Yet isn't it a fairly incomplete translation? You may add 2 apples to 3 apples and end up with 5 apples but does the equation 2+3=5 really do jusice to the apples? To fully understand the apple you would have to have equations for color, weight, taste, origin, reproductive capacity, sugar content, water, effectiveness of the cuticle in replusing enviromental attacks, and hundreds or thousands of other things to describe a single apple. Then you have to combind 5 such masses of math. But perhaps I am looking to much at the Whole.<BR/><BR/>I sense that this is related to the idea in Persig's book on Motorcycle Maintanence. The conflict between emotion and reason ie art and science/math. I decided a long time ago that I needed to find a balance between the two sides. And the more I try to seek it the more I am convinced that the key to blending them lies at the third point of the triangle. The heart and the mind must meet with the deeper substance that ties them together, the spirit. <BR/><BR/>You combined religion with art. I think Religion, or true religion anyway, is really the harmony between art an science. Certainly in practice religion is most often a emotional or artistic pursuit, although there are plenty of religions out there that run under the science half. But God isn't more in one half then the other because that would make him unjust. Therefore He must be a Wholesome combination of the two.<BR/><BR/>God does seem to have a particular gift for fixing the holes in order to run the whole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25559166.post-1168394856815970312007-01-09T19:07:00.000-07:002007-01-09T19:07:00.000-07:00Thanks for the compliment, if this page were a gun...Thanks for the compliment, if this page were a gun, would this be my hole-ster?Boomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852111036261040048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25559166.post-1168394675071366932007-01-09T19:04:00.000-07:002007-01-09T19:04:00.000-07:00No logic is the filling of holes, for as you say l...No logic is the filling of holes, for as you say logic and math are intertwined. And my holes offer no value judgements it is the same as the holes between the threads in fabric use of the threads of logic will fill the holes but when it does smaller different ones will remain.<BR/><BR/>Math is the searching for the round peg to fill the round hole with and rejecting the square peg for some other hole. Math and logic are the devices we use to fill the holes.<BR/><BR/>Do not forget also that an artistic logic is not because I can count on my fingers better than you but perhaps that I am looking at a problems tiny speciefics whereas a logician or artist might be see the whole picture. Answers that look widely different, but are actually very much the same albeit a matter of perspective one the perspective of the artist the other from the point of the mathematician.Boomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852111036261040048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25559166.post-1168394127564037542007-01-09T18:55:00.000-07:002007-01-09T18:55:00.000-07:00Boom-- awesome post, and if it wasn't your normal ...Boom-- awesome post, and if it wasn't your normal puns, then it left room for them in your comments section-- which you've definitely been taking advantage of.<BR/><BR/>I'm interested (and mildly wounded) that you would think logic leaves holes that only math can fill. To me logic is nothing more or less than the conceptual math of metaphysics translated into words. In fact, if you saw my notebook, you would laugh at how much my logic looks like algebraic equations. I kid you not. <BR/><BR/>Sooooo-- if logic and math are the same understanding and thought process, then perhaps using math to solve logic problems is you being better at counting on your fingers than I am. :)<BR/><BR/>PS.
