Why not talk about math, Zhihu?
I once saw a question on the Internet: Why do some papers and textbooks have to be so silent? We must call the model a paradigm, the reason a motivation, and the criticism a deconstruction? I had these questions at first. But later, with the increase of knowledge, the local rationality of this phenomenon was gradually discovered. Next, I will say it for you.

First, we need to solve some problems, and then analyze them.

Question 1: If I say I like the monitor of our class (there are two monitors in our class, and the first one has been fired), how can the listener determine which monitor I like?

Solution: Add the qualifier "second"

Question 2: What should we do if we want to express one of our research results so that readers can understand our meaning accurately?

Solution: Both readers and writers strictly limit the concept of natural vocabulary grammar to ensure that no sentence has two meanings in the eyes of both sides.

Question 3: I want to describe my new understanding of a thing, but I can't find a word to describe it accurately in the dictionary. What should I do?

Solution: Create a new word yourself.

Question 4: Natural language can only describe what we can experience and feel. What if you need long-distance deductive reasoning to understand something you can't experience (such as four-dimensional space)?

Solution: Introduce mathematics to make things in nature correspond to digital symbols. By studying them, we can ensure that long-range reasoning is deductive.

Question 5: There are always people who say that my articles don't talk about people. The mode must be called paradigm, the reason must be called motivation, and criticism must be called deconstruction. I'm sorry to say that I wrote the article to pretend to be forced. What should I do?

Solution: Nothing, amateurs just don't understand our professional slang. Amateurs come to see the professional books written by our experts, and they are not fully prepared in advance. Who is to blame?

Analysis: Natural language is ambiguous, while academic research is extremely rigorous. Therefore, professional books can't be written like everyday vernacular. The vocabulary or grammar of natural language may be given a unique and limited meaning different from everyday language in a professional field. Even some new words will appear in some professional fields, such as classes, objects and methods in JAVA, because there are no good words to express in natural language, and people can only create one. It is not enough to do the above. Sometimes we need to make some inferences to understand things beyond our daily experience. We will introduce mathematics to symbolize and deduce things in the professional field. Only mathematics can guarantee no distortion after long-range reasoning.

These are some documents that we have seen now. Some textbooks should be so silent, the model should be called paradigm, the reason should be called motivation, and criticism should be called deconstructing some rationality of these phenomena.

Then I'll talk about my thoughts and feelings about this phenomenon and some ideas about how to make rules in the future.

Everything that exists, I believe, can find its rationality in some aspects. I used to complain that experts and scholars wrote books that were difficult to read and understand, and I thought they were pedantic and pretentious. Then I read the General Theory of Academic Norms and suddenly realized. From the results alone, we find it difficult for some people to understand what they are doing, because we ignore the external environment that supports their decision-making, which leads to our prejudice against others. This phenomenon is fixed, and the only thing we can do is to increase our knowledge and let some things that we didn't understand in the past suddenly realize after reading a book. I think this process can be called one of the greatest pleasures of reading.

So how to use the rules? When learning a new field by yourself, the most important thing is to quickly understand slang in this field. We often use introductory books to learn about a field, but these books often don't introduce too many technical terms. When we want to study further, we need to read professional books. These books are full of slang. Let's read one, understand one, and remember one. You can find detailed explanations of these slang words on Baidu Encyclopedia or some academic encyclopedia websites. When we know all these slang words, it is not so difficult for us to read professional books.
