Simulacra and Reality

I don’t know how to describe my thoughts on this fluently.

• Different numbers have different operations. The available set of operators depend on the structure of the number type.
• Concepts are abstraction of reality. Reality can be quantized differently. - To an alphabet - To sound - To floating point matrices - …?
• What we call “understanding” or “knowledge” is because it can be applied. The necessity of applying it (e.g. a specific physical body) is integral to the knowledge itself.
• Everything imagined by a human mind can be achieved computationally on a digital computer. The human brain is much more energy constrained than all possible digital computers.
