English is just the gel that the knowledge is embedded in. Sorting out that
format is bang for the buck. And it is just symbology as math is symbology,
or representation.

Mathematics effectively is just another gel that the knowledge is stored in.
It's a representation of (some other wierd physics stuff that I won't bring
up). I think I can say that, that math is just an instantiation of something
other. Unless the actual math symbology is the math and not what it
represents.

Either way, all will be represented in binary, for software or an
electronics based AGI. How can you get away from the coupling of math and
software? Unless there is some REAL special sauce like some analog based
hyperbrid.

Loosemore would say that the coupling breaks somehow at complexity regions.
And I think that the representation of reality has to include those.
