Computing Note

21122002 not mine but quotation

Yet, in principle, computers cannot be asked to discover proofs, except in very restricted areas of mathematics–such as elementary Euclidean geometry–where the set of theorems happens to be recursive, as was proved by Tarski.

… the prime number theorem was first suggested as the result of extensive hand calculations on the prime numbers up to 3,000,000 by the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-83), a process that would have been greatly facilitated by the availability of a modern computer.

Thus Godel was able to assert that the set of theorems of mathematics is recursively enumerable, and, more recently, the American linguist Noam Chomsky (b. 1928) could say that the set of grammatical sentences of a natural language, such as English, is recursively enumerable.

Godel’s incompleteness theorem is that the consistency of mathematics can be proved only in a language which is stronger than the language of mathematics itself. Yet, formalism is not dead- …

Encyclopædia Britannica

The preceding illustrates, simply but clearly, one of the proclivities that are often associated with mathematical thought: relatively simple concepts (such as integers), initially based on very concrete operations (for example, counting), are found to be capable of assuming novel meanings and potential uses, extending far beyond the limits of the concept as originally defined.

You can still set rules. “All first-party Microsoft software will take 5 clicks to install. More than 5 and you need a sign-off from a VP.” Palm had a rule that it should take 3 taps to get anywhere on the system. They had a guy whose full-time job was to count taps for various actions.
