Order

Order , order , this has been the catch phrase of judges in bollywood movies and many a sattire. Pondering on order can lead to the murky depths of logic. It has been that I did have to ponder since my seminar is to be on the orderings that allow equations to be solved by computers.

Leaving that aside it did make me think that orders are in fact a basis of our understanding.Orders are everywhere we say up-down , more-less , higher-lower and even good-bad. All these define some kind of order that we choose to belive. The basic order we tend to believe are the existence and non existence. It is generally belived that its better when something is there rather than when it is not there. Another area where orders dominate are counting , this fundamental ordering has an important place in modern life. Life without these would have been impossible to think about.

There are uncountable orders of measurement also , without which we would be very poor without. The process of reasoning about the world , what scientists do today are very strongly based on mathematics which takes order very seriously. Orders seem to be present in all walks of human endeavour.

If we belive that existence and non-existence does in fact constitute an order , we can almost define an order on anything that can be represented - digitally - thats too less to ask for in an order. This blog would have made dozens of comparisons which mean that I'm doing an ordering somewhere.

Orders are present everywhere and only their identification and understanding is required.It would be a rather sweeping statement to make , but seems to be true. Making sense of the percieved order around us is infact knowing the world around us.

Orders orders everywhere,
Above this line
and below the bridge
bigger than that
and smaller than this.
Wherever I look,
Orders orders eveywhere.
