Why exclude the symbolism of art making when

this very human of activities from our earliest records

of reality as, say, explained by either classical,

Here is a better statement of the question? My apologies.

Why exclude the symbolism of art making from
science when it is simply a personal variation of
mathematics--and, does this very human of
activities from our earliest records (Lascaux,
France), really diifer from our perception
of 'reality' today, say, as explained by either
classical, quantum, or 'new' physics?"

Dr. Al,
That response was unecessary. Again, you did not understand the question.

Is that idiotic drool supposed to be poetry?
Whatever it is or however it "diifers",  "Why" needs a
question mark somewhere.

I see you understood,  (you know, newsgroup format typos
are not mine alone). You know it is a question from your
basic 'mastery' of English ... so what is your answer, fellow
drooler? ;-)

Here's the 'poem' again.

Why exclude the symbolism of art making when

it is personal variation of mathematics, and does

this very human of activities from our earliest records

(Lascaux, France), really differ from our perception

of reality as, say, explained by either classical,

quantum, or 'new' physics.

Androcles, you are warm and fuzzy, like an atom.
Look, this query is only about the 'structure' (I really
do not have the correct word here), about 'perception',
I will say that another way, about 'observation and
consciousness, which seems to trigger our 'reality'.
Within string theory 'hypothica' this phenomena seems
to 'be'. This theory was articulated by HUP (Heisenberg
Uncertainty Principle), but since, not resolved.

I am simply stating that 'observational' reality is common.
The scientific resolution, the mathematic resolution at this
moment: unresolved.

Thanks for being a thorn.

'To be', is an intransitive verb.

"OUR" perception is not *MY* reality. Do not include
me in "our".

I merely pointed out the assumptive nature of your
"why (without a question mark)" and affirm that How High
is indeed a Chinaman, I met him the other day.

During the English examination, where Peter had had "had had",
Paul had had "had had had"; "had had had" had had a detrimental
effect on the marks awarded to Paul and Peter was declared top
of the class.

Without punctuation:

Go back to school and learn the importance of punctuation.

In a court of law if an attorney uttered "Why exclude the
symbolism of art..." it would immediately be objected to and
the objection sustained, it calls for conclusion on the part of
the witness that he is not qualified to give. It is a "leading" question.
You have yet to establish that the symbolism of art is excluded.

: Within string theory 'hypothica' this phenomena seems

: Uncertainty Principle), but since, not resolved.

"Seems" isn't relevant. This straw seems to be broken.

It isn't, but it seems to be.

Subjective science is an oxymoron.  To be science, objectivity
is a first requirement. What is observed and what is reality
are not always the same, the straw being my ideal exemplar.

painlessly. Quit squealing like a stuck pig, it's for your own good.
You can have some candy afterwards, but first I need to get

Yes, there is a huge difference.  Science must always be testable in
the natural world.

Math has less restrictions since it's only required to be internally
consistent.  And art is entirely arbitrary.

Thank you Igor, I always value your observations.

Ergo: Science, math, art are not equal vis a vis testability,
interal consistency and arbitrary value and/or form ...
did I understand your response correctly?

I'm not trying to lure a philosophical argument  here ... just
pondering some hypothetica abstract concept is all ... it's probably a
dead issue, but the 'nut' (not Uncle Al), of my inquiry is this: as we
approach
quantum states, our 'understanding' results in some rather counterintuitive
'visualizations', (how do mathematicians  'visualize' anyway?), just-like-
artists.

This is art:

Note: the second is a crappy abstraction of the first, mere caricature,
the first is an artistic abstract depiction of Nature.
There is fart, and there is ART.

This is abstract physics:

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder... some people like crap.

The straw is broken, the empirical evidence is overwhelming.

Baron Victor von Frankenstein's personal assistant may be correct
in what he says, but he ignores the test results.

Heller wrote: "There was only one catch and that was Catch 22, which
specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were
real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.
"Orr (a character in the novel) was crazy and could be grounded. All he had
to do was ask, and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would
have to fly more missions.

"Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he
was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have
to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to."

In Einstein's case if you use c+v you can derive c = (c+v)/(1+v/c) from
the cuckoo malformations he blamed on Lorentz. That says you can't
use c+v.

What kooks like Schwartz and Poe fail to realise is the isomorphism
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomorphism
between Sagnac's real experiment and Einstein's thought experiment,
shown here:
http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/TwoSpeedRack.gif
Einstein sends light along the rack and back again, the rack
moving at velocity v in his thoughts.
Sagnac sends the light around the gear wheel for real.
If you analyse one you should get the same result as the other, but
you cannot use SR to derive SR, that is  petitio principii, circularity.
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question

c+v is essential to the derivation of the cuckoo malformations, the
part where Einstein screws up is:
'we establish by definition that the "time" required by
light to travel from A to B equals the "time" it requires
to travel from B to A' because I SAY SO. -- Rabbi Albert Einstein

http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Smart/tAB=tBA.gif

Here are some mathematical proofs:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof

Not included are
Proof by "because I say so",
Proof by "everybody knows",
Proof by "it is written",
the three most popular forms used in sci.physics.relativity.

You'll often see this pathetic mob muttering "Lorentz Transformations"
but they haven't a clue how they are derived and faithfully follow their
indoctrination like lemmings.

I could also make the case that for Leonardo's time, the portrait
was also science.

I make the case that Einstein was a raving lunatic.

could you also say that the human processes involved in
visualisation are ultimately and irreducebly a cause of
mathematics, say?

Quantum states or classical states.  It doesn't matter.  Any theory
thus constructed still has to answer to scientific testability.
Otherwise, it's not science.

My point was that math doesn't need to address nature.  It's only
required to be internally consistent.  Art really has no requirements
at all.  It's the most subjective of the three.
