Lexington, VA. In “Paradigms of Math and Non-quantifiable Values,” I argued that our current paradigms of mathematics are not creating the outcomes for which we hope. By thinking of mathematical sciences as an optimizer for anything quantifiable, or as a source of Truth, we ironically end up with sub-optimal results, and truth remains elusive. The problem is not the mathematics itself, as that is only a tool.
Lexington, VA. We quantify things continuously as we move through the everyday activities of our lives, from checking the number of pennies in our bank account to measuring the ingredients for our latest culinary endeavor. Measuring, ordering (sequencing), adding, and manipulating figures has become so commonplace that we rarely stop to think about it. We think instead about the process itself–how to accomplish a particular arithmetic task.
