[1]10-and_26_the-link-between_body-parts_and_dimensionsI woke up with a hypothesis. I wondered if, being humans doing math, if our conceptualization of dimensions (in string theory, economics, etc) tended towards numbers related to the body parts that we learn for ourselves that show, "This is Human". In other words, do we ultimately map Reality upon our own bodies, especially with mathematics? (In higher math, certain dimensions like to pop up a lot like 10 dimensions and 26 dimensions) Well, it may be true or it may be a ridiculous notion, but a quick search for "translations for body parts different languages" came up with this image as the second result. Not proof of anything, but food for thought. We're still humans after all, doing this math, for even if we have computers to do the heavy lifting for us, we're still human beings coming up with with the questions and human beings interpreting the answers. Of course, different countings come up with different numbers. 10 fingers and toes, we have distinctions of left and right... etc. But the fact that these parts are considered important enough to learn separately, to 'know' - with distinct names for each common enough to teach small children... is it not possible that these 'magic numbers' get buried as deep connecting points for how we analyze reality (even if we use numbers and computers to help us). [and the Law of Excluded Middle is simply a matter of "Left side, Right side" and excluding "the passions/emotions/animal side" that is inbetween - the genitals... objects of confusion, embarrassment, "genderness" and other things that are not nearly as neat and orderly as it would be if we just exclude the middle altogether? Did I... did I just become a feminist?] "We map the internal and external with the same mental tools that were evolved to map our simple environment hundreds of thousands of years ago." * Yeah that's what I was thinking. Functionally, humans haven't changed. For all the fancy tools we make and all the systems of thinking we come up with... we're still the same humans that we were 100,000 years ago, subject to the same amazing capabilities and the same limitations as well. [2]4 mins * [3]Like * [4][IMG] [5]Kenneth Udut I don't think the environment was simpler though. The detailed knowledge required to survive required intimate knowledge of hundreds of plants, animals, each other. We started making sharp objects to cut with VERY early on, carving out reality with differentiations right from the beginning. Recording for those that come after we die has made all the difference, and societies to pass on the methodology to interpret the various recordings. But still, each of us start off as babies, counting our fingers and toes.
