Essay Abstract

The apparent tension between mindless mathematical law and aims and intentions is based on an unconscious assumption of the algorithmicity of mathematical laws. This paper is a brief exploration of the possibility that mathematical laws of science, in general, and cerebration in particular, need not be algorithmic. There is no attempt to prove the possibility. It is just a speculative description of what I take to be the landscape involved.

Dear John S Schultz,

Please excuse me for I have no intention of disparaging in any way any part of your essay.

I merely wish to point out that "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Physicist & Nobel Laureate.

Only nature could produce a reality so simple, a single cell amoeba could deal with it.

The real Universe must consist only of one unified visible infinite physical surface occurring in one infinite dimension, that am always illuminated by infinite non-surface light.

A more detailed explanation of natural reality can be found in my essay, SCORE ONE FOR SIMPLICITY. I do hope that you will read my essay and perhaps comment on its merit.

Joe Fisher, Realist

Nice essay Schultz,

Your ideas and thinking are excellent like....

IF there ARE types of non-algorithmic mathematical patterns that are not PAPR, and

IF they are not approximatable by algorithmic patterns, and

IF Mother Nature has chosen such a pattern for human cerebration,

A Good proposal, I fully agree with you............

..................... On the last point I want you to ask you to please have a look at my essay, where mother nature has chosen a pattern ..............."reproduction of Galaxies in the Universe ". Dynamic Universe Model is another mathematical model for Universe. Its mathematics show that the movement of masses will be having a purpose or goal, Different Galaxies will be born and die (quench) etc...just have a look at my essay... "Distances, Locations, Ages and Reproduction of Galaxies in our Dynamic Universe" where UGF (Universal Gravitational force) acting on each and every mass, will create a direction and purpose of movement.....

I think intension is inherited from Universe itself to all Biological systems

For your information Dynamic Universe model is totally based on experimental results. Here in Dynamic Universe Model Space is Space and time is time in cosmology level or in any level. In the classical general relativity, space and time are convertible in to each other.

Many papers and books on Dynamic Universe Model were published by the author on unsolved problems of present day Physics, for example 'Absolute Rest frame of reference is not necessary' (1994) , 'Multiple bending of light ray can create many images for one Galaxy: in our dynamic universe', About "SITA" simulations, 'Missing mass in Galaxy is NOT required', "New mathematics tensors without Differential and Integral equations", "Information, Reality and Relics of Cosmic Microwave Background", "Dynamic Universe Model explains the Discrepancies of Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry Observations.", in 2015 'Explaining Formation of Astronomical Jets Using Dynamic Universe Model, 'Explaining Pioneer anomaly', 'Explaining Near luminal velocities in Astronomical jets', 'Observation of super luminal neutrinos', 'Process of quenching in Galaxies due to formation of hole at the center of Galaxy, as its central densemass dries up', "Dynamic Universe Model Predicts the Trajectory of New Horizons Satellite Going to Pluto" etc., are some more papers from the Dynamic Universe model. Four Books also were published. Book1 shows Dynamic Universe Model is singularity free and body to collision free, Book 2, and Book 3 are explanation of equations of Dynamic Universe model. Book 4 deals about prediction and finding of Blue shifted Galaxies in the universe.

With axioms like... No Isotropy; No Homogeneity; No Space-time continuum; Non-uniform density of matter(Universe is lumpy); No singularities; No collisions between bodies; No Blackholes; No warm holes; No Bigbang; No repulsion between distant Galaxies; Non-empty Universe; No imaginary or negative time axis; No imaginary X, Y, Z axes; No differential and Integral Equations mathematically; No General Relativity and Model does not reduce to General Relativity on any condition; No Creation of matter like Bigbang or steady-state models; No many mini Bigbangs; No Missing Mass; No Dark matter; No Dark energy; No Bigbang generated CMB detected; No Multi-verses etc.

Many predictions of Dynamic Universe Model came true, like Blue shifted Galaxies and no dark matter. Dynamic Universe Model gave many results otherwise difficult to explain

Have a look at my essay on Dynamic Universe Model and its blog also where all my books and papers are available for free downloading...

John,

That's quite brilliant! Original, interesting, very pertinent, and despite it's brevity NOT deserving of a lowly spot! I love rooting out and challenging hidden assumptions, think it's very important to do so, and I think you do that very well here. I challenged assumptions about mathematics, logic and nature last year (and use that as part of my ontology this year) and I particularly like and agree your;

"Science is way of studying THE PATTERNS OF NATURE, ...and

Mathematics is a way of studying THE NATURE OF PATTERN"

But one question; Does a 'mathematical law' not require to be 'known' to qualify as a law? So is there anything non algorithmic which qualifies as a law? I accept that may be purely semantic as we need to extend the understanding of Law as you infer, incuding in;"whatever law governs cerebration".

My own essay identifies a mechanism without offering an algorithm. I hope you may get to read it and discuss.

Very best

Peter

    Thanks for your comments. You are right that I was a bit careless with terminology. Mea culpa. Fortunately, I think, it is only terminological. The point really has to do with patterns, and not with whether any of us hairless apes on 21st century Earth have noticed the patterns.

    It's a very busy few months at work (which is why my essay is so short,) so I have not yet managed to read any other essays. Mea culpa once more. Hopefully I'll have time next week or the week after. JS

    Dear Sirs!

    Physics of Descartes, which existed prior to the physics of Newton returned as the New Cartesian Physic and promises to be a theory of everything. To tell you this good news I use «spam».

    New Cartesian Physic based on the identity of space and matter. It showed that the formula of mass-energy equivalence comes from the pressure of the Universe, the flow of force which on the corpuscle is equal to the product of Planck's constant to the speed of light.

    New Cartesian Physic has great potential for understanding the world. To show it, I ventured to give "materialistic explanations of the paranormal and supernatural" is the title of my essay.

    Visit my essay, you will find there the New Cartesian Physic and make a short entry: "I believe that space is a matter" I will answer you in return. Can put me 1.

    Sincerely,

    Dizhechko Boris
