Thanks Nathan,
Never read this, but it sounds really interesting. Thought about writing
science fiction myself one day. Seems like a good way to communicate
concepts to the general population.
Kind Regards,

Bruce,
Thank you for clarifying further. If you ever have the opportunity, I
think you'd be deeply interested particularly in the second chapter,
"Truth Mining," in the science-fiction novel /Diaspora/ by Greg Egan.
Since your ideas seem similarly attracted, perhaps you've already read
it. Indeed, it's highly sympathetic to our concern with knowledge
dynamics.
An excerpt:
"If ve ever wanted to be a miner in vis own rightâmaking and testing
vis own conjectures at the coal face, like Gauss and Euler, Riemann
and Levi-Civita, deRham and Cartan, Radiya and Blancaâthen Yatima knew
there were no shortcuts, no alternatives to exploring the Mines
firsthand. Ve couldn't hope to strike out in a fresh direction, a
route no one had ever chosen before, without a new take on the old
results. Only once ve'd constructed vis own map of the
Minesâidiosyncratically crumpled and stained, adorned and annotated
like no one else'sâcould ve begin to guess where the next rich vein of
undiscovered truths lay buried."
