But especially the counter-time,counter-sense creation. Also, to experiment."

Applications of Paradoxism in Science (information fusion, cybernetics, robotics, airspace, medicine, military, logics, set theory, probability and statistics, geometry, multispace and multistructure theory, transdisciplinarity, physics) at NASA, NATO, University of Berkeley, etc., also in Philosophy, Linguistics, Arts…

This is a collection of linguistic-mathematical approaches to Romanian rebus, poetical and juridical texts, and proposes fancies, recreational math problems, and paradoxes. We study the frequencies of letters, syllables, vowels in various poetry, grill definitions in rebus, and rebus rules. We also compare the scientific language, lyrical language, and puzzles’ language, and compute the Shannon entropy and Onicescu informational energy.

Articles, notes, generalizations, paradoxes, miscellaneous in mathematics, linguistics, and education.
