Abstract
In this chapter, you may find many concepts which you think belong to the two preceding chapters on mathematics. But it is also possible that a computer scientist, when he reads the following sections, will claim that the subjects covered here belong to the area of computer science. Both views have certain justifications. Therefore, I decided to assign my description of the world of formalisms neither to mathematics nor to computer science, but to grant it its own chapter.
