Clinical psychologist in Vienna, Austria. Started working with computers as a student in 1969. Freelance social statistics, data management, numeric analysis since then. The background as a non-mathematician brings forth a challenge to express myself in such a fashion that can be understood. If the communication is strenuous, my lack of your language can play a part.
A conceptual challenge appears, that in our profession conflicts are a matter of common sense and a conditio sine qua non. The background to that what is communicated "officially" is at least as relevant as the apparent contents of the communication. We very much live in the trade of conflict appeasement, management, resolving. The idea of logically contradicting, equally legitimate, evaluations is - as I understand - rather alien to mathematics. There is emphatically no such thing as a "hidden", "inofficial" reading to an expression, and generally something is either completely right or completely wrong, with all of its implications.
On this point one may suggest a numeric entertaintment, which could interest professionals. One stumbles across sequencing and resequencing databases for reasons most diverse, but the inner beauty of the recno() function is seldom appreciated. The world this person offers to mathematicians is highly entertaining, as a combination of Rubik's cube and the mother of all sudokus.
The data set being reordered is in a collection of conflicts. Conflict resolution is done by acts of reconciliation. Once one has accepted the algorithmic idea of conflict resolution happening in several distinguishable steps, one will imagine the transient state of the collection: because hardly ever anything is lined up exactly along one ordering aspect, usually it is a compromise of competing concepts of what is in order and what deviates from the right order.
The method of conflict resolution is hard-wired into the natural numbers. If we switch from seeing Nature as obeying one set of ordering principles into visualising it obeying two sets of ordering principles, then we will find the natural numbers supporting our endeavours in this direction of thinking. This person has found that natural numbers show an interesting pattern if used for demonstrating concepts of conflict resolution. The findings of this psychologist appear to merit the attention of professional mathematicians, to whom the findings are herewith respectfully presented.
