Ravi, (01)
I think you are saying our minds, exemplified by mathematics, are not
limited by the physical world. That may be, but mathematics has its
own limitations, and they bear an interesting relationship to
limitations in general cognition, physical laws etc. (02)
Have you read anything of Chaitin's Omega? (03)
