Isn't renormalization a technique by which divergent integrals can yield finite results? How would it be a mechanism by which anything operates?

Read up on renormalization groups.

There's this very fundamental problem in a lot of sciences, given some phenomena, find the patterns to compress the phenomena without knowing all the patterns a priori.

It's like wavelet decomposition where your wavelets are updates as new data is coming in.

That's renormalization.

The fundamental problem is that you keep coming up with random bullshit to post on HN and you keep inviting people to your discord basement to discuss it.

To whom is it a problem?

Elaborate, what's bullshit?

Want to come? I can explain it to you.
