A computer works with symbols.
A brush works with marks.
The latter is a larger infinity.
It's like the difference between digital and analog. Or raster and vector. Or map and territory.
- anaerobicover 6y agoSurely maps are a larger infinity than territories? I can easily draw maps of territories that do not, have not, and even cannot exist. Likewise symbols and brushmarks. I can describe brushmarks that could never be physically realized.
- swayvil 6y agoBut those map-artifacts are not real things. They are just symbols.
