I was thinking of "error" in the scientific or mathematical sense of variation, more than in the sense of wrong judgment. Perhaps I should call it "differentiation": how did hydrogen become helium? How did one become two? Of the infinity of numbers, there is only one "1," one undifferentiated unity. There is no diversification in one, no differentiation. But when there are two, there can be differences. As I ponder this idea, I wonder if there was an original "need" for diversification. The Big Bang produced many entities. How was it that they were different rather than all being identical, all being the same kind, all charmed quarks or Higgs bosons or other identical elemental particles? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Brady
