Are you saying that mathematics will never be able to describe certain systems, or simply that mathematics is not yet complete?

- api 12y agoThe latter. Also there is no "complete." See Godel's incompleteness theorem and the Church-Turing theorem. I'm also explicitly an anti-platonist, or rather more precisely a "post-Platonist." The problem with Platonic idealism is that we have found, within the realm of Platonic forms, theorems that invalidate the central thesis of Platonic idealism.
