Mathematica Are cognition levels and mathematical operations linked ?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the subjective versus objective perception of numbers in social interactions. It highlights how the perception of the number of people can differ based on individual cognition levels. In the example provided, when a second person enters a scene, the subjective perception increases the number of interlocutors from one to two, while the objective count remains three, leading to a discrepancy in understanding. The conversation also touches on the operation of addition, where the subjective and objective counts align, suggesting that this discrepancy in perception is primarily tied to cognition levels. The thread invites further exploration of whether similar discrepancies exist in physical systems, indicating a broader philosophical inquiry into reality and perception.

Let consider this small example...I find it interesting, but I think it does not in fact tell anything about reality :

You are in presence of somebody, and another one enters the scene :Operation "times" :

a) subjectively (as seen from you), the number of person is for you : x 2 : 1 interlocutor->2 interlocutors
b) objectively (as seen outside of the 3 actors), the number of people is just : x3/2=x1.5

--->"times" is depending on the cognition level

Operation "plus"

a) subjectively : interolucutors +1
b) objectively : actors +1

----->"plus" does not depend on the cognition level...

Do you find this anyhow interesting ? Is there such a discrepancy for physical system operations...? I couldn't find something like that at first view...

?? of reality ?? You know it's quite cold...

Interesting and way beyond me. Maybe you should explain yourself a little more.
