They are sensorimotive phenomenology. Gestural essences experienced by a human psyche, communicated through laryngeal grunts or scratches in the sand, tracings of ink or graphite on bleached wood pulp, indexed binary registers embossed onto doped silicon, but ultimately decoded as circuits of sense: expectations strung out into elegant webs of refractory logics of satisfaction. They are hallucinations we can share with each other, and with inanimate objects selected for their precision of compliance. That is what numbers are. Sensemaking grooves which we share with other worlds. Craig -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
