Re: How much freedom does math have?

To summate the argument above, natural number must have a prerequisite set of mirroring properties to form them considering the continual synthesis is dependent upon a constant form of intradimensional self-forming and extraddimensional self-projection...if that makes sense. Yes, you understand per...

Re: How deep is math?

Let n = 0 to 3 and y becomes 2, 3, 5 and 9. Compare with the 2nd column and you will see they are the same. Coincidence? A sample size of four data points doesn't count for much. Of course no finite set of data points can ever be sufficient. There are many numerical patterns that go on for millions...

Re: What are the achievements of Logic?

But I thought Godel proved that first order predicate logic was sound and complete? Is there a difference between mathematical induction and logical induction? Briefly, the competeness theorem says there's a model if and only if there's a proof. (Semantic truth = syntactic provability). The incompl...

Re: What are the achievements of Logic?

I didn't see this post wtf, but again, I reiterate what I said about lamda calculus earlier. It did impact typed, but not untyped. Perhaps you can elaborate a bit so that I can understand what you're trying to say. Lambda calculus has the exact same power as Turing machines so I'm not sure what exa...

Re: What are the achievements of Logic?

Hopefully you can help me wtf as I find it very hard to believe that propositional logic can produce a true result that it can't prove? So is it that Gödel's result only applies to a specific kind of axiomatic system. Predicate logic , the logic of mathematics. This is the logic that includes the &...

You're confusing my words with Seagull's. Or somebody's. I did not say what you claim I said. It's not language I would have used.

Re: What are the achievements of Logic?

Rationalism can only take one or more concepts and generate another one. It cannot explain where original concepts come from. Yes, that is perfectly obvious today. But in the past, rationality in the form of math and logic were believed to be a way of knowing the truth. Your original thesis was tha...

Re: If there was no motion, would we still have time?

For now, no motion within the universe. Assume that. Consider the following mathematical function on the nonnegative reals, modeling time. From t = 0 to t < 1, there's lots of motion. From t = 1 to t < 2, there's no motion. From t = 2 onward, there's lots of motion. So if you measure at t = 1.5, th...

Re: What are the achievements of Logic?

It would seem to come down to what one wants from philosophy and perhaps what one expects from philosophy. And if there are expectations, what are those expectations and are they justified and if so how are they justified. I haven't studied much philosophy so I can't say. But going back to Descarte...

Re: When does the ball stop bouncing?

It's physical as I proposed it based on time, not length. So you hit the Planck time then. Same analysis with different numbers. The first bounce takes one second, one year, one trillion years, one age of the universe. After a finite number of bounces, a number easily calculated using high school m...
