  1. 😆 Wow, another programmer bravely dives into Gödel's #incompleteness theorems with the finesse of a cat herding seminar! 🚀 This article promises a whimsical romp through math's greatest hits, interpreted with all the precision of a banana-shaped ruler. 📏👉🤓

  6. Holistically, there should be as many rigorous ways to validate a proposition as there were in generating the valid proposition. Only in the abstract, maximally constrained world of mathematics could we narrow them both down to a 'proof,' but they'd still be constrained by #incompleteness theorems.

  7. Godel's #incompleteness theorem applies to any *single* #system. A formalism may not be able to describe itself completely, but an #ensemble can, transcending limits. Think of a Venn diagram: a system can't see outside its circle, but the complete answer is the #union.

  8. Really, I'm critiquing the idea that math is a stand alone logic, free from the ambiguities of language. Could you teach 1 + 1 = 2 in that abstracted form without starting from a physical example, like put your apple & my apple in a basket and we have 2 apples? #incompleteness

  9. When we have fundamental logic such as Gödel's #incompleteness theorems, we need to seriously incorporate it into other fields of study. If the universe operates by a set of #physics laws, we'll find this logic everywhere. #Evolution cannot predict its success. plato.stanford.edu/entries/goed...

  10. will find out at some point if selks10 is the sec onion killer or not - it has most of the same tools, uses less ram, it is not fips compliant but you can add what you need from debian fairly easily #delayed judgement #purgatory #incompleteness

  11. @sascha_wolfer

    I'd say that most things that survive (locally) for long periods of time make the same #evolutionary adjustment.

    High efficiency is not #sustainable, unless periodic catastrophic crashes (in number) are tolerable.

    OTOH, most systems do not come to this accord on their own, the environment in which it lives constrains optimal #efficiency attainable.

  12. Do people in Data Science tend to understand what the halting problem is actually about?

    Do people tend to understand what Gödel Incompleteness is actually about?

    Do people tend to understand that Wittgenstein's early efforts into a formal system of language (Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus) was an utter failure, to the extent that Wittgenstein became sure (because of how badly it failed) that language isn't a formal system at all, just some sort of arcane racket ball...?

  13. Related to the #incompleteness paper, here is a copy of Gödel‘s original article [German] from 1931

    ÜBER FORMAL UNENTSCHEIDBARE SÄTZE DER “PRINCIPIA MATHEMATICA”
    UND VERWANDTER SYSTEME I

  14. Just found a note on my phone from a few months ago that I have no recollection writing: “remember that the man who invented teleportation was almost universally hated because his invention drove everyone mad & the restlessness killed everything we ever loved” - seems legit #teleportation #madness #hysteria #psychology #sociology #science #nonsense #delirium #fugue #incompleteness
