a paradigmatic mashup—thomas kuhn vs map territory vs set theory
active draft. a technical sketch. general, before special —alignment, before distraction
a reinterpretation of thomas kuhn’s ‘on the structure of scientific revolutions’, through the lens of set-theory(-ish) mathematics
note: consider all set-theory as pseudo-set-theory; a means for a novice mathematician to express ideas in less time and fewer words, than a similarly novice writer might, in prose.
all terms are tentative. corrections $\land \lor$ advice, welcome.
