It took him forty years to formulate, but in the 1960s, Richardson finally found a model for this uncertainty; a paradox that neatly summarises the existential problem of computational thinking. While working on the ‘Statistics of Deadly Quarrels’, an early attempt at the scientific analysis of conflict, he set out to find a correlation between the

Official math can be found in textbooks, where it is presented in a logical and structured manner, in an esoteric language that relies on indecipherable symbols. Secret math, also known as mathematical intuition, can be found in the heads of mathematicians. It consists of mental representations and abstract sensations, often visual, that are for th
