I love to hear Knuth explaining stories!

Could a single geometrical process square ψ², t², e², c², v² forming our mathematics?
We need to go back to r² and the three dimensional physics of the Inverse Square Law. Even back to the spherical 4πr² geometry of Huygens’ Principle of 1670. The Universe could be based on simple geometry that forms the potential for evermore complexity. Forming not just physical complexity, but also the potential for evermore-abstract mathematics.

The most unreadable computer science author of all time. If you can make it through his work, you can make it anywhere.

The Scientific Method is characterized by (1) exact constants of nature and (2) empirical verification of these constants. Post-science deals with social and life science involving (1) inexact fuzzy data with range of tolerance and (2) non-empirical verification due to the involvement of infinity, which never arrives for collecting deterministic sets of data. Rational policies and behavior in social science must take into consideration all the expected consequences to infinity. DNA in life science is designed for permanent existence. (1) Fuzzy logic and (2) complete mathematical and logical rigor as the requirement of acceptance of solutions in social and life science are two clear-cut breakthrough post-science concepts against the establishment knowledge dominated by science.
