Comment Re:It's math (Score 1) 171

I just want for someone to prove the Church-Turing conjecture for the set of all finite programs<->calclus. I specified finite as PM breaks down when dealing with an infinite number of elements into a set and Godel do not applies here as I do not search the truth value of a proposition, only a mapping D->P as I transform the parsing and interpretation of a finite description D to an hypothetical lambda calculus problem P. As long as all descriptions are finite and that the Church-Turing conjecture holds true, my conjecture is safe. Sure, there is no usefulness in that transformation, it's only a device to show that at least one mathematical description must exist.
I wish I could address your remark on Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus but I lack knowledge of that book to address your concerns.
And lastly, the project in Principia Mathematica is, in my humble opinion, not failed but it is incomplete and limited to finite sets.

I would argue that every non-mathematical correct description of nature is transformable into math by involving the Church-Turing lambda-reductibility thesis. Axiom 1: A description is made using a language. Axiom 2: A description is not infinitely long. A correct non-mathematical description of a natural process using a language. Since that natural process is express as with a language, it is possible to build an interpreter for that a finite set of that language. Since an interpreter is realized-by and realized computations, according to the Church-Turing thesis an equivalent lambda calculus problem exists. Therefore, if the Church-Turing lambda-reductibility thesis hold true, every language based description must have at least one equivalent mathematical problems. I concede that this description is probably useless and really hard to build but it exist nonetheless.

Thats why drones are so popular nowadays. All the benefits of killing people, without all the personal risk. Its a win-win all round. Makes sense doesn't it?

It does, way too much for my own taste. That why it should be banned: it does make it too safe to kill...

Well here we give in house MS Office training to those who request it, but we are a University and we give that training as a part of the business administration cursus, so that training only cost us the trainee time.

Some laws are worth less than friend, even shady friends...
ex: Let's assume that a friend confess to me that he raped a girl last weekend, I would denounce him without a hint of hesitation. Now imagine that he confessed that last weekend he was snorting cocaine on some prostitutes ass; I would not call the cops, would you ?
