Some efforts, but nothing satisfying.=C2 One problem is a fundamental difference between math and science. =AO When a math problem is posed and solved, it's solved. There=E2 s a proof. There are no proofs in the empirical world. =Just better theories, that could be (and usually are) at least partially w=ong.

I understand, mathematics are the =nique formalism for proofs. . I watch the lack of direct=on and leadership. , as in cognitive theory, with lots of data =and no much beter understanding, I m trying to have you give a new generation directio=s . prize, test. proof. demonstration. etc. as the=evidence of real advance. how is it without your v=leria. must be much different

Mathematicians are lucky. Even =ore so than logicians, who worry about foundations.</=>

As for the sciences, the luckiest is =hysics. If a molecule is too big, or some other system too complex, they handed over to the chemists — who do the same with the biolog=sts — who proceed to the psychological sciences — and then=on to history and literature. And of course depth of explanation is =ecessarily sacrificed along the way as complexity mounts.

There are a few exceptions. Parts of linguistics, for example. =t would be good to widen that bridgehead, but not easy.</=>

Valeria hasn't been able to leave yet. Maybe in a couple of d=ys.

"easy" , is for others =C2 . - glad she hasn't left .1 think =f you two as pluto and its moon

Who's Pluto?=/u>

complicated linguistically. =C2 1 disney's 2. it seems pluto and its moon were=once one thing , but after an event its current moon was not thrown =ar enough away to cause it to circle it, so they are connected by both =AO gravity and history, ( appropriate) 3. according to the frame of reference= 4. from plutos point of view, it would be asking , who are you and what =s self, from the moons perspective . the object of a strong at=raction

Hmm. Will have to ponder this f=r deeper significance.

attractions like gravity are mutual

Who is the object of a strong attraction -- Noam or me?
