Formal Systems IRL
Meat
I have been reading Gödel Escher Bach these past few weeks..(peaks at post date).. and it has shed light on the formal systems that exist among academia. I believe the point he is making is much broader in comparison to what i will discsus here, but for my own competence, i decieded to explore the formal systems i find myself in on a daily or weekly basis. In doing so i intend to utilize this perspective in these same places to increase my awareness generally. Wether this ever comes back to benefit me, we may never know. Let's begin.
The first formal system i will start with is the one i spend most of my time in. That is my home. I live in a comfortable high-cieling sun-saturated and minimalistic and clean environment. Aside from my high-standard for condos, i decieded that this place would house me. Let's set some formal system standards that a home should reflect. the first, cleanliness. The second, ergonomical. And third, supportive of activities outside the home. I believe there are other lower-order standards that are qualitatively linked to these, (like sleep, food, and shelter from rainy days) but for now i want to dive into this environment, and the system which it embodies by nature of my being. Expectations for this system include but are not limited to; Sleep, bathing, shaving, cooking, decisivness, comfortability, excess labor. The system standards and expectations in this environment are different since it's my domain. Therefore the way i operate in this environment will follow a different set of rules, because it is where i go to do all things, or no-thing–ultimate liberty baby. It's the state of nature here.
