Probability theory is unable to *talk about* most topics, much less explain them. http://meaningness.com/probability-and-logic … explains, with minimal formalism.

From the meta-systematic pov, “an epistemology” is impossible. No system can encompass all ways of knowing, used in different domains.

That’s great! The meta-systematic pov is central to what I’m (slowly) writing about, so it’s an important distinction.

So, is the meta-systematic pov/epistemology formalizable?

Presumably not. (No strong proof, but strong heuristic evidence.)

What about Church-Turing? ("Strong heuristic evidence" sounds suspiciously Bayesian... :p)

I don’t think C-T is relevant. Explaining why not is too complex for a tweet.
