 Regarding the issue of what limitations circumscribe
 the capabilities of that which humans can create:
 Given that human intellect encounters problems and
 paradoxes when attempting to systematize its thoughts,
 can we say that every artefact created by humans must
 be constrained by the same cognitive limits?  
 ( I konow that the purists hold to the notion of
 a universe in which pure mathematical truth is
 everywhere and always immanent, but it does not
 seem to me altogether impossible, that for some
 other minds, the foundations of mathematics may
 hold either no paradoxes at all, or paradoxes entirely
 different from those which humans encounter)
