at what point does math become philosophy? is
>>
>>16834513
Set theory, type theory, topos theory, other types of schizo category theory like cosmoi.
>>
>>16834534
Nah, those are still part of math, and are distinct from philosophy.
Philosophy only appears at the point where you have to choose which axioms to accept, or refuse, and in which frame of logic to work.
Logic itself lies at the intersection of math and philosophy, but that's all.

I've gone through most of MacLane and Moerdijk's book on topos theory, so it's quite likely I know more than you.

epistemology is safely within philosophy, at least, and equally useless, both in theory and application

i said THEORY AND application
i don't think everything needs to have an application to be interesting, hence why i included theory
however, philosophy is not interesting even in its theory, it's just full of self-important people with pet ideas that have a melty when you point out all the holes in their ramblings and that everyone gets along just fine without them

>epistemology
>entire branch
The entire "branch" of epistemology boils down to 2 options. Anything else are wordcels up to their usual game.
"Knowing" simply means predicting the future. You either predict the future based on observed past patterns of reality (empiricism, /sci/entific method) and hope the universe isn't going to fuck you over later, or you are somehow getting direct downloads (aka /x/ divine revalation) from the universe/God/matrix and just know shit and hope things pan out and you aren't going full schizo.
You literally tell me a third option that isn't some retarded play on made up words I'll recognize that "branch".

Your first hint that you're wrong should be that Grothendieck was a mathematician, not a philosopher.
Its utility as a good setting for cohomology theories alone places it firmly in mathematics. Moreover, all the preliminary work - besides size issues - one does to establish the theory of topoi is math and not philosophy.
The fact that it sees ways to approach logic makes it no more a part of philosophy than linear algebra is a subfield of physics.
>>
>>16834767
>"Knowing"
>or you are somehow getting direct downloads
Choices are made before conscious rationalization is hypothesised, and signals from gut biome or yourself or invisible signals makes no difference and has no means of determination (largely, I can within myself but have no way of teaching it).

Split brain patients "receive signals" from themselves. These can all be on the same vector denoted with "side length 1 of ____".

Every major STEM field is being revolutionized as we speak and the majority of them promote Theology as being a part of the equation. Psychology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Medical, Maths even. All of them.

>>16834513
>at what point does math become philosophy?
Things such as Pi or Phi have direct correlations to physical reality at ever scale, including the hueman scale at hueman-mortal timeframes (your lived experience...).

Living out the embodiment of something like Phi is a recorded phenomenon, this is where Geometry, Psychology, and Physics overlap.

Oh, and the definition of the number 1. You will find yourself in a series of loops, when added together, makes a giant page of bullshit. It becomes this untied end that still holds if we dont fuck with it.

"Crisis is the foundations of Mathematics". Its tied to perspective which is tied to Cognition, then the rest flows.

Yes this would be the more accurate account of what empiricism signifies. The mind is said to abstract what what is impressed upon it through sensory experience, making it possible to hold ideas.

All of these things which you mentioned are constructed. That's not say they're not mind independent, just that, there are no concrete substances like colors, water, sky, etc. Same with math. There are no concrete objects like numbers or sets. We construct them because in doing so they give us access to mind independent things which are like them.

Then Empiricism is the 1800's reach at "Psycho-Analysis" and is nonsense today.
>Empiricism rejects the idea that humans are born with innate knowledge or pre-existing concepts.
A sea turtle is born...why do they all go to the water?
>Knowledge is acquired through sensory data (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) and can be confirmed or denied through empirical evidence and observation.
Honor, truth, love, betrayal, where are these?
>It stands in contrast to rationalism, which holds that reason is the source of knowledge.
Perspectives about the observed "object" dictates it's "rationality", reason from what values? An egg is something to love for a bird but but eat for a snake, is it knowledge that an egg is food to a bird?
>Francis Bacon: Often called the "father of empiricism" for his advocacy of the scientific method, which relies on observation and experimentation.
Measurment Theory is what he is doing, not "Science". Confusing thr facts with the meaning, Richard Dawkins does this, he calls measurements "truth" not realizing its merely a "fact". What he is measuring for, for where to where, and expecting as results, is just tape measuring...not saying what shape it is. He measured for what he was looking for/could see, not what occured.

I used to think I was aware of the true natures of people and the world...

>A sea turtle is born...why do they all go to the water?
Didn't know a sea turtle was a human

Social constructs
>>
>>16835403
>A sea turtle is born...why do they all go to the water?
Instinct. A sea turtle doesn't know that if it doesn't make it to the water it will die. It does it instinctually.
>Honor, truth, love, betrayal, where are these?
By observing what we see in other people or in ourselves.
>Perspectives about the observed "object" dictates it's "rationality", reason from what values? An egg is something to love for a bird but but eat for a snake, is it knowledge that an egg is food to a bird?
You're still confusing instinct with knowledge and belief.

You know you can be an empiricist and still be religious right?

(a).
Suppose <>[]p. Assume for contradiction ~[]p. ~[]p=<>~p. By axiom 5 <>~p implies []<>~p. []<>~q=~<>[]p. But this contradicts our first assumption. Therefore we must conclude []p. Thus if <>[]p then []p

Suppose []p. Assume for contradiction ~<>[]p. ~<>[]p=[]<>~p. By axiom 4 []<>~p implies <>~p. <>~p=~[]p. But this contradicts our first assumption. Therefore we must conclude <>[]p. Thus if []p then <>[]p.

Hence []p <-> <>[]p

Wasn't calculus invented to answer these kinds of questions? Like, isn't this what you use integrals to express? Nature is full of continuous systems, but that doesn't mean we can't express them mathematically. There are these things called differential equations, maybe you've heard of them?
