[MD] What is SOM?

[David M]

Hi Krim

I don't see maths as essentialistic. Maths explores what is possible,
and assuming certain impossibilities and limits what restrcitions and
certainties can be derived from them. Its limits and so-called logic
is always self-imposed rule following. It matches up nice with our
space-time world when the assumptions match the patterns that
have been formed in our finite cosmos contingently, a contingency
of luck, trial, error, desire/choice/reason and self-replication -and
who knows how much of each.
