<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Dear Chris,</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">As it happens, I recently circulated the following message concerning 'Mathematical Nonsense' to my discussion group: </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div>
<div><span><span lang="EN">I have just 'double-tweeted' <a href="http://uk.mc273.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=%27@InclusionAL%27" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">'@InclusionAL'</a>, partly in response to Marcus du Sautoy's outrageous statement in his trailer for 'The Code' (along the lines of 'mathematical abstraction is how we make sense of the universe'). </span></span><span lang="EN"><br>
<br><span>"For all its apparent utility, mathematical abstraction makes nonsense of Nature and a mess of life.... </span><br><br><span>...We need to understand, work with and mentally represent REAL space and boundaries, not deceptive constructs founded on unrealistic premises" </span><br>
<br><br><span>I feel these points are especially relevant for all kinds of practitioners, because practitioners have to work with
reality, and so unrealistic models of reality may seriously impede and impair their creative potential. </span><br><br><span>My enquiries into what I have come to call (only for the sake of having a 'label' for it) 'natural inclusionality' began with a feeling of discomfort about how biological reality was being represented mathematically and conceptually. There was something about the ABSTRACT QUALITY of these quantitative representations that didn't relate well with my actual practical experience and that, moreover, had very nasty implications if followed through to their objective conclusion (as per the holocaust and recent happenings in Norway ). </span><br>
<br><span>To work out what was wrong about/missing from these abstract representations, I had to go all the way back in my own mind to first principles, without, for the time being, being concerned about what other people might or
might not have said. This led me to think about the way abstract logic represents space and boundaries, and to recognise that this is not consistent with my actual experience of life and love. So, I asked myself (and others with whom I engaged in conversation) - what representations of space and boundaries ARE consistent with and do make sense of my actual experience. First, I thought about boundaries - and recognised (in my book, 'Degrees of Freedom - living in dynamic boundaries) that boundaries are always to variable degrees dynamic, permeable and connective and that they SIMULTANEOUSLY face both inwardly and outwardly. This led me to think about space as the limitless, frictionless 'medium' in which boundaries are 'suspended' like 'solute in solvent'. </span><br>
<br><span>Then the penny dropped. Oh My God! Abstract rationality has really screwed up our understanding of reality and is making a horrible mess of our
lives and habitat. To make amends, we have to bring the infinite depth of space as an intangible presence back into our understanding of dynamical form as an energetic configuration OF space, not an abstraction FROM space. </span><br>
<br><span>All this came from first principles and real personal experience. It didn't come from academic scholarship. As far as Academia is concerned, I still feel like a babe in the woods. Slowly I have been trying to unravel the many layers of academic complication that have obscured what at heart seems like such a basic and simple truth. Real space is a receptive (non-resistive) presence everywhere, and real boundaries are zones both of dynamic distinction and mutual inclusion. Form is energetic. Space cannot be cut. </span><br>
<br><span>Real-world practitioners need in their praxis (theory and practice) to understand, work with and mentally represent
(re-imagine) real space and boundaries, not deceptive constructs. At heart, it's very simple. The difficulty comes in dealing with the mess made by impositional abstraction in every kind of human endeavour. Dealing with that mess is where the need arises for many talents to come together. </span><br>
<br><span>In the words of Michael Polyani: </span><br><br><br><span>“For once men have been made to realize the crippling mutilations imposed by an objectivist framework – once the veil of ambiguities covering up these mutilations has been definitely dissolved – many fresh minds will turn to the task of reinterpreting the world as it is, and as it then once more will be seen to be.” </span></span></div>

<div>THE GREATEST MATHS ERROR IN THE WORLD</div>
<div>these 11 may be right but I search for a simpler overall slogan and I believe what is common between all these problems is <b>their short-termism robs youth to line the pockets of ever fewer elders</b> (orwells big brother end game of superpower beating super-empowerment - given only one of the 2 will spin tech's interconnected global villages)</div>
<div><b></b> </div>
<div><b>in other words all these people who rule and boundarise the world with top-down economics and media and polarised politics are in one meta-network computing a way ahead that disinvests in every community's capacity to support youth's productive future - if you look at my <a href="http://normanmacrae.ning.com/forum/topics/norman-macrae-books-surveys" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dads 40 years of daries</a> at The Economist you will see how he tracked with ever incraesing horror but optimistic tone this takeover of a discipline (celebrated for first 145 years of The Economist) which was orignated by french and scots to invest in our childrens children more productive lives</b></div>
<div> </div>
<div>is pro-youth versus anti-youth an agreable headline to the people you network with or not?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>-in terms of communicating the 2 approached that my famjily's friends have found netwirk over 30 years is </div>
<div>one slogan </div>
<div>or</div>
<div>catalogue solutions that match elders life legacies with youths heroic gaols- </div>
<div><a href="http://leadersandyunus.ning.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://leadersandyunus.ning.com</a> </div>
<div>that's why the second leg of what macrae foundation partners want to focus on is forming a league table of 50 exciting projects- ones that if you find solutions to help nyouth in one nation can network across to other youth's nations</div>
<div> </div>
<div>we circulated over 400 books around rebeccas world entrepreneur net at start of 2008 which showed how yunus plays the game whenever he assembles exciting projects; nick and sabine took 1000 people meetingts; my dad invited 40 of you to lunch and yet london still doesnt seem to have come up with one exciting project the world youth could use</div>
<div> </div>
<div>or if you think it has please tell me or <a href="http://www.knowledgeboard.com/cgi-bin/discuss.cgi?thread_id=564" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">EU </a>where its bookmark is</div>
<div> </div>
<div>incidentally I believe brazil is coming up with several top 50 solutions uniting youth; if <a href="http://www.simpol.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.simpol.org</a> still has activist networks into tehre who could I chat to first</div>

I think this extract spells out strongly the fundamental structural faults we have to tackle -soooon !
Perhaps this should be converted intoa short and pithy article.
