Visions of Applicability
The range of applications envisioned by Musès of his hypernumber concept is grandiose: A full and complete understanding of all laws of physics (in particular quantum mechanics), a description of consciousness in terms of physical formulations, spiritual growth, religious enlightenment, the solution of well-known mathematical problems (including the Riemann hypothesis), and the exploration of para-psychological phenomena (e.g.). But none of his visions has been realized. Many of Musès' own writings combine mathematical content with one or more of these speculative projects,. The secondary literature on Musès devotes itself more to his speculative thought than to his mathematics.

Famous quotes containing the words visions of and/or visions:
“...I remembered the rose bush that had reached a thorny branch out through the ragged fence, and caught my dress, detaining me when I would have passed on. And again the symbolism of it all came over me. These memories and visions of the poor—they were the clutch of the thorns. Social workers have all felt it. It holds them to their work, because the thorns curve backward, and one cannot pull away.”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)
“Our visions begin with our desires.”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
