I am honoured to have nerd-sniped you, jcranmer. I won't respond at length as I have in some of the child threads here.
As far as I can tell in my other expositions, apparently I object to the very fact that mathematicians like to fix things and make inferences about them! I think some things, such as computation, humans, animals, etc, should be allowed to be sensitive to time and prior inputs.. and the very act of fixing now and inferencing later seems to infringe upon that right. That may be the lowest barrier of all of mathematics!
Cheers my friend, thank you for engaging.
- cryvate1284 5y ago"apparently I object to the very fact that mathematicians like to fix things and make inferences about them": that's not really what's going on: time can be present in mathematics (e.g. defining a sequence iteratively) and the like. What you do have to fix is the definition of things: your reasoning is very shaky, and once you would start formalizing things you will find you cannot "defeat" the Halting problem or incompleteness theorem.
