Self-Consistent Operationalism

Leonardo Da Vinci made distinctions in writings between that which is natural and that which is mathematical. He considered the sensory or experience in general as primary in terms of coming to truths about the world.

Where, when he tends to reference the mathematical, he leans to speaking of the nothing, as compared to the something, which, presumably, would comprise the sensory or that given by sensory experience. His mathematics reflected the productions in nature.

His science reflected the direct construction of the experience, where the mathematical and the scientific meet one another is in the mind of Da Vinci. To be born or birthed here is neither science nor mathematics, but a form and relation of general knowledge; something of looking for the self-consistencies in nature and in mind with the mind as part of the whole, as in everything connected as one, including the human being and its mind.

That which is in mind constrained by those limits set forth from experience or if the rules and contents of the in mind are broken in some manner; then, these enter into the realm of the impossible, as the natural becomes constrained by the existent and the mathematical by nothing. Yet, both function by principles.

When looking at self-consistency in nature, this amounts to a search for the logical in nature to an extent; while, in search of the self-consistencies of nature at the same time, we come to search for the processes of nature.
