One Operator to Rule Them All: Can eml(x, y) Redefine Symbolic Regression?
A Polish physicist proposes a single mathematical operation, eml(x, y) = eˣ – ln(y), that could theoretically reconstruct any elementary function—from exponentials to π—using only nested calls. While the idea mirrors the universality of NAND gates in logic, numerical instability and computational c…
