Path integral formulation of your life.
Path Integral Formulation of your life. I know that if I were to draw my life, it will have so many kinks, and loops and several places where there are discontinuities. And oh, yah, I also have a couple of year where I have no idea what I was doing, and a few twists and turns making it unintegrable!

Everyone starts off alive, ends up dead, doesn’t matter which path they take.
Conclusion: life is a conservative vector field.
Seems that the path integral is the mathematical-physics version of the psychological Principle of Equifinality… basically the notion that there are many different developmental pathways to get from birth to death – and all points in-between. Indeed, life is very much a conservative vector field.
Basis for my interest in seeing where physics and psychology touch each other (ooh – er!):
BA-equivalence: Applicable Psychology, with a minor in Mathematical Sciences
M. Ed. in Special Education (Applied Educational Psychology)
C. P. S. E. in Educational/Organisational Ethno-Psychology/Psycho-Anthropology
I tend to cross the models over from one discipline to the other (e. g., the understanding that the very act of observing a system or part of a system inevitably affects the system… Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle in physics leads us to Stack Sullivan’s ideas of being a participant observer, and so on).
Well it all depends on your coordinate system. If you put money, or happiness on one of your axis, then life is very much a NON-conservative vector field.
