Actually Cooper shows that even our simple system is not classically logical... -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: everything-list@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För John M Skickat: den 5 juli 2006 17:30 Till: everything-list@googlegroups.com Ämne: Re: Only logic is necessary? Lennart: J.Cohen and I.Stewart in their chef d'oeuvre "Collapse of Chaos" play around with aliens who they call Zarathustrans, and who display a different 'alien' logic. It is quite refreshing. You say: Sound? brings up the tune of the Latin maxim: mens sana in corpore sano assigning the 'mental' to the body we deal with. I reformulated this latter as: the mind is limited by the 'material' tools we use. Other tools? - maybe other logic, other math. A uiniverse IMO is structured by the ingredients it started with in the unlimited variability of infinite BigBangs (my narrative) consequently the relations of those different ingredients (universe-system, call it universe consciousness etc.) may evolve different self reflective complex conglomerates (like here: it is us humans) with accordingly shaped mentality (logic, math, etc.) We are a quite sinple system (depicted in 3+1 D), so our logic is also pretty simple (one-way pragmatic). Other universes may be more sophisticated and I have pity for those poor fellow (simpleminded) humans who may 'teleport' or 'duplicate' into such - much more sophisticated worlds and may become there their stupid bums<G> with their memory-experience-logic luggage.
