–“The Intuitionist view (a philosophy of mathematics) restricts mathematics to only what can be described re computability – and is the common view of mathematicians now.”–

A common tendency in the field to confuse mathematical calculation (top-down, transformation of inputs into outputs) with computation (bottom up, construction of outputs from. limited inputs.) This was discussed during the intuitionist period in every single discipline. They intuited something had gone wrong but couldn’t quite understand it. Unfortunately, Turing came later instead of first.

As I’ve said for years the intellectual failure in the west that affected everything, including even philosophy, but led us to Einstein and Bohr’s re-platonization of mathematics is the discovery by Babbage but his failure to write a treatise. And we’re still suffering from the consequence.
