10 Of Theory and Experiments
摘要
Your squiggle sense is grounded in the science of Coordination Dynamics (CD). What this means is that both your squiggle sense and the coordinated dances of the squiggles it senses can be understood and explained by CD in two main ways: (1) as phenomena of CD, that is, as observable facts and measurements about objects and events discovered or obtained by experiments; and (2) as noumena of CD, that is, as posited conceptual elements or principles of theory, which are most effective when expressed in the language of mathematics. Your engaged squiggle sense should be blinking now, as you ponder the complementary nature of phenomena~noumena, theory~experiments, concepts~observables, ideas~applications… What other squiggles come to mind right now? Make an experiment of your own!
