“The moment you treat math as an abstraction, as unreal, as manmade, as a branch of logic, as a technical game, as a bunch of axioms, as some mere formalism, you are lost. Math, ontologically, is energy, and the study of math is the study of the existence, relations, interactions and symmetries of energy. That’s exactly why math can replace science wholesale. Anyone who approaches math as anything other than noumenal, ontological energy – energy in itself – will never get anywhere with relating math to
reality.”
Mike Hockney, Gödel Versus Wittgenstein

Tom Golway
“An issue with current data science methodologies is that the impact of contextual awareness is underestimated since the problem is much more complex. At times we incorrectly equate correlation with causation based on incomplete data or lack of understanding sensitive dependencies between data sets. - Tom Golway”
Tom Golway
