it's why physical reality seems to be inherently 'Mathematical'

look and see, this's exactly what's in numerical implementations of the
Calculus. when the 'slices' into which the problem-stuff is divided are
relatively-large, the technique yields commensurately-inaccurate results.
there's 'waste' in-there. but as the 'slices' of the problem-stuff become
smaller and smaller, the 'waste' becomes commensurately-smaller, and the
solution approaches exactness more and more.

this's 'just' a 'climbing' of the WDB2T gradient toward 'zero-waste'; toward
exactness.

it's be-cause of this 'co-incidence' with WDB2T that the Calculus works so
well with respect to physical reality. [of course, "garbage in, garbage out"
applies. the data that're operated-upon within the Calculus must, itself,
accurately reflect physical reality. this's the 'point' at which traditional
applications of the Calculus have broken-down... erroneous assumptions force
the data to diverge from WDB2T, so the Calculus cannot co-incide with WDB2T,
and yield, commensurately-inaccurate 'results'.

and mis-takes in 'organizing' data operated-upon via this or that Maths can
be Recognized in their correlated divergence from WDB2T.

which is what Information Calculus [AoK, Ap6] does [or, at least, =can= do.
whether or not it does depends upon the scope of the data operated upon
within the Information Calculus technique. [i. e., artificially-delimited
data [from within artificially-'narrow' 'boundaries'] yield divergent
'solutions.], which is what's discussed in AoK, Ap7. raising the "volitional
diminishing-returns decision" threshold corresponds to a 'broadening' of the
data that're operated-upon via Information Calculus. [all of AoK can be read
as a strictly-Maths paper [in a way analogous to this example]].
