Reality is mathematics / Mathematics is reality ?

And therefore the "territory" doesn't exist?
You keep asking me questions about your ideas.
So far, I have yet to see what you're talking about. You haven't shown any values in nature.


its really not complicated
Of course it isn't. I have a brain in which I can generate numbers and values.

What's complicated - in fact, so far impossible - is to show one of them in nature.


It's time to move on. I've asked - what? - seven times? And seven times you have not been able to show one. This concept is dead.
 
How does the universe calculate the Fibonacci Sequence?
It doesn't. The pattern evolved by natural selection of spirals as mathematical patterns formed by dynamic gravitational forces, as well an efficient energy collector/distributor, with maximum packing ability.
We can say that biology "settled" on this natural efficient pattern as the growth mechanism with most persistent survival rate. But the spiral pattern which creates the mathematical sequence can already be found in spiral galaxies as well in great abundance in organisms that employ photosynthesis and require efficient energy distribution throughout the organism.

The sequence belongs in the category of logical mathematical exponential functions.

How does the universe calculate pi?
It doesn't, of course.

[ EDIT ] Write4U has beaten me to it. Good description

- except for the very last line, where he directly contradicts the very first line. (If the universe doesn't calculate pi, then the universe doesn't have a "function" to calculate it with.)

Shown me the value of a dollar bill. What are you talking about ? Values are both visible and invisible attributes of a thing.
The single term defining the nature of invisible values is the term "potential" (that (value) which may become reality)
Of course it isn't. I have a brain in which I can generate numbers and values.
And the universe has no brain and generated you by what process? Can you show me an example of the process that generated your existence? Chaos?

p.s. Values are the inherent qualities (excellence) of a thing. OTOH, Numbers are not generated, they are arbitrarily chosen symbols to represent a natural relative quantity of a thing.

Things do have values relative to each other, no? And I believe we can show that....:rolleyes: Science.

And if you disagree with that you have just voiced your complete disagreement with QM and GR in the past few pages.

It doesn't calculate, it just functions the way it must, as per natural deterministic imperatives, which happen to be mathematical in essence.
The emergent functional chronology was symbolized and codified by Fibonacci. He did not invent the function, he identified it in nature and showed us how it works logically.
 
Can either show a photo of TIME or a photo of a machine which detects TIME?

If I am not mistaken both claim it's existence

Thanks in advance

:)
I don't. My perpective is that time emerges along with change. One is dependent on the other, as per the Logical law of "Necessity and Sufficiency".

Need more time?....here it is....exactly as much as you need to complete your change.....:rolleyes:
 
Just occurred to me. Time is a commonly shared Temporal denominator of all 3 Spatial dimensions. It does not exist as a separate dimension but as a shared dimension of spacial geometry. Hence, spacetime = (L + t) (W + t) (D + t)

Will ponder that

Don't think it makes TIME exist though

Perhaps more akin to saying AGE occurs for all three dimensions

Ummmmm another wrinkle added

Thanks

:)
 
I looked where you indicated
In what direction were you looking, the future?
....
Couldn't find any but thanks for trying

:)[/QUOTE] Yet it was available when you needed it.

However, time may not be available for objects changing at a rate greater than "c".

Perhaps that is the limit imposed by quantum change. Any change occurring faster that "c" are unable to perform a full quantum change from one state into another and the event does not unfold into a new physical reality.

A dollar bill has a 'one' on it. Lots of human-made things have values.
Great. Show me a visible value of a natural thing.
That's nine times now.
One visible value of water is wetness.
One invisible value is electricity flowing over the surface of an electric cable.
One invisible but demonstrable value is air pressure in a balloon.

So, those are not values.

Here's my suggestion: whenever you take a word and mangle its meaning to suit your narrative, take credit for it:

One visible Write4Uvalue of water is wetness.
One invisible Write4Uvalue is electricity flowing over the surface of an electric cable.
One invisible but demonstrable Write4Uvalue is air pressure in a balloon.

Now everyone's happy. You are making your statement, and the rest of us know that you are not talking about the what rest of the world calls a value.
