Relationship(s) of Quantity to Quality A poem by Zim Olson

Where did Quantity and Quality come from?

Some Cosmic or Existential Sum?

It may sound simply dumb.

But it may have come from a Mathematicians rule of thumb...

Or

A plumb line not very fine, or mine, But Divine.

 

Quantity - Quality => Imposiblé.

Quality - Quantity: They may say, what have you been smoking today!

 

A Mathematicians dream would be to put them together in prose or poetic stream.

Making Apple + Orange,

more than a Homogenous Logic mathematical sum.

For an application not so Hum Drum.

 

If I were a Quantity, what, where, how would I be?

Or if I were Quality, what more meaning could there be?

But if Quantity and/or Quality gives me!

 

Qual(z)- Quan(z) and/or Quan(z) - Qual(z) = > Me.

So you see, I am free to be me and as for Quality and Quantity:

The component of concern,

more than a mathematical term.

Quantity and Quality,

more numeric and/or logical operators.

To systems more complex, than can be put in symbolic text.

No such symbols absolute,

can give an Absolute Truth resolute.

Truth Allusive, by Mathematics made passive.

 

Math.  a Science of Application.

The search for Truth,

a source of sure consternation,

with a possible use for Qualitative and Quantitative non Ordination.
