Joscha: Still thinking about this.
(a) Yes it’s more intuitive to think in spatial terms, and (b) yes it’s more burdensome to think in verbal(algebraic) terms
(c) But optimally, once a model is sufficiently complex, we would like to visualize in spatial terms and describe in algebraic terms.
(d) Most of what’s wrong in physics we can blame on confusing einstein and bohr. Einstein worked from mental imagery the expressed in mathematical terms – even if he had to invent a nonsense-concept like space-time as a variable. Bohr on the other hand, just gave up on models altogether. So we have two founders of present physics who, making two different errors precisely because they pursued the verbal rather than spatial in some aspect of their work, created generations of chaos among well meaning fools who did not grasp the foundations of mathematics or understand itt derived from computation.
