David Seaman proposes for a (beginning) TOE:

> sum(everything) = 0
> sum(everything known by conscious subjects) = infinity
> sum(everything not known by conscious subjects) = 0

Mmmmh ... I would say, that with comp, we should have:

sum(everything) = 0
sum(everything known by conscious subjects) = infinity
sum(everything not known by conscious subjects) = ... infinity too !

Well, to be sure, it could depends how the sum is done, ...
The idea is that machine can only nibble the infinite ...: the more
you know the more you are ignorant (which answers also another post).

But also, the more you know, the more you know you are ignorant, so that:
the more you know, the more you are (or should be ?) wise.
