I didn’t intend it as much of an ad hominem, after all both groups in the comparison are so far quite unprepared for the undertaking they’re trying to do. Just trying to find ways to try to describe the cultural mismatch that seems to be going on here.
I understand that math is starting to have some stuff dealing with how to make good maps from a territory. Only that’s inside the difficult and technical stuff like Jaynes’ Probability Theory or Pearl’s Causality, instead of somebody just making a nice new logical calculus with an operator for doing induction. There’s already some actual philosophically interesting results like an inductive learner needing to have innate biases to be able to learn anything.
