"La realidad es como esa imagen nuestra que surge en todos los espejos,
simulacro que por nosotros existe, que con nosotros viene, gesticula y se va,
pero en cuya busca basta ir, para dar siempre con ella". J. L. Borges.
“whatever we say it [order] is, it is not… It is more than we say, as well as being capable of being unfolded in infinity many ways that are different. To attempt to attribute order to object or subject is too limited. It is both and neither, and yet something beyond all this: a dynamic process that involves subject, object, and the cycle of perception-communication that unites and relates them.” D. Bohm.
"Lo esencial es invisible a los ojos, ... ". El Principito.
"Some people believe
they know (e.g., many classical economists), others know they believe (e.g.,
many physicists, philosophers, people working in AI and social simulation),
even more, others know that what they know is true while it is kept away from
reality (e.g., mathematicians) ...". The Logician .
