Hi Craig Weinberg I agree. But I never say never.
Roger Clough, [email protected] 9/14/2012 Leibniz would say, "If there's no God, we'd have to invent him so that everything could function." ----- Receiving the following content ----- From: Craig Weinberg Receiver: everything-list Time: 2012-09-13, 12:11:51 Subject: Re: imaginary numbers in comp This is why I reject comp, because it cannot access feelings or qualities, whereas feelings can and do access arithmetic (even directly as rhythm, music, some forms of visual art, etc). Because we know about feelings, we can project that knowledge on top of arithmetic ideas and conceive of 'numbers which are fundamentally unlike numbers' which metaphorically can remind of us the contrast between logic and feeling. There are some interesting ways to use that and explore concepts like imaginary numbers with that in mind which I do think can yield worthwhile results when we unpack them and reapply them as metaphors for subjectivity. The problem is that arithmetic is the opposite of feeling. Machines are the opposite of living beings. Subjective numbers then are like a "Moon that treats the Sun like a Moon'.

Isn't there an intuitive mathematics ?
