From: "Noam Chomsky" • IME To: "Jeffrey E." <[email protected]> Subject: FW: gromov Sent: Wednesday, June 10, 2015 5:09:39 PM Message is clear, as I think is its significance. It makes sense to formulate meaningful scientific ideas within Gromov's language if by doing so general results obtained within his system have some consequences for the ideas in question. Otherwise not. Rather like category theory in this respect. It's rarely done by scientists, or by mathematicians for that matter, because the condition is so difficult to satisfy. If it is satisfied, everyone applauds. In the language case there isn't even a hint as to how formulation in these terms would achieve more than obfuscation. From: jeffrey E.

Any meaningful idea coming from science can be fully developed in this language. EFTA_R1_00037341 EFTA01744884
