They don't KNOW. They suspect. Like you suspect the law of
non-contradiction is absolutely, always, in all cases, true.

They can't prove it, or disprove it. They REGARD IT as true. The way you
regard the law of non-contradiction as true.

As formed, no it isn't a Taylor series, exactly. But this particular
system of recurrence relations has all the essential properties, which is
precisely why it forms the basic result. The result of the relations forms
a polynomial by the process of additions and multiplications, essentially,
and if you scaled it appropriately to actually be cos(x) it would be the
Taylor polynomial for cos(x).

Mmm, ok I see what you're getting at. Yes I suppose we can consider
recurrence as feedback. I should have been more specific: uncontrolled
feedback. Precise control of feedback can produce oscillation like this,
but what I was trying get at was the results of unbounded positive
feedback.

Curves like this are not more "complex" than lines. A line is a polynomial.
Curves like this are just longer polynomials. Lines are differential
everywhere. This curve is differential everywhere.

They are more complex only in the sense that they are longer, and take
more time to compute. But if you can compute a polynomial, you can compute
a line. If you can compute a polynomial, you can compute a curve.

Why shouldn't it? Even looking at your example, your curve provides
periodic behavior that addition and multiplication and line segments don't
have.

These emails are getting long enough as is, I don't feel the need to
respond to every single point, especially when you to make not-so-veiled,
insulting insinuations.

That is no proof. What you call nonsense may just be counter-intuitive, or
unexpected results. Lots of physicists in the early 1900s thought quantum
mechanics couldn't be true, because they dismissed it on its face because
it seemed like nonsense.

There is no particular reason to believe that the universe will adhere to
principles the human mind cooks up.

So, try again. Prove it.

It was never self-evidently true. And again, axioms are REGARDED AS
self-evidently true. A red-green color blind person looks at reddish
leaves in the autumn and green grass and says IT IS SELF-EVIDENT they are
the same color. And they are, according to the apprehension of color blind
people. They are not the same to those that see differently.

Seeming to be, on the surface, according to human senses or the human mind
doesn't mean IS. The fact that something is obvious and self-evident to
YOU, or even the MAJORITY of people, doesn't make it TRUE.

Only according to your opinion, and the opinion of the majority.
