I am not a scientist or a philosopher. I read a statement some years ago. The statement is : variant is the order of invariants. Till date I am not able to get the meaning of this statement.
I like to hear a satisfactory explanation from the members of this forum.
It depends in which context it is being used, but I’ll try and answer according the definition of variants and invariants.
Variant:= A variable quantity that is random.
Ergo invariant:= A quantity that is not random (or is constant).
Hence the statement then reads, “Variable quantities that are random are the order of quantities which are constant”. (I.e. randomness is a form of order, or randomness is a form of consistency) I would rather put it this way though: Randomness is a form of order. Not that I’m an expert on this phrase, but that’s what the definition of the words seem to imply. I could be wrong though. I wouldn’t stake my life on it that’s all.
