You know where I am coming from? Where I am coming from?

Also, I don't feel myself into a corner but the mathematical questions I
raise seems hard to my poor brain );

Yeah. Let us try trusting the ideas. We can always put them
in a trash later!

A Mystery between Twoness and Fourness which can be apparently
instanciated in many histories, and handled in many ways
by many sort of UMs. (Universal Machines).

Here I disagree because "just comp" entails the reversal so that it
is not really a matter of choice "once comp". (Cf UDA, ...).

I guess I am only a naive optimist platonist, but I would like to bet
that all polite extraterrestrial use bivalent logic in their scientific
communication.

What definitely convinces me of the interest and importance of
NON classical logics has been most of the time by the richness of their
classical models. (I hope (extra)terrestrials does not apply classical
logic in their private life!).

Our maps defined accessible orthogonal realities.

It is because we are limited that we can go through the key hole
and contemplate or bet on greater part of the unnameable spectacle.

The sound universal machine does not always say true or false
but sometimes remains silent. (cf Turing, Post, Godel, ...)
