Note
addressed to L.Nolin:
Is it worth - even in perspective - to call informatics a science, having in mind such sciences as mathematics, which deals with problems formulated in abstract terms and therefore doesn't claim its results to be true outside these abstract models.
In its turn, informatics, in my opinion, deals with real problems delivered by life itself and demanding one-valued answers not restricted by some assumptions. Therefore we will always be confronted by situations where we will be forced to use a method that is in general divergent - a solution absurd from mathematical point.
