CONCEPT(NAME) = FUNCTION({OPERATIONS});
A change in the concept requires change in the operations.
—-“[any given] concept is synonymous with a corresponding set of operations. If the concept is physical, as of length, the operations are actual physical operations, namely, those by which length is measured; or if the concept is mental, as of mathematical continuity, the operations are mental operations, namely those by which we determine whether a given aggregate of magnitudes is continuous.”—
A concept describes a function whose contents are algorithmic: a series of operations – a series of actions.
That does not prohibit us from expressing fantasies as operations.
HOwever, it does require that we discriminate between fantasies, pretentions and demonstrable operations.
The square root of two is not a number – it cannot be. It is a function – it must be a function. As are all names of entities other than the natural numbers.
The same applies for “JUSTICE”.
