Overview

Delos and Adelos: The Boundary Between Certainty and Uncertainty Delos and Adelos weaves together philosophy, mathematics, and mythological narrative to explore the relationship between common sense, knowledge, and uncertainty. Set in ancient Greece, the story follows Ione, a protagonist embodying phronesis-practical wisdom-on a journey to confront the limits of human reason. Joined by two contrasting figures-an uncle bound to common sense and a young nephew trapped in academic rigidity-Ione uncovers the tension between the known (Delos) and the unknown (Adelos). A New Mathematical Paradigm Beyond the narrative, the book introduces an innovative treatment of empirical numbers, a formal extension of real numbers that integrates exact values (Delos) with an uncertain component (Adelos). This groundbreaking approach provides an unprecedented mathematical and ontological framework to represent quantities with realism, shifting the focus from abstract probability to the propagation of uncertainty. A Journey Through Knowledge and Existence Ione wrestles with universal themes: humanity's desire to reduce Adelos to the symbolic for control, the realization that uncertainty is irreducible-even for God-and the necessity of living in a world without firm foundations. In a poetic and unsettling conclusion, the book suggests that the balance between Delos and Adelos is never perfect. Yet, by embracing the anxiety of uncertainty, we can transcend the limits imposed by Technique and undergo a profound transformation. A Synthesis of Knowledge and Philosophy Delos and Adelos also offers an accessible mathematical exposition that reinterprets complex concepts such as error propagation laws, the Pythagorean theorem, and Riemannian space in a fresh light. Readers are invited to reflect on the mental myopia that restricts their understanding of reality and to adopt an empirical symbology that unifies exactness and variability into a powerful new language. Why Read Delos and Adelos This work bridges theoretical mathematics with philosophical exploration, appealing to readers who seek not only answers but profound questions about the nature of reality and knowledge. With evocative prose and conceptual rigor, Delos and Adelos challenges readers to think beyond the ordinary, leaving them with a radical message: the world was not created for humanity, nor for God, but it can be experienced by embracing its inscrutability.
