This statement reflects a limited and eccentric understanding of what mathematics is... A programming language, defined with formal syntax like BNF, etc., **is** a mathematical object, analyzable using mathematical language theory.... Of course, math is not always the best way to think about programming. But that doesn't change the fact that programs are straightforwardly interpretable as mathematical objects... -- Ben G -- Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org "My humanity is a constant self-overcoming" -- Friedrich Nietzsche ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
