The tool is LOGIC. Or better LOGICS. You can see the field of logic as
the field of the possible way to reason. I certainly do consider that
as a way to go beyond our human limitation. Of course I need to
postulate that a "truth" like "17 is a prime number" is universal,
absolute and independent of the human way of thinking. By 17 I mean, of
course, the number of stroke in "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" or anything
equivalent.
Best,
Bruno
