Re: There is no reason whatsoever.......

If one uses "existential indeterminacy", and it it is at least self-
consistent, then there is no reason why one should not use those tools
to make models.


John Ramsden showed you why it can't be self-consistent.

You've got a built-in contradiction to a mathematical
model, in your linguistic oxymoron. Results can be
indeterminate (and often are). Existence, however,
cannot be defined as indeterminate--that leaves you
with no inductive starting place. You are saying,
in effect, that deductive logic is useless for describing
either the natural world or the language (mathematics)
in which the natural world apparently inheres.

In your philosophy, number does not exist, and yet you
want to put number to work in a probabilistic frame.
You can call it a cart, and fill it with all manner of
fanciful things. When you deny it wheels, however, it goes
nowhere.
