Ok, demanding understanding be found through symbolic
logic.
Better?

Sure, great.

Logic is a powerful tool for analysis. Some use it
intuitively, you people seem to have mastered
formalized, symbolic logic. That's great.
My point has to do with the way you folks seem to be
trying to understand *everything*. Logic will always
play a powerful role in understanding and analysis.
I am basically trying to say, there are ways of seeing
and understanding that transcend sequential thinking.
Maticulously wondering a search space, with logic or
any other method, only reveals what's in that space.
It does not help one see outside of the space.
I'd love to be expert enough in logic and mathmatics
to demonstrate all the brick-walls I see intuitively,
unfortunately, I am not now, or likely to be good
enough in formalized systems of logic to do so.
I was hoping to call attention to other facilities we
all posses to expand understanding in areas that seem
to defy understanding.
