In the previous emails about information, certainty and mathematical proofs I
think we are all chasing some "thing" and not sure whether that "thing" exists
with part of us hoping it does and part of us hoping it doesn't. It kind of
reminds me of Paradise with an arrow described in LILA.
PLATT: Are you all certain that no one can ever be certain?
This inherent contradiction in your stance suggests to me that you have
swallowed, perhaps unwittingly, postmodernist theory where
knowledge is arbitrary, logic is tyrannical, and anything goes.
GRAHAM: The possible exception that I am thinking of are mathematical proofs.
My understanding is that a mathematical proof is only accepted if it is
irrefutable. Pythagoras's theorem will always be true - no
> matter what end of the universe you exist in.
RICK: You have become confused between "knowledge/belief" (which as we
discussed
are merely species of opinion) and "definitions/conventions". Instead see:
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, chap.22, p.236, the last
paragraph; it starts out.... "Poincare concluded the axioms of geometry were
CONVENTIONS...."
ERIN: Normally I think i would fall into Rick's area but recently am confused
after coming across a site on that Cybernetica website. Does anybody know
about this? I am trying to get my head wrapped around it. Any insights to this
universal law would be helpful
I will recomnd you to read Stankow's book:
Discovery of the Universal Law
•Georgi Dr. Stankow
85551 Kirchheim, Rentamtstrasse 10
In 1995 I discovered the Universal Law of nature by showing that all known
laws and their applications can be derived from this one law within
mathematical formalism. This led to a unified theory of physics and cosmology
which is an axiomatics of physics and mathematics. Thus, physics is applied
mathematics. All terms in physics can be derived from the primary term: energy
= space- time which is closed, infinite, discrete and constant. The set of all
numbers, the continuum, is equivalent to it. The new axiomatics can be
empirically verified. This eliminates Russell antinomy and the continuum
hypothesis, and proves the validity of mathematics as challenged by Goedel
theorem. The Law describes space-time in terms of mathematics. The Universal
Equation is: E=EAxf, where E is energy exchange, EA is a specific constant
amount of energy, called action potential, and f=E/EA is absolute time. It is
a law of energy. Energy/space-time is the only real thing. All physical
quantities such as mass, charge and force are abstract subsets of the primary
term defined within mathematics (objects of thought). They are U-subsets of
primary term and can be expressed by the Universal equation (Unification of
sciences).

and then let me know how that book changed your memes?
have a nice day :)
