Well, first, use a logic programming language and report back. Then understand that math is almost wholly non-empirical. The things discovered or made up in math are not reflective of the real world, most of the time, regardless of how closely it resembles. Take for instance euclidean geometry. In the world of equations, everything works. But a point, or a line, are neither things that exist out in the world, much less their relations which, when drawn on the surface of the earth, are probably not actually euclidean at all. Number theory in particular is almost never about math, but about the patters mathematicians believe they recognize. Somebody a'ong the lines goes "oh hey check out this flower. I bet this is the only flower of this type in the world" and then spend hundreds of years trying to prove it. |
