مصطلحات موضوعية: Quantum Physics, Physics - Classical Physics, Physics - Data Analysis, Statistics and Probability
الوصف: Many widely different problems have a common mathematical structure wherein limited knowledge lead to ambiguity that can be captured conveniently using a concept of invisibility that requires the introduction of negative values for quantities that are inherently positive. Here I analyze three examples taken from perception theory, rigid body mechanics, and quantum measurement.
