189The part of the Ising Model that is interesting here is the Hamiltonian.
190 It is a sum of pair–wise interactions of nearest neighbors:
191\begin_inset Formula
192\[
193\mathcal{H}=-\sum_{ij}J_{ij}\sigma_{i}\sigma_{j}-\mu\sum_{j}h_{j}\sigma_{j}
194\]

199\begin_inset Formula $\sigma_{i}$

202 the spins.
203 I won't explain this.
204 I copied it from Wikipedia.
205 Read that article if you don't know what this is.

213I won't explain what Link Grammar (LG) is, or how it works.
214 Read the docs.
215 However, I want to write down a a Hamiltonian for it, which is something
216 that the Link Grammar docs do not do.
217 It is analogous to the Ising Model Hamiltonian:
218\begin_inset Formula
219\[
220\mathcal{H}=-\sum_{ijk\cdots}C_{ijk\cdots}w_{i}w_{j}w_{k}\cdots
221\]
222
223\end_inset
224
225The
226\begin_inset Formula $w_{i}$
227\end_inset
228
229 are the words in the sentence.
230 Written out here, in order to resemble the Ising Model.
231 The
232\begin_inset Formula $C_{ijk\cdots}$
233\end_inset
234
235 is meant to be the LG cost, a single real–valued floating point number,
236 of the the LG disjunct
237\begin_inset Formula $ijk\cdots$
238\end_inset
239
240.

244The analogy here is strained, and the notation is inadequate.
245 This is a brainstorm idea, so we'll fix the problems here later.
246 If the idea pans out.
