We are not used to thinking of reality as submitting to a "finite accounting system," but Buckminster Fuller was convinced it does.
Fuller would philosophize:
"You cannot have a fraction of an energy event."
"Nature does not use Pi."
He understood the importance of having an accounting system that mapped to reality.
Without a true accounting system, we would be lost and misguided.
I can't help but look around and see that he was right.
