You can't have it both ways. If
George, you can do that indeed, but then you are particularizing
things. This can be helpful from a pedagogical point of view, but the
advantage of the axiomatic approach (to a knowledge theory) is that
once you agree on the axioms and rules, then you agree on the
consequences independently

Yes I am particularizing things... But the end justifies the means. I
am being positivist, trying to express these rules as a function of an
observer. In any case, once the specific example is worked out, we can
fall back on the general case.

I go with Bruno in a lack of clear understanding what physical world

When I talk about pure mathematics I mean that kind of mathematics you have
in GameOfLife. There you have gliders that move in the GameOfLife-universe,
and these gliders interact with eachother when they meet. These gliders you
can see as physical objects. These physical objects are

Besides which, mathematics and physics are dealing with quite

identity one with the other.
I don't see why.
Physics deals with symmetries, forces and fields.
