[MD] Science and the MOQ

[ian glendinning]

All - that is ALL - statements are analogies (metaphors) at root.

But over time metaphors die. They become taken - socially adopted - as
the very language itself - (all communication and computation /
symbolic-manipulation exploits "compression" ie brevity as a matter of
efficiency) - life's too short.

Remember the PoMo (Lyotard ?) map the same size and level of detail as
the world itself ?

Language of Dead Metaphors - coined by George Lakoff.
