The one statement that stands out from Novum Organum goes as so, and it seems to speak for the entire point of all we have been assigned to read thus far: "But these two rules,
the practical and theoretical, are in fact the same, and that which is most useful in
practice is most correct in theory."

Based on personal interpretation, this statement epitomizes the primary objective of the scientific method. Namely, if a certain experiment, or set of experiments, yields the same results with no deviation (or next to no deviation) in terms of reaction time, measurements, end-products, etc., then such occurrences demonstrated experimentally, firmly show that translating such an experiment in a non-controlled, natural manner, will lead to the same results. Therefore, even though such "firm showing" may not exactly fall along the lines of exact and axiomatic geometric or mathematical proofs associated with pure entities that transcend and model physical/mechanical/biochemical actions (viz., numerical calculations and geometrically perfect structures), it would be absurd to act in such a way that attempts to defy such occurrences, especially when acting ignorantly like so could result in serious injury, death, or a severe setback/unpleasantness of some sort that could have been easily avoidable to a supreme degree by respecting results that have not been necessarily proved beyond objection, but demonstrated with extreme clarity by virtue of the empirical element of observation and tangibility that makes such demonstration(s) viable.

However, that is not to say that all observations and occurrences in nature are immutable and not subject to being proved wrong at some point...some current and long-standing beliefs that we take for granted might indeed turn out to not be entirely correct some day. Until that day though, abiding by the results of such rigorously repeated and meticulously carried out empirical experiments and research could truly mean the difference between life and death, progress or severe setbacks, joy and misery, etc.

On the other hand,and this is strictly this blogger's interpretation, the one exception to the potential mutability of all activities in the natural world (viz., actions/reactions that the scientific community accepts as certain truth), is the realm of mathematics, with geometry and formal logic included in the overarching category of Mathematics.

That is enough for now, but complete elaboration on the above paragraph is imminent.


Also, for the most part, this blogger's reaction to the Organum has been like so:
