    • Trotsky used the metaphor of elementary and higher mathematics to explain the relationship between formal logic and dialectic logic.
    • Although Google runs on a nutrient medium of von Neumann processors, with multiple layers of formal logic as a base, the higher-level meaning is essentially statistical in character.
