quantisation

The fundamental problem is that many measurement errors such as quantisation are correlated, and the laws of large numbers only apply up to a certain point.

When I was an undergraduate in the late eighties, we had tabletop discussion about the CA thing, and if they could be scaled into a continous limit, or related to quantisation, or whatever.

That is, only fields need to be included in the fundamental concepts, and ˜particles™ are a derived concept, unlike what is suggested by the customary introduction of fields through a process of ˜second quantisation™.

You can improve a little on the nominal quantisation by averaging, since some of the ambiguous cases can be influenced by where they are, but below a certain resolution no information can get through the filter of observation, and the accuracy cannot be improved beyond this point.

But it does very definitely matter that quantisation errors are correlated with the true value, and with each other.

But in climate measurements there are a whole range of temperatures that occur, and the quantisation error is each case will be different.

I understand median as the middle value regardless of distribution and since temperature has infinite variability, ignoring quantisation, the middle value would be midpoint between the two.

Now whether the quantisation pushes it up or down depends on whether those true values close to the half way points change relative frequencies depending on the precise value; the unambiguous ones always get pushed the same way.

If we try to just copy the quantisation of the electromagnetic field in terms of photons we should quantize the gravity field into so-called gravitons.

It was not expected, however, that the quantisation rule would apply with a high accuracy.
