Not being a Trinitarian I am not sure how much help I can be. In fact it
seems to me you are really pushing it since this looks a lot more like:
1+1+1=5.
[Ron]
More like 1+1+1=1,(.45+.45+.45=1.35) my emphisis lies in the averaging.
the value for absolute.
That pirsig is right, the trinity is right, the tao te ching is right.
Value my friend, right Here in river city.
[Case]
That's a capital V and that rhymes with P and that stand for Pool.
[Ron]
Beginning and end, zero, and
any absolute is a contruct for understanding An illusionary tool.
1+1 is allways going on . 1+1 can equal
3. 1+1 can equal 2. 1+1 can equal 1.
Three outcomes depending on the value of 1 .
"one" is not absolute. it is the value of one that can never be known
[Case]
But 1 is absolute. It signifies a single specific point on the number line.
It is exact. Rounding error fizzes all around it but it is complete and
unambiguous. Just like every other point on the line well except for the
square root of 2 and its ilk. 1 to the minus gazillion is no less absolute
but a gazillion times more obscure.
[Ron]
The dynamic value. That's what is so interesting about fractile geometry
It randomly flipflops the rounding error creating interesting
nature-like Mathmatical constructs when compounded geometricly, thus it
seems infinately Large and infinately small with great detail limited
only by the decimal Place allowed for rounding.
[Case]
Exactly, rounding error and the number iterations you select for each point.
[Ron]
The same thing goes for language you assume an absolute definition So
that communication is understandable but in reality terms mean different
Things to different people. The "value" of the term must be established
Before communication can be more accurate especially when involved In
abstract thought when the variation in the value of a term can Compound
instantly.
[Case]
Word meanings seem more like fuzzy sets than fractals to me but what the
heck I am in the mood to almost agree with everyone today.
