I'm not sure what you are on about. I'll read up on the links you provided tomorrow. So bear with me. As I understand it, the whole point is that the laws of physics, or rather what gives rise to them, is equal to the structure we describe as and by the use of mathematics. Our interpretation of these patterns as physics, or living things, are just necessary abstractions drawn by our minds. The territory really is math, our map are the things.
Um, any thoughts on reading the past exchanges?
A monthly thread for posting rationality-related quotes you've seen recently (or had stored in your quotesfile for ages).
ETA: It would seem that rationality quotes are no longer desired. After several days this thread stands voted into the negatives. Wolud whoever chose to to downvote this below 0 would care to express their disapproval of the regular quotes tradition more explicitly? Or perhaps they may like to browse around for some alternative posts that they could downvote instead of this one? Or, since we're in the business of quotation, they could "come on if they think they're hard enough!"
