Abstract

Mathematics could be seen as a “simple” mind game hardly more useful in everyday life than the chess. But their “formidable efficiency” as the language with which are written the laws of Nature could be an evidence they are the Reality. Thus, Mathematics would contain all works of art past, present and future, but also their creators.

Fußnoten
1
The theorem itself (i.e., that the Diophantine equation Xn + Yn = Zn has no solution for n > 2) has virtually no application, unlike some tools used for his demonstration; for example new methods of encryption using elliptic curves have emerged.
 
2
In both cases, the mathematician is often (always?) doing Physics without knowing it.
 
3
Matching could then be that the cortical structures of the senses (especially the sight) and of the “creation” are of the same nature and communicate with each other.
 
4
As JPEG allows the compression of pictures.
 
5
Respectively subjective and objective.
 
6
But for how long?
 
7
We will ignore here all that happened before the Second World War. Therefore it will be made no allusion to the golden ratio or again to the perspective.
 
8
What would everyday life be without the Internet?
 
9
It was based on a T1600 Telemecanique computer with a memory of only 32 kilobytes while occupying several cubic meters!
 
10
Colonna J.F. (09/1987) La Recherche, Paris.
 
11
For example, some features of a program can inspire an artist, allowing him something he would not have imagined without this intellectual prosthesis. Must the authors of these tools share the authorship of the work of art? This is the answer to this question that has frustrated most of my collaborations with traditional artists.
 
12
Or on any media: paper or other.
 
13
This question relates both to coding standards (like JPEG) as well as to media-recording devices such as DVD. To ignore it or to do nothing, implies the disappearance over time of an important part of our artistic and scientific heritage!
 
14
There are ways of protection, such as watermarking, but I’m not convinced of their effectiveness and especially their neutrality towards the work of art.
 
15
This design would certainly have pleased Jorge Luis Borges. He could make a sequel to his Library of Babel.
