[edit] NPOV

This article has a clear POV in favour of its subject. Wording like "frank admission" is hugely POV (who's saying this?). It needs to be rewritten in a more NPOV style, with more citing of sources. -- Anon.

~~I disagree with your example. The admission is that of the author of the sentence quoted immediately previously. It is a point of view but its attribution is clear. -- Also Anon

[edit] Related work

Earlier, I added in pointers to Chaitin, Wolfram, and Entscheidungsproblem as being apropos to this discussion.

Slogan 1: 'truth' is not known at the limits of abstraction; rather, 'truth' is found in reality. Thanks to Joel Orr.
Slogan 2: Why differentiate when you can integrate? JMS jmswtlk 16:25, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

I just added a pointer to Interactive computation. See ACM Communications, July 2006, "Principles of Problem Solving" Peter Wegner and Dina Goldin.jmswtlk 14:35, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

Started to add these. I'm new at doing these, so if someone wants to help, please do. jmswtlk 19:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

JA: Let me just recommend doing this in the ordinary way that it's done in the outside world, as it's a lot less headache, and eyestrain, in the long run. Jon Awbrey 19:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citations

Please point me to an example. The article has 6 that need to be resolved. jmswtlk 17:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beyond the traditional schools

This article ought to agree with the sub-section of Philosophy of mathematics / Quasi-empiricism. In other words, neither the context nor the content of this article connote a fringe element, necessarily. jmswtlk 12:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
