formalism is subject to the fallacy of equivocation and bandwagon. There is no universerally agreed upon standard for mathematics.
Not quite. Programming languages interpret themselves. They are deterministic and so nobody has to 'agree' on anything. it means what it means. There is no ambiguity, only incompleteness. Or a bug.
And so it means exactly what the programmer intended it to mean. If it is 'wrong'. It's because the programmer didn't know any better.
How the programmer gets the feedback (new knowledge) that the algorithm is 'wrong' is a long discussion about the mechanisms of falsification...

statement of probability as this measurement is subject to the tools of the experiment. Planks constant is a reflection of technological change at minimum.
OK. We could get it more precise; OR we could define it as a statistical distribution with positive kurtosis/lower variance. That's how I think about all scientific output. Models with ever-narrower margin of error e.g lower variance.

Entropy cancels itself out as well.
Phenomenologically and epistemologically speaking entropy is identical to uncertainty. The moment you can differentiate two phenomena cancelling each other out (e.g make ANY empirical distinction) it stops being entropy/uncertainty.

At the end of the day it breaks down to continuums where the tools form the results but the tools do not allow for perfect definitions along a long enough timeline.
Naturally. Those are our epistemic limits imposed by our current (mis)understanding of physics. Our knowledge is incomplete.
I used to say that it will always be incomplete, but I am doubting this belief for a few months now.

Since our universe has not yet collapsed into a black hole, then it is actually possible to compress it. So it has a pragmatic Kolmogorov complexity?
