Math meme: you haven't solved 4d YM until Wilson loop correlators are resurgent
basedjensen · x · 2026-10-28
An AI-math in-joke: "peak scientific performance does in fact involve moving the goalposts" — the quoted post quips that the 4d Yang-Mills problem isn't solved until you can say whether Wilson loop correlators are resurgent in the coupling constant. A wry take on mathematicians raising the bar each time AI clears one.
