Ross, that post, like so many of yours, displays only local
coherence.
Each sentence looks like it would make sense if only one were to
read the
surrounding context. On doing so, no overall sense is to be found,
just
a vague drift from allusions to topics, never quite settling on
anything
definite.

I have a theory, not confirmed by RF,

in which credit is given for _creativity_ or
of the sheer number of ideas thrown out,

But my theory comforts me.
I don't try to connect Ross's posts to my posts.
He presents a buffet.

It's a nursery rhyme,
"my hat has three corners,
three corners has my hat."
Then the "line-reals field-reals signal-reals"
reflects on the definition of three distinct
definitions of continuous domains with
regards to the Integer Continuum and the
Long-Line Continuum the Linear Continuum,
about continuity and the continuum according
to mathematics. (A universal language, ....)
I really enjoy the "my hat has three corners,
three corners has my hat", because it helps
to effect in language that relation, has inverses,
and that for example a relation like "has", has that
"the class containing my hat has a hat of three corners",
and, "the class of things with three corners includes my hat".
Then there's also that in language, that "has" inverts,
that what something "has" also "has" it. My three-cornered
hat has three corners, and in corners, three is what it has
and what has it. It's only and exactly one hat.
"Say it don't spray it?" I was reading something about
Freud the other day, who finally defines mental _health_,
as, _harmonious_, as with regards to neurosis, being
anything that causes discord and working those out.
People with bigger minds have more things to keep together,
and often enough an easier time of it.
Anyways they didn't already have a "line-reals field-reals
signal-reals" yet in mathematics so I thought it was rather
lacking, because it's rather present, and this represented
a real problem in its thinking.
Mein Hut hat drei Ecken, ..., drei Ecken hat mein Hut.
All one theory
Anyways thanks you're welcome to your opinions,
I only have a very strong opinion what mathematics' is.
You see, the goal of mathematical foundations:
is to only need one opinion, and it's good.
