It’s a lazy evening, may be because tomorrow I have a holiday! I hate holidays now, the day I have realized myself to be an engineer. Being an engineer, I am proud of two things, first that I am not a mathematician; secondly I am not a statistician. Honestly, I could never relate mathematics to my physical world, maybe I could never understand if you multiply 2 footballs by 3, you get 6 balls! I mean, how balls can multiply themselves. One should argue that we actually add 2 balls thrice. This is where our mathematics supersedes our logical ability. How much are 2 or why 2 is two; because we can count things or because mathematics tells us? I feel mathematics only tells us counting, and statistics tells us counting physical object n times but never tells us the actual meaning of thing that is being counted, that’s where we engineers work, somewhere between mathematics and the object in question. But I still feel, what is the significance of things which we can’t count or maybe we are unsure of.
We call those things relations. Are we certain about things that we relate but cannot compute? Let’s say, we are related to our dreams or related to our motivations, our feelings, our apprehensions or our mental coordination with the physical world. Our mathematics has no role in the way things are related to us or any kinds of possible connectivity. This is out of scope for mathematics, engineering or statisticians. Psychologists may help us in telling the possibilities of brain thought process and its relation with environment. We like certain things and dislike few things. We find some things closely related to ourselves which few things are randomly kept in our way. Certain things annoy us, but mostly things excite me.
I can say, at the given time frame (if we freeze time for a moment), we have n-numbers of possibilities to deal with things in surroundings. I can move right or left or I can eat apple or peach or I can move right with eating apple. The probability of selecting certain things or optimum things required out of us is less. But if you believe in probability is less, thank you! Because that’s what probability means believing in existence of other outcomes and not in the chance of occurrence of something. This is a recent experience which I had come across.
Take a second case, when we don’t have time in the place. But how come, we don’t have time in existence? I just supposed for a while, that I am working in a company and I don’t know what the time now is. I am working in a closed space which has constant environment even in day or in night. Now, we can’t relate things with time, how do we know, if its lunch time? So, in that case, we relate ourselves to position when we are hungry. May be this time is before or after actual lunchtime or at the same time, but our main concern is, shifting of relations. We can shift the correlativity or, in other words, can cheat ourselves unknowingly. Now when the n-dimension affects us, we can change some factors of n-dimension to get the maximum output from us or optimum in some cases. An employee can work faster when he is given a work without a deadline (so that he removes a pillar of n-dimensions and replace it by objective. If he works with deadline and a time frame, his objective function will be now work + time this can overload on same n pillar which make him stressful. So, a smart manager should give freedom to employees, suitable environment in which he can correlate and no deadlines!
While thinking about this, I wanted to know how our body growth responds when we are kept in a place which are same at all the time, our brain doesn’t know of the change happening in time, as if time remains same. I agree that the average time period of cells death and formation remains same, but I feel the growth of our body is someway related to our mental strength unknowingly. I could not found any impressive documented paper on this. Anyway, it was just a thought. Thanks for reading till the last.
