Never expect the expected in this reality. It's probably comfortable being mathematical without the numbers but it is decidedly impractical. It needs a new name. |
Nice references Baudrunner - thanks.
I jut did a websearch on "structural mathematics" and saw that many universities in the UK and the US cover "finite and structural mathematics" but I could not find any specific references to what they mean by "structural mathematics".
Lot of references to geodesic structure - spot on I say - and this weird idea about using 60 degrees instead of 90 degrees to map space, at least I think that is waht this is about

A study of the microbiological structures, the radiolaria, will always show that they are based on either the tetrahedron, the octahedron, or the icosahedron.

As for Einstein - I only heard a quote where he says he could never grasp fluid dynamics, and thought, uhuh, that is EXACTLY the problem with Einstein, apart from his fixation with x,y,z, co-ordinate geometry which then melted into gaussian (salvador Dali) forms of drunken x, y, z geometry.
My idea is to think through a third theory or relativity using rotational co-ordinate geometry - where things are positioned as they APPEAR to an observer at any point, with reference to rotation, the decision of where our axis of rotation is, and the practical assumption to all incarnated beings actually in physical form to observe anything must be on a rotating gravity bound planet anyway...
Well, baudrunner, from what you say, I conclude that the term Structural Mathematics as such, is possibly used or possibly understodd as a form of physical description of space that is nothing to do with numbers. Thanks.
