Mathematics…is man’s way of cutting up and compartmentalizing the world he is able to experience into digestible units and then describing relationships that seem to have some meaningful use. The result of this activity can produce useful understanding and some ability to control / manipulate our environment.

Recognize that logic has its limits. We can say if A = B and if B = C, then A = C and we can feel good about this, but on closer inspection no philosopher or physicist has been able to prove the a-priori in this argument (a priori: Latin phrase for designated in advanced; the usual statistical hypotheses are regarded as having been specified without reference to the data…). Someone must make the initial postulate to jump start any logical thread. The “if” is the problem. Our assumptions are the heartbeat of any argument or conclusion. With Quantum, we now assume that the world is fundamentally digital (discrete) not analogue (continuous) while everything is interrelated. Once our assumptions take hold, we become slaves to our assumptions and can no longer see clearly. Truth is a variable and evolves as well. You can teach a robot to go look into a mirror and write a thesis about what he saw in the mirror but who would say he possesses anything resembling man’s sense of self awareness? Schrödinger is one of my heroes but there is much more to this world than Schrödinger could ever imagine. Many men are deceived because they can hand out many names to many things and derive relationships of these named things believing as a result they have achieved some sort of ontological understanding of that thing.
