No, that's not correct, because differential calculus was widely received within mathematics, from Newton as well as Leibniz, and our understanding of it in no way depends on alleged geometric proofs within an esoteric system. It's precisely the latter tha... 2mo ago 7 7 1 1

There is nothing easier than to claim to have, or to have discovered, an esoteric system of great power, whose secrets you too can learn if only you spend time reading my material. ... 2mo ago 6 6 1 1

As someone who has spent years patiently working through fairly difficult mathematics in the field of category theory, I find the notion that the problem here is that I'm just "in a hurry" merely silly. ... 2mo ago 6 6 1 1

I literally made no claims about the conclusions of category theory, whereas the whole point of your OP post was to make strong claims about Leibniz's conclusions. Your response is a petty non-sequitur. 2mo ago 2 2

From the cited papers, these alleged discoveries are not part of the "geometric proofs" contained within Leibniz's "esoteric system," but rather work that Leibniz did openly that prefigures later discoveries. ... 2mo ago 3 3
