In those sciences that use mathematics, progress on the
theoretical side is made by applying that wonderful collection
of tools given to us by the queen of sciences, a term which
you, Queene, may relate to. {8-]
Psychology, for instance: I am pretty convinced we will not
make great strides in the understanding of the human mind
without some way to measure what we are observing. We
need to create a map of some kind, on which to build and
test theory. Otherwise its all just talk, wearysome talk at that.
