Not in math.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoYes in math. Formalisms come after casual thoughts, at every step.
- sinuhe69 2y agoWhat is a casual thought that you cannot explain in math?
- TeMPOraL 2y agoThat question makes no sense. You can explain anything in math, because math is a language and lets you define whatever terms and axioms you need at a given moment. (Whether or not such explanation is useful for anything is another issue entirely.)
- worldsayshi 2y agoCan you explain how intuition led you to try a certain approach?
- TeMPOraL 2y agoIs it enough if I hand-wave it with probability distributions, or do you want me to write out adjacency search in a high-dimensional space?
- mdp2021 2y agoIt's totally different: those formalisms are in a workbench, following a set of rules that either work or not. So, yes, that (math) is representative of the actual process: pattern recognition gives you spontaneous ideas, that you assess for truthfulness in conscious acts of verification.

- HeavyStorm 2y agoThat's some misunderstanding of the human brain and thought process...
