Nope you've got it right, its kind of the next step onwards from that. It is however not fundamentally different to any kind of philosophical analysis based on a limited semiotic (the semiotic system in this case being mathematics). However, the way its being used is not limited enough, hence the massive differences in possible theoretical outcomes. Soooo... its no different, and no more scientific in a proper sense than say.. comparative theology in method. It is *gasp* subjective, but an awfully clever mathematically obfuscated subjectivity.

What I'm trying to say is, no fucker knows, but a lot of people are trying to know, don't hate the players, hate the game.
