I agree, assuming my reconstruction of his argument is correct (nobody seems to have commented on my reconstruction though). The mathematical part of his result would barely deserve the title of "remark" in a mathematical paper, let alone "Theorem." >What is the cardinality of the set of a-priori, non-trivial statements >that have been made about the real world? ... 24 minus the sum of the >divisors of 24. You mean proper divisors, I assume? 24 - (1+2+3+4+6+8+12) = -12. An interesting set, I must say! Care to list its members? :-) You mean of course 28. -- Tim Chow tycchow@math.mit.edu Where a calculator on the ENIAC is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs 30 tons, computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and weigh only 1 1/2 tons. ---Popular Mechanics, March 1949
