I think it's a matter of the lenses one sees through. In the realm of pure mathematics, Max has an amazing theory that is very appealing. I don't doubt that it *could* hold true. My main concern would be [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-world_assumption - mathematics is a self-supporting, self-stabilizing system of thought and discourse. It is extraordinarily powerful at description; as powerful as other forms of language. In some ways, it is *more* powerful for its internal consistency, for one thing that is mathematical *will* support something else that is mathematical. The same thing cannot hold true for other languages, with looser constraints. Verbal language, musical language - they each have grammars and constraints that make them "what they are" - but they lack internal consistency to the incredible degree of mathematics. That being said.. it has no room for non-mathematical things. It has no room for inconsistencies in the same way that other languages have. That is its power and strength but also a potential weak point. My question is this: Can the map ever become the territory? Is it possible?
