No model can ever represent nature. A model helps prediction which helps convergence to certainty through consensus.
Although this opens a can of worms of what “accurately represented” means. A threshold comes into account. Then it unpacks into what is existence.
Fun stuff...
I’ve been thinking a lot of “errors” in our models (language, ideas, etc) are emergent from not considering change. Nothing in the universe is still. Everything changes or vibrates. The only things that are still, don’t exist.
It makes me imagine that we need an evolution in our language and core reasoning that intrinsically embeds change and or perspective (relativity?)
I’ve had this thought recently again based on studying what numbers are. The definition of numerals vs numbers vs integers and number theory, etc...
Even the “numbers” that we try to reference seems to exist as non fixed value of infinite change. Also makes me think of what is that core “thing” that allows a number to expose itself within our frame of reality? It seems to consistently show itself through mathematics and information theory and computer science. Perhaps all related to geometry in some way?
