There is an adventurous soul at Carnegie-Mellon who is attempting to discover a so-called process of scientific thinking. This is a lovely example of upside down backward thinking. He provides a computer the same conceptual data that the astronomer Kepler ostensibly had when he formulated the third law of planetary motion. When the computer arrives at Kepler’s conclusions, he proclaims that it has discovered something.

Nonsense! If you feed the same computer the ingredients of a jar of Chef Boyardee it will discover spaghetti sauce. The fundamental flaw in this adventure in fractured reasoning is the notion that any real or whole thing or idea, expressed objectively, is the sum of the parts that in retrospect have given it its' apparent reality. All real, so-called, scientific discoveries are actually creations. They are dramatic demonstrations of the innate capability of mind to assemble previously dissociated conceptions into a whole new and inevitably more unified relationship. It is not only new, but it changes the concepts of its parts as well. The discoverer is expressing a manner of whole mind thinking or recognizing that, in time, invariably leads to an exposé of a totally presumptive à priori singularity of consciousness.
