Apply for Institutional Early Access →The Formal Theorem
Analytical Intuition.
Heat Equation is Average-Seeking Flow. Energy moves from hot to cold to minimize curvature. Surfaces smooth out over time. Models diffusion of heat, chemicals, and probability.
CAUTION
Institutional Warning.
Infinite speed of propagation in the basic model. A spark here is felt (infinitesimally) everywhere instantly.
