"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain,
as far
as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."

Albert Einstein


Math is just an attempt to simplify the complicated real world.
The greater the simplification, the more accurate the math.
Only reaching complete accuracy when finding the simplest
possible, which is farthest from reality possible.

Implying of course that all questions of meaning are found
farthest from accuracy, farthest from objective scientific
methods as possible. At the most subjective and abstract.

There is no such thing as an objective reality. As our perception
of reality is often the most powerful variable of all deciding the
the future of our surroundings.

Since objective methods take us farthest from truth and
understanding, we must simply inverse the method.
Instead of a part detail driven method of deriving fundamental
laws, we use the output of the whole. We let the global
system behavior serve as our primary source of knowledge.

And to be rigorous we must also begin with the most complex
systems the universe has to offer, not the simplest parts.
And we measure a systems behavior against it's possible behavior.
So in essence all things are compared to themselves, not other
things or independent yardstick.
..
This boils down to abstractly modeling the most complex systems
known, which are living systems. Called a complex adaptive
system, this new mathematics of complexity science is essentially
the abstract form of Darwinian evolution. In abstract form this
math applies as well to living systems, as it does to the less complex
ones such as physical systems.

By rigorously inversing our method of understanding, we discover
that living systems best display the fundamental (system) properties
of the universe. Our fundamental laws are to be derived from
the most complex the universe has to offer, life.
Not the other way around, which is looking to the physical
universe first to understand higher order.

A single mathematical language for all the real world
complex dynamic systems that exist, physical or
living.

From: Monsieur Turtoni on
In my opinion. there are are no "objects" since they're continually
changing and therefore unable to be objectified as a thing apart for
the employment of subjective rulings in order to carry out the stories
that interact with the state at those points in time after they
happen. The fourth dimnetation of time is interesting facet in the
order of things.

Response.1:
Most of this, and especially that last sentence is a stipulation. How
can you convince us that it is true by showing us a physical 'work' of
the 'behavior of properties' in relation to a differentiation from an
object's 'certain way' of behavior?

Quote.2...
"Thus, it follows that all physical objects are identical. For the
mathematician or logician, it also follows that a function only
establishes a relationship between variables when the variables are of a
particular type. For example, the volume of a sphere is a function of
(or is related to) the radius of a sphere only if the sphere is not
physical."
...End Quote.

Response.2:
It still remains a problem for me that stipulation is not an axiom. The
volume of a sphere agrument is axiomatic. Your stipulation in Q.1 is
not. Therefore, it must be applied to field physics. It requires showing
us 'work' asked for in R.1. Not convinced.

PS. I was writing this in the airport pay station, and the moey ran
out :-)..

There is believing and knowing. As the reliance of beliefs subside,
the knowing emerges, otherwise there is deep disturbance within (which
is why there are increases in psychological 'instabilities' in modern
society.

The emerging 'knowingness' regarding freedom within the individual, is
confronted by the past images of belief based actions and attitudes.

Good for big pharma of course !!!

Why say it does? The tree and ground move and the apple stays still,
is just as valid.
