The outline in TANS is very crude and abstract. The harmony algorithm does not take in information about use-value similarity, nor is that information used for quantity/price adjustments in reaction to demand.

There's literally no difference between Cockshott's take and Marx in Critique of the Gotha Programme, its just expanded with linear algebra the calculations which would actually be needed. There's no way to implement Marx's program in Gothakritik, without becoming at least a partial de facto Cockshottist.

Literally no one likes Cockshott because of reading his papers on gender. This is as dishonest as claiming people like Marx because of "On the Jewish Question". Yes he's a bit of a STEM autist, so what. Your posts are literally nothing but unsourced, unexplained shittery which are borderline spam tbh.
If you would like to make an informed critique on Cockshott's work on economic planning or political economy in general, go ahead. This thread and its predecessors has had many such debates on such matters, and economists such as Victor Magariño who actually did have informed critiques of Cockshott.
Any time people want to discuss his legitimately groundbreaking work on economic planning and refuting the Austrian calculation argument, some ass here bring up but what about muh LGBTQIAXYZS. I don't care.

You're acting like Cockshott is some uniquely reactionary force on the left which is a terminally burgerbrained radlib take, he's part of a whole wave of second-wave "gender critical" british boomer feminists. This doesn't excuse it but it does explain it other than calling him a nazbol.

He explained a few mathematical concepts as historic lesson that explained what kind of problem people solved with maths. That made it so much more accessible. If you're just doing maths as symbol manipulation it's going to be a mental grind, and that's why most people have lost interest in maths by the time they are adults.

it is important for economy because this way you can tell/test how material is move and extracted. as well as how much lets say work or energy you need for this
then you enter this into tables and simulate large construction or even simulate its entire process (with some ai probably)

Have you heard of this: Maximum Flow and Minimum-Cost Flow in Almost-Linear Time.
https://www.quantamagazine.org/researchers-achieve-absurdly-fast-algorithm-for-network-flow-20220608/<A team of computer scientists has come up with a dramatically faster algorithm for one of the oldest problems in computer science: maximum flow. The problem asks how much material can flow through a network from a source to a destination if the links in the network have capacity limits.Does Cockshott know about these recent developments? I'm not a programmer, but this seems highly relevant to me. And not just for delivery routes. We have several recipes for making the same product from different linear ingredient combinations, this must be part of the calculations (the harmony algorithm in its current form just assumes that there is only method per product), and it seems a similar problem (would be exactly identical if any two available recipes for the same product used any resources they both use in the same amount per unit produced).
No.1033125
>>1033086looks like this takes maximum flow from O(VE) to a little over O(E). nice. but planning is more complicated than just maximum flow. multi-commodity flows are more relevant
also Cockshott's harmony algorithm is a meme. it's just a shitty barrier method. read the LP literature and you will find many algorithms, most of which are better and have certain guaranteed properties like never violating feasibility
No.1033275
>>1033125Could you be more specific than
the LP literature? What is the fastest way to compute a method mix to maximize the number of units of a product with a given set of resources and recipes? And what is the fastest way to compute this for a basket of outputs and the task of maximizing these basket units?
No.1033326
>>1033275that depends on the size and nature of the problem. for sufficiently large problems you will never get an optimal solution. but in general you do this:
1. formulate the problem as a linear program
2. solve the linear program using glpk or lp_solve or your own solver
3. convert the LP solution to a solution to the original problem
for certain classes or problems there are faster solvers. a maximum flow solver will obviously be faster than a generic LP solver applied to the same problem

No.1033822
>>1033326>in general you do thisYeah yeah. But let's be specific. I believe it is likely that the labor-time quantities for the different products in the plan follow a power law and that the number of alternative recipes for a product also follows a power law and that a product's recipe number is positively correlated with person hours to make the product's target quantity (since the target quantity in the present correlates with the target quantity in the past & and the more people have worked on making something, the more ideas they tend to have about how to make it) and that the number of products/processes this or that input can be used for also follows a power law.
If an unsorted list of numbers follows a power law distribution, it makes sense to use a sorting algorithm tailored to such distribution. It's a similar situation here.
No.1034162
>>1033822what you are getting at is the fact that solvers and in particular heuristics tend to be tailored to each specific problem. therefore it's nearly useless to ask this until we actually have some kind of concrete system in place with real people involved. an actual humans-in-the-loop situation
you can if you want synthesize problems like what you describe and announce a competition to solve them as fast as possible on a given machine
you are right that input-output planning sucks and that we must be able to handle rectangular systems with joint production. dave zachariah is working on that
