[FRIAM] convergence

[Jon Zingale]

A series and a rearrangement of the same:

A) 1 - 1/2 +1/3 -1/4 + ...
limiting its way to the natural log of 2

B) 1 + 1/3 - 1/2 +1/5 + 1/7 - 1/4 ...
limiting its way to 3/2 times the natural log of 2

Let's call the object that exists in the limit of statistical practice the
state-of-affairs. If the process by which the object of scientific inquiry
gives up its properties is absolutely convergent then maybe it is *fine* to
allow statistics to tightly govern policy creation.

But what an assumption! The sum above being just one of an unfathomable
number of ways that facts of the world can be incorporated to show
conditional convergence.

So Nick, what does your boy Peirce have to say about that?
