Doubt: Difference between revisions

Smite flat the thick rotundity o’ the world! <br>  

Crack nature’s moulds, an germens spill at once, <br>

In defence of [[doubt]]; a much-maligned force for good in the world.

Now we can, with our word games, do our best minimise indeterminacy. For example, [[legal language]] is ''meant'' to do this, by convention eliminating [[metaphor]], slang and informal constructions; generally sacrificing ''elegance'' for [[certainty]]. Where there remains potential ambiguity, legal language tries to further diminimish it with [[definitions]], but even there, the best we can hope for is that our static document can describe the order, state and function of a simple system. It is beyond the power of any algorithm to describe a complex system.
