Oh you seem fun. The vast body of mathematics describes flowers, from growth patterns to genetic structure to the effect it has on human neurology when observing the colorful patterns made by them. However I am curious; please explain what a virtue is!
Do you mean the person who tried to use a cliche’d gotcha as a result of their misunderstanding of what mathematics is? Or me who was unimpressed by the aforementioned cliche’d anti-intellectualism in their comment? Because there is no nuance here that I have missed - they pulled out the deeply tired idea that mathematics, which is a descriptive language, has not yet comprehensively described all of what constitutes a “flower” and thus cannot conceivably do that - which is a patently absurd requirement that belies an utter lack of understanding of the fundemental purpose of mathematics or the function of language in general.
“Oh I see you actually responded to what I was saying - I’m not here for a discussion or to be wrong, I’m just here to be smugly superior, so I’m just going to ignore that” - you, apparently?
If you want to discuss the ideas here feel free, I do enjoy doing that, but jeeze I hope you’re drunk posting because this is deeply embarassing behavior…
edit:
Man, taking the insults and victim blaming to the DMs, you are way too into this.
Edit 2:
I am looking forward to the apology for your behavior.
Edit 3:
Gonna be real there hamdogger, I don’t even know what this is supposed to mean.
Edit 4:
Mmm…hmm.

Yeah…

Nah, man, this was fun but it’s getting boring. Pease puddins’ to you.
The universe is eminently describable with language - thats the whole point of mathematics.
Okay. Describe a flower using mathematics. It better entail every detail of the flower and all of its virtues.

Jokes on you, my mom’s trailer doesn’t even have a basement.
It’s not: see Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems.
I am at a loss as to what they have to do with this, do you mean to say that the universe is not exhaustively describable?
