more space lost and found

[Richard Fiero]

If I had a point, it was that our intuition fails to identify much of 
anything other than whether it is day or night, hot or cold, and 
where the bathroom is.
We can have no expectation to imagine other dimensions. Joseph 
however was saying something a little different. Possibly that math 
rubs him the wrong way. We have no reasonable expectation that 
mathematics describes anything about reality. There is no positive 
proof of that other than it seems to work. We do long division but 
that is not math. It's just a set of steps that appear to give a good 
enough answer. I fail to understand why one might read P who puts a 
lot of period mathematics into his books: M&D, GR and AtD. I'm also 
very curious about Maxwell's Demon. I see the demon at work in every 
free marketer's notion of an invisible hand and in the military 
funding of operations research.
