this is wrong. differential equations is what we must *settle for* when finding the generators of the data is intractable. if u knew Nature herself, u wudn't be restricted to computing her step-by-step w infinitesimal step-sizes, u cud j interpolate btn arbitrary points w no loss in accuracy.

the Nature function herself takes arbitrary coordinates in spacetime, and returns exact distributions of matter within those bounds.

"Nature speaks differential equations" pfff!! differential equations are like gobbledygook to her, and she takes offense at the notion that this is *what she's made of*.
