And isn't it fun, considering the nature of space as fundamentally a priori and subjective, that intuitionism, in its basic symbolism, is grounded in symbols which require primitive geometric properties (arrows, angles, etc.)?Skepdick wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 10:38 amThis argument happened 100 years ago in Mathematics between the Platonists, Formalists and Intuitionists.Eodnhoj7 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 9:22 pm Actually the assumptions cannot be reduced to anything besides "forms" at there most basic level and the computer's basic input output operation is strictly a linear/cyclic form....even this is an "assumption" hence it is its own foundation that follow the same form and function of this "system".
I am not really sure if anybody won or lost that argument. In the end you can interpret it whichever way you want because in the end Mathematics is just syntax. Semantics comes from interpretation.
My bias is Intuitionism. As I would say that a Formalist is a closet Intuitionist, so a Formalist would say I am a closet Formalist too.
If we can agree on each others' propositions - who cares?
Intuitionist logic is very closely grounded to pure form.
