. A. Bergstra, Y. Hirshfeld and J. V. Tucker \cite{bht} for the relationship between fields and the division by zero, and the importance of the division by zero for computer science. It seems that the relationship of the division by zero and field structures are abstract in their paper.

Meanwhile,  J. P.  Barukcic and I.  Barukcic (\cite{bb}) discussed recently the relation between the divisions $0/0$, $1/0$ and special relative theory of Einstein. However, their logic seems to be curious and their results contradict with ours.

 Furthermore,  T. S. Reis and J.A.D.W. Anderson (\cite{ra,ra2}) extend the system of the real numbers by introducing an ideal number for the division by zero $0/0$.

 Meanwhile, we should refer to up-to-date information:

\medskip

Here, we recall Albert Einstein's words on mathematics:

Blackholes are where God divided by zero.

I don't believe in mathematics.

George Gamow (1904-1968) Russian-born American nuclear physicist and cosmologist remarked that "it is well known to students of high school algebra" that division by zero is not valid; and Einstein admitted it as {\bf the biggest blunder of his life} [1]：

1. Gamow, G., My World Line (Viking, New York). p 44, 1970.

 For our ideas on the division by zero, see the survey style announcements 179,185,237,246,247,250 and 252 of the Institute of Reproducing Kernels (\cite{ann179,ann185,ann237,ann246,ann247,ann250,ann252,ann293}).

\section{On mathematics}

Apparently, the division by zero is a great missing in our mathematics and the result (1.2) is definitely determined as our basic mathematics, as we see from Proposition 1.  Note  its very general assumptions and  many fundamental evidences in our world in (\cite{kmsy,msy,mos}). The results will give great impacts  on Euclidean spaces, analytic geometry, calculus, differential equations, complex analysis and  physical problems. See our announcements for the details.

The mysterious history of the division by zero over one thousand years is a great shame of  mathematicians and human race on the world history, like the Ptolemaic system (geocentric theory). The division by zero will become a typical  symbol of foolish human race with long and unceasing struggles. Future people will realize this fact as a definite common sense.

We should check and fill our mathematics, globally and beautifully, from the viewpoint of the division by zero. Our mathematics will be more perfect and beautiful,  and will give great impacts to our basic ideas on the universe.

\section{Albert Einstein's biggest blunder}

The division by zero is directly related to the Einstein's theory and various

physical problems

containing the division by zero.  Now we should check the theory and the problems by the concept of the RIGHT and DEFINITE division by zero. Now is the best time since 100 years from Albert Einstein. It seems that the background knowledge is timely fruitful.

\section{Computer systems}

The above Professors listed are wishing the contributions in order to avoid the zero division trouble in computers. Now,  we should arrange  new computer systems in order not to meet the division by zero trouble in computer systems.

\section{General  ideas on the universe}

The division by zero may be related to religion,  philosophy and the ideas on the universe, and it will creat a new world. Look the new world.

\bigskip

We are standing on a new  generation and in front of the new world, as in the discovery of the Americas.
