what is the math formula for your endocrine system?
there are many unsolved math problems; that doesn't mean a solution doesn't exist
however you can't objectively quantify a thing that is by definition a subjective experience, i.e. consciousness. can the endocrine system feasibly eventually be described by maths alone? i tend to believe so. not so much with predicting someone's favorite flavor of ice cream, or favorite music, or favorite hobby, or anything else involving feelings and emotions
I mean, WE can’t, not yet at least.
