#Pythagoras believed the world was made of #numbers—until irrational numbers like √2 broke that belief. Centuries later, #Russell tried to build #math on logic, but #Gödel proved no system can capture all truth. Today, #AI is built on the same false faith: that everything is #computable. But life isn’t code. It’s blurry, intuitive, #contradictory. The dream of full #understanding through math isn’t just wrong—it’s a #delusion we keep repeating.

"Bij Logius zorgen we ervoor dat onze toepassingen voor iedereen werken. Dat vraagt om een diverse werkvloer," zegt Rükiye Aytekin, SIEM-specialist Security Operations Center bij Logius.

That thing when you unpack a removal box for the first time in over 30 years and find things wrapped in an old copy of a trade paper... #retrocomputing #computable #surprise

2012. Septiembre. Por aquel entonces celebrábamos, con el ya desaparecido profesor Jesús Mosterín, el centenario del nacimiento del padre de la #informática teórica: Alan #Turing. ¿Qué es una función #computable? ¿Y un #algoritmo?

"Tuurlijk, soms is het frustrerend als ik de trage voortgang zie. Maar dan ga ik, ter compensatie, de volgende dag lekker programmeren."

Mooi interview met Paul Klint over Unix, Rascal, Cobol, AcICT, en zelfs het informaticastimuleringsplan uit 1984.

`..Solomonoff's induction is uncomputable...he showed that computability & completeness are mutually exclusive: any complete theory must be uncomputable. The proof of this is derived from a game between the #induction & the environment... any computable induction can be tricked by a computable environment, by choosing the computable environment that negates the #computable induction's prediction. This fact can be regarded as an instance of the no free lunch #theorem`

@corbden So in terms of #ontology, the #universe is a formulation of itself, but in terms of #epistemology, it can only be described with approximations because its description contains unsolvable (in the general case) equations or non-computable functions. The universe/physics is not a computation process. It is not limited to the Turing-#computable. And, as a consequence, we are not living in a #simulation. #philosophy

Take any real life process P which has countably finite number of steps
What does that say about P
- #algorithm (P) terminates
- P is #computable
- a #Turing machine can compute P
- none of these
