i suppose that the point that i'm trying to make is that mathematical thought necessarily transcends any particular medium for its expression, and need not conform to the limitations of any particular medium for it to be valid and worthwhile. a diverse proliferation of tools of thought therefore seems vastly preferable to the evolution of a consensus in which one way is thought of as being "the right way"

@mra One real constraint is that time is linear and our brains accumulate tokens linearly, even when they might be exploring a complex network and revisiting material repeatedly.

@mra Diversity is always a good thing. It may be that there is no "right way" but that there are always different ways to do things. It is as true in physics as in mathematics.
