well, thanks to things like the mandlebrot set we can experience things like 4 and the quadratic equation.

And how does that work, exactly?

Looking at a pretty fractal is "experiencing 4"? I think plugging 4 into a mandlebrot equation and letting it generation a fancy design abstracts the concept and would confuse anyone as to what 4 actually meant.

Looking at pretty colors is not experiencing the actual math. It's experiencing looking at pretty colors. Your brain couldn't tell you which fractal was generated from which set of numbers.

If you looked at my poop would you be experiencing the food I ate earlier? Of course not, you wouldn't even be able to tell what I ate, unless it was corn.

psilocyberin said:
How is purity relative? can you get more than 100% purity?

and isnt your second statement pretty much a given here at the Philo forum? I agree with the statement, but lets see what happens if we put out the "absolute police" on the entire P forum.


can you even get 100% purity of anything conceptual
near impossible to do it with things chemical.
