I'll try to make this brief..

Math is an Invention, not a Discovery...arguement solved.

Take for example:

The "Mandelbrot set"


It is no different
than giving an Artist
cannabis
and music
and you get the same effect
in the mind of the Artist
that you get with the
"Mandelbrot set".


That is proof Math is an invention of man.

Mandelbrot wanted to see what happens when the orbits of z=z^2+c stay 
small vs the ones that blow up into infinity. He got some of his 
colleagues to write a program to graph it, and out popped the Mandelbrot 
set. AFAICT, it was quite a beautiful discovery.

I would like to see a stoned Artist plot the set by hand. Wouldn't it 
kill their buzz?

I didn't say "by hand", I wrote: "in the mind of the Artist"


"in the mind..."


That is where The "Mandelbrot set" exist Only, in the Mind.


Now, with 
giving an Artist
 cannabis
and music...
 you get the same effect
 'in the mind' of the Artist
 that you get with the
 "Mandelbrot set".

Wow. Smoking weed and listing to music can create zooms of the set in 
your mind?

Na. You can actually plot it, its not that hard and pretty 
straightforward. Have you ever tried to do it?

Well of course! If you do a google Image search for 1970's vintage posters during the turn-on generation,

you will see ' zooms of the set'

You can do it without using math...


cannabis
 and music
....
the math version is just....LSD with numbers.

Well, I guess one can. But, using math, one does not have to expose the 
mind to chemicals.

LSD! Now, that shi% is really bad... A couple of friends of mine told me 
they never really felt the same after exposing their brain to it, and 
they actually regret doing it in the first place.

Hummm. I think I may have missed your point. Are you saying that once 
one plots the MSet, one must have theoretically absorbed LSD, and its 
brain might be totally fried, even though it never has taken it at all?

although the mini-M-sets are strictly artifacts
of the floatingpoint specification (IEEE-#,
it does seem to be the epitome of psychedelica
