Intuitionist mathematics

A very good explanation. I like the analogy with computers and algorithms. I would love to know more about it. Thanks for posting.

Let me explain what underlies what he is saying. Imagine the universe as a giant sphere. The point at which the univers acheives perfect balance is where "Pi" as a ratio would be exactly acheived. As time progresses in the universe, it gets closer to this perfect balance. However, that is emergent from all the constituent processes, thus can only be realized through the passage of time. So we see, time is LITERALLY the controlling factor for precision.

As I was listening to the idea of evolving random digits, it is akin to the random fluctuations in Quantum Field Theory, which gives rise to the notion of quantum particles. Maybe numbers are in fact those very particles arising from the number field. This could explain the fine structure constant which is close to 1/137, a dimensionless number. How nice! Just an intuition...

Excellent

If you think like this you're basically saying that things which we don't understand don't exist... which might be fine if all you're talking about is numbers but just try and apply that to actual reality.

is it a good and easy topic for a presentation in philosophy class?
