Everything is fundamentally discrete, but the patterns we care about are usually made up of too many parts to count, and we describe them by continuous low dimensional geometries.

A description of reality is not reality. It is a description.

Yes, reality cannot be experienced. Everything you experience is a description, so it is described somehow, which implies that there is a language in which they take place, which in turn means that you have to go back to constructive math, which is fundamentally discrete...

The idea that "everything experienced is a description" is a common misunderstanding of the human capacity to set aside discursive or mathematical thought and is an *a priori* limitation. (E.g. experience of *clear light* is not a description).

I don’t mean a reflexive, conceptual description. There is a language in which our perception is encoded, and it is described by neural firing patterns.

Ok. Let's fly the Wiggenstein flag over the landscape and wait for now. This is a fundamental question. (It is here that epistemology becomes ontology or vice versa).
