Isn't geometry the basis of every science and perhaps even of everything?
I have just noticed that every single problem I've worked on in every subject was essentially a question of geometry. How are objects positioned in relation to each other and how does this relation change over time, the latter being the question of processes. It always comes down to this.
One could also argue that intelligence itself is the measure of a person's capability to see and work with these relations. If that fundamental truth is discovered, maybe one can increase one's intelligence?

Humans are primarily visual so it's not a coincidence that we think about problems spatially.
A civilization of intelligent dogs may develop their math based on an axiomatic system of scents

Fuck off, your meme is just gorilla pictures and has no actual relation to Science or Mathematics.
/sci/ is Wildmeme territory, get used to it.

>>8072891

its poorly organized hive satire. he's a strongly opinionated figure in finitism, and so an easy target.

anyone deep enough in the field on /sci/ can appreciate the dank memes while being intrigued by his opinions

anyone who just likes to shitpost & troll wasn't going to be able to appreciate his views anyway

in summary
learn to take a fucking joke you mouth breathing cretin

Your argument is illogical since is presumes the existence of R.

i guess i'm the mouthbreathing cretin after all

Is a set an element of its own subsets?
>>
>>1116355
Scientists use math which is expressed through the classical set theory that is ZFC.

Under scientific realism, the math done by the scientist is real, like electrons and photons are real (as some eigenvectors of their number operator).

This means that the axioms of ZFC are r.eal.
Now, one of the axioms is that there is a set (it is an axiom in the metalogic).

Now, where in the universe is this set? How do I observe it? measure it?

Actually computer science is the basis of everything, OP
>>
>>8073668

But CS is at a fundamental level geometry, isn't it?. Every computational process is based on the architecture of the machine that the operation is calculated on. And since every circuit can be built just by the use of NAND-gates (or was it XOR? I just remember that it can be done with one single type of gate), the outcome is essentially a question of the geometry of those gates, meaning how are they positioned in relation to each other.

dead reply. what was said I'm interested in this post.

>>8073731
The basis of that geometry though is computational

>it is an axiom in the metalogic
Not always. Some people just add [math]\exists x(x=x)[/math] to the ZFC axioms instead.

What did he mean by this?
