Hi
Obviously what has been created in mathematics is static
whilst what is in the process of being created has a dynamic aspect.
Also, what mathematics can handle has to be static to be described
mathematically, i.e. inverse square law is a pattern or static as we say in
these parts.
regards

Hi
I did pick up the irony but wanted you to expand upon it.
I did say static qualities (repeating) dominates mathematics
where as DQ implies contingency/chaos/opennes or creativity,
obviously some maths is looking at chaotic systems.
o.k.
This is interesting to me. When you say mathematics do you mean the body of research and literature, or the active process of doing math? Also, why do you use the term "maths".
bulldoze me with your acumen
