Holism, Lapis Mug

Mathematicians have direct, axiomatic access to their objects of study. Empirical and observational scientists make systematic measurements, fit mathematical models to data, and check whether the models predict outcomes of new experiments. Typically, the structure of reality emerges like a half-tone photograph from its constituent dots, or a raised ring from a sequence of zags of curves lying in parallel planes.

Printed on a sturdy cylindrical 12 oz. (350 mL) white ceramic mug with handle. Microwave and dishwasher safe.
