Thanks, Eric

I understand about needing to focus on your own path--this kind of stuff can expand to consume all one's thoughts!

I've often thought that Sacred Geometry has a lot to do with epistemology, and that phi, the Golden Ratio, served to relate the parts to the whole, which is the epistemological function of a transcendent God, it seems to me. Hence the importance of monotheism to the development of science.

In other words, we need to postulate some sort of Ultimate, even if we can't prove it, in order to think well.

Best wishes on your AI patent, and please know your input is always welcome here!
