@MartinEscardo@mathstodon.xyz I get this distinction and am sympathetic to it. I'm not sure I like the termiology. I hope you will see why "genetic" is a little too close to "biological" for me to feel comfortable.
We "discover" things by inventing them. We invent lots of things. Most of them are shit. Those which are not we "discover".

@pigworker@types.pl I didn't mean genetic in the sense of DNA or evolution, but rather in the sense of generating/producing things. If you have a better word, I will be happy to adopt it. The idea is that we produce ideas before we can work out their logic, which we dutifully do, in any case, eventually.
