This one I have in mind for a moment. Note the mess by the title :lol: It's meant to divert a bit of my posting energy, may flood a bit eventually.

Feel free to make this thread yours. Contextualizing is optional, naming known authors would be nice.

I deduce, therefore I induce.

There are no facts that science can restitute, only their representations they say. Listening to a radio show on epistemology.

Digressing ring away to a simpler thing really, Euler diagram:
Wikipedia wrote:Euler diagrams consist of simple closed curves (usually circles) in the plane that depict sets. [...] Venn diagrams are a more restrictive form of Euler diagrams. [...] When the number of sets grows beyond 3, or even with three sets, but under the allowance of more than two curves passing at the same point, we start seeing the appearance of multiple mathematically unique Venn diagrams.
I'm telling you, nothing is certain :) You can't honestly find one thing made of two sets, unless if these sets are me and what remains ;)

I am amazed at the polymorphism allowed by maths.

Nah, I believe that Heisenberg told us that many years ago ;-)

And before him, Shakespeare. All vehicules for a lasting memory I believe, wich substance is translated through the ages to our understanding (or not).

Mistaking greek myths for fairy tales is to forget the need of humankind for a memory of its persistent world.

Step aside while you are not there, for there's nothing like a second point of view ;)

The only things that didn't witness your birth were those taking part to your hatchling.

A proposition freely based on the Heinsenberg principle, accounting for indirect observation. I think, lol. The specifity of the matter that took part to your incorporation is the relative absence of a distance between. Do'h.

found that one I liked, it has no certain source:
L'ignorance révèle le savoir, le cœur révèle les deux.
translates into
Ignorance reveals knowledge, the heart reveals both.
Mmh knowledge and stuff...
