Many fascinating reply threads! “How to actually do math” is taboo for some reason; there’s almost nothing written about it. You have to get the secret oral transmission. Can we use the interwebs to break that code of silence?https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1190039312794079234 …

I manage software architecture / large codebases as ghostly shapes (representing major components) that interact kinesthetically, too. Sections of code have textures like fabric, or like topography. Smells and flavors, good and bad.https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1190318283146158080 …

@joogipupu describes the feeling of math as like that of working with the “subtle body” in which “energies” (rLung) move through a network of “channels” (rTsa), carrying with them “corpuscles” (thigle)https://twitter.com/joogipupu/status/1190045312645132289?s=20 …Show this thread -

@postreptilian asks about “yidam,” the practice of experiencing oneself in the form of a specific enlightened being, which does seem quite similar to me (except enlightenment, not algebra, so not EXACTLY the same…) 3/3https://twitter.com/postreptilian/status/1190149590953021440?s=20 …Show this thread

@Numenta works in this area, as well. -
We think the brain uses similar mechanisms we evolved to map sensations to physical space to build abstract concepts in non-physical space. (grid cells, place cells, head direction cells, etc)

This is why I use simple shapes for my math, when communicating the things I'm thinking about. And it's why I never found mainstream academic math very useful.

Most theories in Physics originate from intuitive thought. Very rare case is Dirac where new discovery was found in math.
