Have decided #BlueSky is pretty much useless for my purposes until they raise the character limit to something reasonable. #Mathstodon allows 1729 characters and that's a mite cramped but workable, #ResearchGate has no limit so far as I've seen.

It's #SaturdayScience once again, where we remind ourselves what we are fighting for.
What sciencey things are you excited about this week? Maybe something you're working on? Or a paper you read / a talk you heard?

That brings us to Question 2 —
• What are the forces distorting our representations of what's observed, what's expected, and what's intended?
In that connection Max Weber saw how a state's accounting systems are intended as representations of realities its crew and passengers must observe or perish.
The Founders of the United States, like the Cybernauts of the Enlightenment they were, engineered a ship of state with checks and balances and error-controlled feedbacks for the sake of representing both reality and the will of the people.

Statistics were originally the data a ship of state needed for stationkeeping and staying on course.
That brings us to Question 1 —
• What are formalisms and all their embodiments in brains and computers good for?
Peirce understood there are more truths in mathematics than are dreamt of in logic — and Gödel's realism should have put the last nail in the coffin of logicism — but some ways of thinking just never get a clue.
We do not live in axiom systems. We do not live encased in languages, formal or natural. There is no reason to think we will ever have exact and exhaustive theories of what's out there, and the truth, as we know, is “out there”.
In my studies it led me from math to psych and back again, with sidelong glances at the history of democratic governance. Its time come round again, I find myself returning to the scenes of two recurring questions.

Representation is a concept we find at the intersection of cybernetics, epistemology, logic, mathematics, psychology, and sociology.

❝A child hears it said that the stove is hot. But it is not, he says; and, indeed, that central body is not touching it, and only what that touches is hot or cold. But he touches it, and finds the testimony confirmed in a striking way.

Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics 4.5, 1126a12–13:
For evil also destroys itself, and if it pervades one completely, it is unendurable.
τὸ γὰρ κακὸν καὶ ἑαυτὸ ἀπόλλυσι, κἂν ὁλόκληρον ᾖ, ἀφόρητον γίνεται.
