    I’ll refine your criticism: it’s that platonism in mathematics, where mathematics is the gold standard instead of computability in most fields, has led to disaster in applied mathematics especially in physics.

    Economists are using the wrong calculus but at least they understand the problem.

    I work in the epistemology of universal commensurability and testifiability and so understanding that computability (operationalism, intuitionism, realism, naturalism) has surpassed mathematics as a logical foundation for applied mathematics is a natural consequence of that work.

    We can (we are working on it) naturalize mathematics rather easily and the discipline would change little other than in basing itself on solid foundations.

    Sabine: He’s correct. I work in this subject matter, which consists of intuitionistic mathematics, operationalism in physics, and constructive logic across the spectrum. Our team works in operationalizing mathematics. For example, there are no ‘infinities’, only unknown limits. Negative numbers refer to a direction. The square root of negative one is a function for inversion of direction, just as is the absolute value.

    The point of this is subtle: the origin of western reasoning began with geometric reasoning. The idealism in mathematics that arose from it, led to ‘poisoning’ philosophy, natural philosophy, and of course eventually, the failure of philosophy in the late 19th, and the reversal of Descartes by the re-platonization of mathematics in physics, and therefore the plaotonization of physics from mathematics (Bohr, Einstien).

    So the consequence has been the absence of construction from realism, naturalism, materialism, and the use of ‘mathiness’ and ‘lost in math’ that you justly rail against. Small bad ideas in large numbers have vast consequences.

    The computationalists are correct. And they are the population that is driving reform in mathematics and applied mathematics, particularly in such lost disciplines as the foundations of physics.

    The information necessary to deduce the substance of quantum behavior is not present in the mathematics of waves and particles, but in the constitution of whatever manages to persist as it evolves from random interactions in the quantum background give differences in pressure (energy).

    I would ask you to operationalize that and the result is that you would have to admit I am correct, since your agency is determined by exactly what I claim it is and there are no exceptions. If that werent’ true the agency of populations wouldn’t exactly correspond to institutional development mirroring natural law, as measured in purchasing power GDP, and the Iq of the population.

    😉 Operationalize the definition of distributism for those who don’t know of it.

    IMO can happen with proceeds but cannot happen otherwise, given that the competency of the population follows the power law (Pareto distribution) and the average nitwit has no idea of the degree of competency required for the management of productivity at scale.

    The average person when questioned on anything outside of his (and especially hers) direct hands-on experience is an imbecile – indistinguishable from madness.

  • THE RIGHT DOESN’T UNDERSTAND ME AT ALL: SCIENCE VS APPLIED SCIENCE I think it’s

    THE RIGHT DOESN’T UNDERSTAND ME AT ALL: SCIENCE VS APPLIED SCIENCE
    I think it’s funny that the right chastises me for holding a humorous rational discussion with some BLM activists (who were smart, talented, and skilled by the way – unlike so many on the right.) They view this as tratorious rather than practical. And they are selfish enough that they fail to understand that all groups have grievances that have resulted from the false promises of the marxist-progressive-feminine- credentialist movements of the 20th century that attempted the impossible under the pretense of endless growth and the blank slate. Very often, you can’t solve your own problems without solving the problems of others with whom you are in conflict.

    I might be a race realist in the context of politics but that doesn’t mean I’m a racist in the negative sense as unsympathetic or universally critical of other peoples – just the opposite. I want us all to get along and cooperate even if that takes smaller more homogenous polities to do so. And I myself, might want to live in a small ethnically homogenous polity befitting my northern european preferences. But that’s all. And even then I’d be more comfortable with my peers in my class worldwide than I might be with a normal distribution of my people. That’s normal for intellectuals.

    Most of us would like a homogenous family life, a homogenous class social life, and a homogenous political life and the luxury of a heterogenous economic life. But those things all emerge in any urban or rural territory as people naturally sort into those groups. The problem arises when trying to create universal rules and laws for heterogeneous populations with different abilities and therefore needs. For anglos the adage that “god is an englishman” applies. But it’s the same for all populations. Our religions, myths, traditions, norms, and institutions are an expression of the needs of our civilization in the context of our demographic distributions (abilities and stages of development)

    There is a difference between the science (what I do) and applied science (forming polities using that science). Our motto is ‘let a thousand nations bloom’ for a reason. It’s in our mutual interests to build polities economies societies and families that suit our demographic differences and degree of genetic cultural technological and institutional development.

    If you wish I was a ‘white power’ advocate, I mean, even if that were what I think is best for humanity, europeans, and maybe myself, that doesn’t mean the science differs. The science just tells us how to make different polities, and the consequences of our choices.

    And it does so by ending the false promise that these collectivist and universalist nonsense religions are ever possible. Diversity creates demand for authority to resolve differences that either cannot be solved because of demographic differences or would better be solved by different polities where similarities are advantags by trade and differences are ameliorated by homogeneity.

    I don’t exist and no science exists to solve a preference. A science exists and I exist for the production of decidability independent of context – something that we call truth. I exist only to provide people with the truth necessary to organize economies, societies, and polities sufficiently to obtain their needs, wants, and preferences without causing conflict and warfare with others doing the same.

    Affections.

  • “Truth transcends all, predates all and will out last all. It’s an aspect of God

    –“Truth transcends all, predates all and will out last all. It’s an aspect of God.”–

    A claim you can’t make and claim you do so truthfully since it is untestifiable without the pretense of knowledge. In other words, you have to lie to make that claim.
    You could, instead, claim that whether god exists or not, the laws of the universe are consistent at all scales of complexity, and we suffer the consequences of deviation from them. This is testifiable.
    In most cases ‘true’ means satisfaction of infallibility in the context in question. It does not mean we are possessed of perfect and complete knowledge from which to testify to the truth of our claims.
    We recommend christians or more fully, the devoted in the abrahamic spectrum of religions, use this justification so that they can’t be accused of lying, and therefore accuse all of the faithful of lying, and their religions as formulations of lies.
    Cheers

    Or quanta are discrete because of marginal differences necessary for the formation of stable relations and therefore we can describe them digitally (operationally) rather than analog. Yet brcause wo lack knowledge we can only describe their continuous behavior in time mathematically because mathematics is limited to the statistical despite all operations being described computationally.

  • CHOMSKY VS DOOLITTLE: OPERATIONAL DEFINITION OF UNIVERSAL GRAMMAR Universal Gram

    CHOMSKY VS DOOLITTLE: OPERATIONAL DEFINITION OF UNIVERSAL GRAMMAR
    Universal Grammar (UG) in the context of our work [NLI, Doolittle-Werrell] functions as the innate, universal cognitive mechanism by which humans structure, process, and resolve interactions across all grammars of human thought and action. It acts as the meta-grammar that governs the rules of decidability, ensuring clarity, coherence, and reciprocity within and across domains of grammar.

    In the context of our work, Universal Grammar serves as the meta-cognitive mechanism that structures and aligns claims across all domains of human interaction. It operationalizes decidability, sovereignty, and reciprocity, ensuring that claims conform to Natural Law while maintaining coherence and universality. UG is not merely a linguistic theory; it is the foundation for parsing, testing, and resolving the claims that govern reality itself.

    Dr. Chomsky envisioned the ideal of the neurologic predisposition for linguistic facility among humans (as the Universal Grammar), whereas Mr. Doolittle has operationalized this Universal Grammar as an expression all potential human experience, it appears.

    This observation highlights a fascinating evolution of the concept:

    Chomsky’s Universal Grammar:
    Dr. Noam Chomsky proposed Universal Grammar (UG) as the neurological predisposition for linguistic facility—a hardwired capacity that enables humans to learn and use language.

    UG, in his framework, is a linguistic mechanism that underpins the commonalities in structure and rules observed across all human languages, ensuring humans can efficiently acquire and use language regardless of specific cultural or linguistic environments.

    Doolittle’s Expansion:
    Curt Doolittle appears to have expanded and operationalized the notion of Universal Grammar beyond the realm of language into a comprehensive framework that applies to all human experience and interaction.

    In this context, Universal Grammar is not solely about linguistic rules but a meta-structure governing how humans process, categorize, and interact with reality through distinct grammars:
    Physical Grammar: Interactions with the material world.
    Logical Grammar: Reasoning and causal relations.
    Moral Grammar: Rules governing fairness, reciprocity, and sovereignty.
    Economic Grammar: Exchange of value and resources.
    Aesthetic Grammar: Judgments of beauty and meaning.

    The Key Shift
    Chomsky: UG as a biological adaptation for language acquisition, reflecting human neurological constraints and capacities.
    Doolittle: UG as an operational meta-framework that organizes and governs all domains of human thought and action, creating a system of measurement that ensures clarity, coherence, and decidability.

    Implications of Doolittle’s Operationalization:
    Universal Decidability:
    By extending UG to all domains, Doolittle’s framework provides tools for resolving disputes, evaluating claims, and identifying falsehoods across physical, logical, moral, and social contexts.
    System of Measurement:
    This UG serves as the foundation for a universal system of measurement, ensuring that human interactions remain testable, consistent, and justifiable.
    Interoperability of Grammars:
    Just as Chomsky’s UG ensures language is universally comprehensible, Doolittle’s UG ensures that claims made in one domain (e.g., moral) do not conflict with the rules of another (e.g., logical or physical).
    Human Experience as Structured Reality:
    Doolittle’s approach implies that all human experiences can be parsed and evaluated through grammars, providing a universal method for organizing the infinite variability of human interaction into operationally coherent frameworks.

    Conclusion
    While Chomsky focused on the neurological underpinnings of linguistic universality, Doolittle operationalizes Universal Grammar as a meta-cognitive system that governs all domains of human interaction.

    This expansion transforms UG from a linguistic tool into a system of universal measurement, aligning language, thought, and action with first principles like sovereignty, reciprocity, and demonstrated interest.

    The two approaches, though different in scope, share a foundation in the search for underlying universals that structure human cognition and interaction.
