More on Minimalism

-- “More on minimalism??!!!  Isn’t that a contradiction in terms ???????”

(ahem)

Do I contradict myself?

Very well then,  I contradict myself.

The post below is essentially a jest -- a poetic exercise, like a haiku; 

glancing sidewise at these --

            =>  a poem without a title

            =>  a poem without words

But a serious project lies behind it.  One I am not yet ready to grapple with,

for it does go deep.

Just some hints and crumbs, to follow  whithersoever they may lead:

Reductionism:  the one-word summary of the scientific enterprise überhaupt.

Minimalism:  Principally, historically, a term about the arts;  but adopted (wisely, slyly) by Noam Chomsky, for his later program.

Platonism: a spare roster of Forms, from which mere mortals and materials are the fallout.

Euhemerism:  explaining myths (and miracles) away.

Occam’s razor:  Bold blade, slice wisely -- for indeed, our fallen world does need a shave !

Related matters:

  Axiomatics.  The logicist program.

  Isomorphism;  homeomorphism.

  The Decalogue;  the Credo; the Lord’s Prayer.

  The Constitution.

--- !!!   I have just conceived a remarkable proof and elucidation of the whole shebang!

But alas  the 140-character limit of Twitter  does not permit its exposition …
