Literature is just applied speculative chemistry, so it's already scientific.

Actual computer science is very much /lit/, it's only in recent times it's become commonplace to conflate computer science and computer engineering.

Metaphorology

Is this real?

Metaphysics.
If you can understand metaphysics, you’re already above most people on /lit/

Actually yes. My friend took a philosophy course based on a book about metaphorology. Seems interesting.

Reflexology. Many great writers had foot fetishes. Theres nothing more beautiful in life than pleasing a cute girl or guy by touching their feets.

computer science is a mathematics over a subset of problems, such as decision problems, combinatorics, algorithm proofs, etc.
P=NP is a question of humanism, namely, which efforts in problem solving are futile and which are efficient?
our understanding of mechanical computation as formalized by turing and church, along with Gödel’s discoveries in mathematical logic (to an extent, formal language theory) have raised the most profound questions of the 20th century, namely, what is reason, what are the limits of reason, what is it to think, and what is it that makes us human? (crossover to chomsky here, etc)

It's gotta be physics. Math is /lit/ in that it's full of pretentious people who self congratulate themselves on knowledge that isn't popular to seek out. If we are talking about beauty that is agreed upon by most of humanity, then physics fits the bill because of, well, "poetry in motion".

>>13356696

nothing is as pure and beautiful as mathematics

>>13356694
Weak. Anyways, thanks for keeping my thread alive by repeatedly bumping it. Oh, and remember, any reply you give me enables me to bump it again myself!

>>13356717
t. the anon you're replying to
I'm interested in why you think that. The word 'pure' to me doesn't necessarily imply beauty, and a lot of literature is 'impure' and beautiful at the same time. 'Beauty' to me is a measure of the ability to strike a human in a way that causes them to pause. Within that framework, I just can't see how Mathematics has a one-up on Physics, even if Physics uses Mathematics to predict happenings. To me, Mathematics is just too far removed from everyday experience to be called universally 'beautiful'.

Pure mathematics

>>13356673

>>13356928
you fucking retard, I gave you my thoughts on this exact idea and you just drop a link like that, referencing what I'm using in my explanation. You just added a footnote to what I said about mathematical beauty. What the fuck even is /lit/ at this point? You're un-nuanced as a thinker and you're never going to generate even a single unique idea that could have any positive effect within yourself, leave alone others.

>>13356974
I'm the person you were replying to before and not the one who posted that link. Unfortunately, what you've said about me is still true.

>>13356974
Theres no need to be upset, anon. I read what you posted and remembered the article, thought it was a good read for anyone interested in the discussion.

>Mathematics is just too far removed from everyday experience to be called universally 'beautiful'.
That's such an Algebraist thing to say, pretty much the entire foundations of Analysis are inspired by everyday experiences.

>>13346723
To me literature is the communication of the authentic.
If it does not engage the real community of people then it isn't literature.
As such I'd have to put civil engineering as the most lit science.

Biology is pure surrealism

Also Rabelais.

>>13346895
Theoretical computer science is pretty much a branch of pure mathematics.
>No good philosopher ever bothered with the technical aspscts of a machine
Who is Pascal?

>>13356696
Except that poetry is written in mathematics (and the physical reality is often much uglier and more irregular than the mathematics describing them, amusingly).

Remember that Feynman himself pointed out that if you get into physics for the aesthetics you're a brainlet. Physics is about working descriptions of reality, beauty is very secondary there, while it is central in mathematics.

>>13356741
Mathematics isn't really more removed from everyday experience than physics. Most of the physical theories that get people wet (relativity, quantum mechanics, to a lesser extent event chaos theory) only applies in extreme conditions you scarcely witness in daily life. While there is profond mathematics in addition. Heck there are even pre-mathematical intuition in apes and some birds.

You could also say things like atomic chemistry explain the workings of daily life phenomena, but thena gain this also applies, to an even greater extent to a good deal of mathematics discovered before the nineteenth century.

Ultimately the border between those two if very badly guarded, if at all.

>>13360220
when you take smaller and smaller parts out of the context of the whole and give them ridiculous names it can get pretty whacky

it’s electrical engineering

Anticipatory systems theory

Computer science is one of the most philosophically relevant fields. Tons of early computer scientists were also both pure mathematicians and philosophers.
