Bruno--you're doing great. I think it is the case where silence means "I understand, continue", rather than disinterest. > There is also some sort of burden onto me, because it is hard to > explain "the real thing" concerning the seventh step, without > explaining or just illustrating at least some relevant portion of the > mathematical reality: mainly the unexpected mathematical discovery of > the universal functions, sets, numbers, systems, language, machine ... > I don't mention the absence of drawing ability which does not help. The derivation of your thesis from first principles is a very compelling idea. The somewhat startling and unorthodox conclusions you espouse are bound to cause confusion unless all their underpinnings are well understood. The arguments from others then can have a much more specific target than the top-level conclusions; instead they will come out earlier in the derivation process and at the time of introduction of the controversial subject. > The knowledge of most people participating to the discussion is very > varied, due to the extreme transdiciplinarity of the subject, and the > interest it can evidently have for the layman (and indeed, for any > universal machine). While I do have training in math and physics, I still benefit from your targeting the motivated layman. Personally, I'm not interested in doing the exercises on the list, but they are still useful to check my understanding. > Best regards to all of you, and thanks for letting me know your > interests, By all means, proceed. Personally, if I don't understand something or have an objection, you'll hear about it on the list, but I think you should take silence as assent.
