The concept of circumscription has been so important for me these last 6-8 months—I don’t recall when this journey began. My mind SNAPPED at the thought of defining more and more relations to get a clearer picture of something via successive approximations
I didn’t know that’s what calculus was ACTUALLY trying to do either. My intro to math twitter was those riddles people would share, and I thought it was SO CRAZY that given these conditions (premise) here are things we can extrapolate. It’s like inference but ... responsible.
The power of geometry is innebriating. I can see how relations w/ shape can give the impression that we can understand the world THROUGH shape, provided we can properly define all the dimensions.
