Because of that we can bring beauty down to a set of numbers, life down to a four line equasion, etc. But is this the best way to describe the traits and patterns of the world? Inthe case of beauty, we can define bit with numbers, but we can't CREATE it. But with words, we can truly create beauty; we can describe the elements of life and we also can explore that which numbers cannot. Death, reality, and love. So what do you guys think?
Numbers are truth in there most reduced form? is this is a form of reductionism but for the wisdom that only numbers alone can show us?
So if we use numbers where there could be description and beauty we are selling ourselves out of an experience that aids in how we appreciate anyhting including the stark beauty that mathematics can bring us.
Some beauties and truths are only truely experienced in there numerical stark form, some truths alone are mathematics. Just as some beauties are beautiful because of the math.
We should be more worried with our misuse of the language than we do about answering with numbers, because some numbers mean more than any many words ever could, they give it icon, look at the infinity sign it means something and is art in of its own accord.
God is absolute Zero to infinitum, look at the 0, it is a circle, it is unbroken it is neverending, look at the infinity sign 8, it is the circle twisted it is a cicle everlasting with a nature with a personality, it could even be said it contradicts itself.
Numbers are beautiful we just need to know what beauty has instore for those who wish to know and see the universe what truth it has by numbers alone can describe that purety that words would have no place in trying to.
The numbers may infact give birth to new ways of expression because numbers may come first, there may be no choice in it, to be able to express something we must first be able to understand it, numbers come before language although they are the first language there was and is ever growing, dont worry the words will be expressed when the numbers are fully realised.
