poisson process
Poisson means fish in French.
Fish like water.
Water drops falling in a puddle in the rain are like a two-dimensional Poisson process.
That's why the process is called "Poisson".
And that's why watching the rain falling is a way of learning mathematics.
Reality is never "what one might believe" but it is always what one should have thought. Empirical thought is clear a posteriori, once the machinery of reasoning has been tuned. It is by going over a past of errors that we can find truth, in a genuine act of intellectual repentance. In fact we acquire knowledge against a prior knowledge, by destructing poorly built knowledge, by moving on beyond what, in our own intellect, is an obstacle to intellectualisation."
