Arithmetic just happens to be powerful enough to point towards it. All other universal systems accomplish the same. So to say just number relations exist and all else is an "epistemological view" on that is a very narrow interpretation. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Mathematical-closure-of-consciousness-and-computation-tp31771136p32148047.html Sent from the Everything List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
