Binary and Everything - 12-05-2004, 12:50 PM

Well yes of course, binary with its zero must be included in any TOE because a 'TOE' means 'everything.'

Naturally those involved when struggling with 'everything' have tended to say 'everything except...' For example, love and the subjective tend to be included in the section of 'everything except.' The subjective though is one of the mainstays of human existence, with its love, dreams and theories. (Why is there a TOE search? It's a dream of discovery that the sciences have. So the impetus for their search IS subjective).

Therefore if the sciences don't think a TOE is possible (ie EVERYTHING) maybe defeat should be admitted. Use a name other than TOE that does not include 'everything.' Then again, 'theory' doesn't mean actuality either. Theory means, more or less, 'a hopeful collection of hopeful notions which may or may not be verified.'

Thankfully my area of mysticism is devoid of collections of hopeful notions, so that knowledge includes binary, because it can.
