As requested by the organisers the talk will consist of my reminiscences of how the different intellectual streams of quantum chaology and Riemannology became intermingled, with benefit to both.
In the lecture some concepts of the emerging science of chaology are illustrated by means of a simple machine.
Yet their treatment from a quantum point of view - a subject called quantum chaology - proves to be problematic.
The new, interdisciplinary subfield of quantum chaology studies semiclassical, but nonclassical phenomena in quantal systems whose classical counterparts exhibit the transition to chaotic dynamics.
We want to lift the restrictions imposed on this old concept by the recent mathematical chaology, identifying only a family of dynamic processes transcending linearity, or the geometry of fractals, transcending scales and the integer-dimensions.

A close examination of our surroundings, as has been done by chaologists, has revealed a whole lot of fractal shapes every way they have looked: from seashores and clouds, even to the stock market.
Example sentencesExamples
Fractal scientists and chaologists, in contrast, operate from the assumption that natural systems are necessarily nonlinear, dynamic, and disordered.
Both of these clues should help quantum chaologists zero in on the one system that will prove the Riemann hypothesis.
Legend has it that a group of early chaologists in Santa Cruz would sit in cafes looking for strange attractors through the window.
As I was finishing college, chaologists, a new breed of scientists, made public their fascinating discoveries: a methodology for describing deeper levels of order in nature.
