Thinking chords by The Lisps
Verse 1
G
I I view mathematics
not merely as a body of abstract
and immutable truths,
D
but as a world whose beauty
and symmetry
should command the interest of
G
the elders and the youth.
No other language exists
through which we better can express the
facts of the natural world.
D
Because of this I value anything
that translates the numbers
G
into practical and usable forms.

D
But a machine is not a thinking being.
It simply acts according to the
G
laws imposed upon it.
Labor which belongs
to the various branches
of the mathematical sciences
D
Although on first consideration,
maybe it seems to be the province
G
of a human intellect
Mathematical meaning
may be expressed
by the movement of material things
D
Just like the fingers on your hand,
the gears of a machine
G
count the songs the equation sings

Let us imagine a vertical column
made of a hundred metal circular disks
D
All pierced through their center
by an axis
allowing each disk to independently spin
G
If round the edge of every disk is written
the number 0, 1, 2, and up to 9
D
We can arrange the figures vertically,
expressing them in matter
G
just like we can express them in the mind.

Now let us imagine a second
vertical column,
just like the one described before.
D
One could relate them arithmetically,
displaying the solutions on a column
G
number 3 or number 4.
Proceeding infinitum,
duplicating these rigid numerical machines.
D
They could interact in a
way more complex
than any one of us could
G
possibly have dreamed.
