Machine/addition/calculator/Genz: the functioning of a machine that adds only positive integers cannot be described by the calculation rules, but is ultimately based on the behavior of particles inside that behave quantum-mechanically. Their behaviour cannot be recorded by the calculation rules.
>Quantum mechanics, cf. >Rules, >Rule following, >Facts.
Quantum mechanics/calculation/Genz: quantum electrodynamics stands for the calculation possibilities that the universe must have in order to enable simple computation.
>Natural laws.
Analogy/Genz: it could be that highly complicated laws of nature have a surface that corresponds to the keys of the simple calculator. Then it would be impossible to formulate their underlying mathematics.
Analogy/Genz: the mathematics of the real laws of nature is also not already identical to the mathematics accessible to us for logical reasons.
Natural Laws/Genz: it is therefore possible that the laws of nature may have a greater effect than is accessible to us.
Logic/Genz: logic is among other things also a consequence of the laws of nature. It is limited by physics.
>Logic, >Logical possibility, >Metaphysical possibility.
