That's like asking "where in nature does one observe numbers"?
Literally everywhere.
Your jug partitions water into the set inside the jug and the set outside it.
Caves are a subset of rock formations.
- smokel 3y agoAll that partitioning and counting can only be performed by a system that is able to abstract and differentiate between different abstractions. Brains and computers appear to be good at this, but other than that, I don't see many other structures that are capable of doing this. So, no, I don't observe numbers in the universe, if I take on the perspective of, say, a rock.
- paulddraper 3y agoUm what? Are you saying you want something that can be logically reasoned by a rock?
- smokel 3y agoIt's obviously not logical, and possibly not even reasonable, but it seems like a viable way to get out of the frame of reference from a human being. I'm fine if this way of thinking is discarded as nonsense. I'd be happy to find more constructive ways to continue with this.
