There’s a place called the abstract realm. There is what is abstract, and abstract can get infinitely abstract.

There IS what neither is nor isn’t. Before the Big Bang, there was the abstract realm. However the Abstract Realm never ended and we live in it simultaneously as we live here within the expansion of the Big Bang.

Lets think about it and discuss.

This is a very interesting topic and I'd love to learn more about it, however, i doubt he midwits on sci will offer any meaningful discussion.

All is infinite multiverses simultaneously connected in an abstract realm of infinite Big Bangs compiled together.

Each atom and quark and abstraction etc is its own infinite Big Bangs. To say otherwise is semantics.

Yes because of semantics and the way words are given specific meaning to describe specific phenomenon rather than abstract values that can be plugged into some computer to simulate some model, but observation and the scientific method are already abstract, the steps of the scientific method are just a linguistic abstractions instead of numerical abstracts that get used in more specific models like quantum mechanics or the electromagnetic formulas.

This is finally talking about what’s in Schroeders box. The realm between what is and isn’t.

The abstract place in Schroeders box is real and has properties we have yet to discover.
There’s infinite abstract realms to explore.

The abstract realm has properties that aren’t as abstract because it has governs all that is and isn’t. We can infer aspects of the abstract realm through what is and isn’t.

Kek, what? The existence of the abstract realm is assumed and in every scientific inquiry. Not only in the scientific inquiry. but in any coherent discourse. The meaning itself exists only due to the abstract realm, if you deny abstract realm, you deny meaning and admit that you're completely arbitrary, according to such a worldview you can't even make sentences.
Numbers represent a simple evidence for the existence of the abstract realm.
>The word "abstract" itself implies "abstracted-from", or generalized from phenomenon observable in the material world

The vital thing is that the same math is independently accessible to different humans. All the civilizations had the same Pi, the same Pythagoras theorem and so on. Only the notation varies, but the underlying concepts are absolutely the same. So if someone denies the existence of an immaterial abstract realm, he has to give an account for how various people and civilizations accessed and described the same concepts independently? You can say Homer's works are fictional, because you don't find the same Iliad and Odyssey across all civilizations. Every time you stumble upon a thing which was present in every civilization, it was always something real. Like Homer's works include concepts like love and anger, it includes day and night. Those features would be found in many other stories across the planet, because they're real. So if math is a mere construct, how come it shares the property of those "real" things?

And you didn't even address the question in the slightest.
Works of literature are made up, so you find different literature across the world. In those works however you find some common themes and things like there might be descriptions of trees, of the night sky, of sun, of emotions. Those things are common because they actually exist and aren't a mere product of imagination. Math lies in that category as well, but you equate math with gender studies. Gender scientists don't have access to the same realm. You would never make this stuff up yourself, but as for math, whatever you make up, another one can access independently.

It means that math is the same for different mathematicians. Homotopy groups of spheres exist whether they're computed or no. And it doesn't matter who computes them, the result would be the same. [math] /Pi [/math] is the same for you and me, we can only have different notation and numeral systems, but [math] /Pi [/math] itself would be the same.

You're just unfamiliar with mathematics. Mathematicians who publish in the first quartile journals are usually busy constructing their own "games" or "instrument" to tackle the, given by nature, mathematical objects. The main topics of homological algebra were originally invented invented to compute the homotopy groups of a space, but it became its own field and found applications across many areas of mathematics. Mathematicians who just "play" or "verify hypothetical moves" of a "game" made by someone smarter than them publish in garbage journals.

I agree with that. I've never claimed such a thing, in fact I said the opposite, so I don't know how you came up with such a strawman. Axioms are mere conventions and are product of imagination coupled with perception of mathematics. Axioms are our way of tackling mathematics.
Ancient Greeks and Egyptians didn't know Peano axioms, but it didn't prevent them from discovering theorems about numbers. Maybe google some popsci regarding Gödel theorems
>can independently validate a proof with respect to some system of axioms
The act of validating assumes the existence of framework where the axioms are validated. You can describe the same thing by different sets of axioms. Like there are different ways to describe numbers axiomatically, it's up to you, but they all point at the same numbers.

And you would deny it? lol

Right, because axioms are our way of tackling mathematical objects and are kind of starting points. For example Pythagoras theorem is a direct consequence of inner product axioms and is proven in one line. Ancient Greeks didn't know it of course as they didn't have the notion of Hilbert spaces or something like that. You can choose whatever convention you like and start from there, or make your own.

You misunderstand the whole point again. It does not follow, it is assumed. I was explaining that if you do not assume that abstract realm, then you don't have logic, maths, and you admit that you can't make meaningful sentences, in your worldview simply disagreeing should count as a refutation.
>you can "objectively verify" claims that don't pertain to reality
I don't know what you mean here, but arguing what pertains to reality would probably turn into a semantic game. I avoided using notion of reality in my arguments, I only explained that an abstract realm is implicitly assumed if you think you can make meaningful sentences, believe in scientific method, math and logic and the universality of the latter two.
Of course that abstract realm does not exist in the same way as a stone or a star. In some sense however it exists in a far stronger way than anything material, since it doesn't need time or space. But that's another topic, I was merely explaining that if you deny such a realm, then your worldview is incoherent and full of inconsistencies and contradictions.

But they do... Without second order logic there would be no checkers. The fact that there's nothing profound here doesn't mean the abstract realm is not present here. For some reason you expect those examples to be profound f mystical nature, while I never brought up anything like that, the whole point is that the abstract realm is manifested everywhere in all trite and mundane things as well as in beautiful things.
So your appeal to emotion checker argument doesn't violate anything I said.

Mathematics is only about theoretical objects and their interactions. Even though concrete events can be described and accurately predicted by math, there is still no direct relationship between math and the world we observe through our physical senses. Occasionally we will discover something about the structure of the physical universe that allows us to create mathematical models which approximate the structure and behavior of the universe, but neither have direct influence over the other. The model is wholly independent of the system it approximates, but because the system has emergent structure, it can be replicated to some extent with mathematical objects so as to be useful for prediction.

I mean that imaginary units are entirely defined in relationship real values and mathematical operations i =sqrt(-1), so you can create a function map with every value of i as an input translated into some real quantity output such as 2i = 2*sqrt(-1).

the theoretical model of gravity that can be understood in the context of math in fact has no bearing on your concrete body at all. only the concrete phenomenon that we have decided to name gravity does.
gravity is actually a particularly interesting example here, as we don't have a complete accurate mathematical for it at all yet. one of the largest projects in theoretical physics that currently exists is to develop a model of gravity consistent with what we observe in the concrete world. despite our lack of a descriptive model, gravity will still act on our physical bodies and unfortunately hold us back from flying away to mine asteroids by hand.

It may tell you something accurate about what concrete gravity will do to you, but this is only an approximation. we have no complete theory of gravity and even if we do some day, its contents will be a representation of the action of the physical force/curvature and nothing more. Unless you're divorcing the model from some undiscovered platonic theory of gravity?

>Its called Newton's law of universal gravitation
this only works in the context of a gravity well (like on the Earth's surface) and even then is only approximate. Newton's law of gravity has largely been replaced with einstein's general relativity, in which gravity is understood to be a characteristic of the geometry of spacetime. this model is inconsistent with more recent observations in quantum mechanics, and there has been no successful theory so far to unify quantum gravity and general relativity.

>rather than indirect functional relationships such as sqrt(-1) that describe imaginary values
this isn't really a different kind of thing. it's perfectly valid to say that [math]1[/math] and [math]i^2[/math] are in an equivalence class as well. complex numbers are a field in the same way that the real numbers and rational numbers are a field. the complex numbers contain the reals as a subfield, and the statements [math]1+1=2[/math] and [math]2+3i + 4-2i = 6+i[/math] are not distinct in nature beyond the context of the field they imply to be in, and since the complex numbers are a field extension of the reals we can assume all of these occur within the their scope and the results will be unchanged.

but it does in fact have no bearing on the physical world, even if it were completely accurate. the model does not affect reality, observations of reality are what guide the construction of the model.

I absolutely believe in math and physics and their usefulness, though most of the math that I work with is only tangentially connected to physical systems. I also believe that a mathematical description for something like gravity or electromagnetism is not gravity or electromagnetism themselves, and that these observable concrete attributes of the universe exist and act on matter independently of the mathematics that has been written to describe them. somewhat akin to the way that a car in a parking garage is a concrete object that exists independently of the word 'car' that we use to refer to it.

No 1=1 is a direct equivalence a direct relationship is one that both terms proportionally increase or decrease together so x=2y is still a direct relationship, the opposite being an inverse relationship such as x=2/y, an indirect relationship being when a mathematical function or operation rather than a direct proportion is involved such as x = sqrt(y).

No, I am saying if the model was developed with real measurements and makes real predictions that really turn out to reflect future states, then it has an actual demonstrably real relationship to the physical world and can be used to influence future events because if you know where the ball is going to land because you can calculate its parabolic ark then, you have the real ability to go move exactly where the ball will be so that you can actually physically change its trajectory by going and catching it rather than letting it fall because it is not entirely abstract it is a physical model of reality with a lot of utility in the real world to change and determine outcomes of event.

you're misunderstanding the nature of fields anon. the complex numbers extend the reals. within [math]\mathbb{C}[/math] there is an equivalence relation just as there is in [math]\mathbb{R}[/math] or [math]\mathbb{Z}[/math], and by that equivalence relation 1 and [math]i^2[/math] fall in the same equivalence class. the complex numbers are not strictly functions of real numbers any more than the number 2 is.

a similar argument exists for all human knowledge of the universe and is not inherent to mathematics. every thought that you have which is guided by your prior experience with the world informs your choices, which do affect reality. you could also have closed your eyes and picked and decided to pick a place to stand based on what you had for breakfast and happened upon the same spot where the ball landed, but the model is more descriptive because its structure is closer to the physical one you're acting in. yes the mind is a part of reality, but these abstractions exist only within the mind, and no matter what actions you choose to take, they will have no effect on something like the gravity or the rate that the universe expands, even though these things can be modeled and predicted. Yes ideas and abstractions can exist within the mind, but they exist as inert information. you can use that information however you like, but it is not the information that acts, it is you. neither the model nor the idea can survive outside of your knowledge of it, even if you use it to build a GPS or computer simulation or something of this nature. what you've created in these cases is an arrangement of physical objects, they are not governed by abstraction or theory but by the physics that underlies them.

obviously your choices affect reality. that's not the same as saying that there is an abstract space that existed "before the big bang" as the OP suggests. the information that you're aware of is within the mind, which is not well understood but could easily be an entirely physical process. If so, its contents would not be an 'abstraction realm' so much as an arrangement of physical things. information is a physical state of configuration, and only affects reality as much as the rest of the material world does.

>It is very obvious you think adding more words is always better
it takes more effort to remove bloat than to just get the idea across completely and slightly redundantly at times.

>No, you just said that they also affect reality, so they also exist in reality because every mind is a subset of reality.
it is a component of your decision process. your actions affect reality. the information does not act on reality through you, you act on reality and use models and other such constructions to ground your decisions. there is no transitive property of influence or agency here, and the conception of, say, mathematics you have in your mind is not acting through you. you could easily be mistaken about it and be acting on limited or false information that doesn't fully describe the systems you're acting within. the similarity of the structures of the model and the system dont change that the model never acts on anything.

>Math knowledge has survived for many generations beyond the first to conceive it
within other human minds, never outside one. obviously others have this information.

>physics is just an abstraction
correct.

>why are you suddenly appealing to physics...as truth?

it is not the data or ideas that can be inferred from them that do this, but the physical nature of its storage. also you're still not showing that these things exist in some separate eternal 'realm'

>There is action because of information without the information the action would not occur.
there's no reason that must be strictly true. when two objects collide there are guaranteed physical processes that follow, but what you're talking about is either a very complicated process of physical things and thus there's no need for a separate realm to contain them or they don't necessarily act the way that the two objects do.

>it may just be a reflection, but a reflection still physically exists and has influence.
there is no reflection, and nothing you've mention sets this 'abstraction' outside of the physical realm at all. also again information does not act on its subject.

>some are definitely dynamic and change based on changing input or feedback loops.
yes but that's just the model changing and not the model changing anything about reality.

>[math] is also very clearly inside the minds on many animals and plants

>https://vixra.org/abs/2111.0072
>http://gg762.net/d0cs/papers/Fractional_Distance_v6-20210521.pdf
Recent analysis has uncovered a broad swath of rarely considered real numbers called real numbers in the neighborhood of infinity. Here we extend the catalog of the rudimentary analytical properties of all real numbers by defining a set of fractional distance functions on the real number line and studying their behavior. The main results of are (1) to prove with modest axioms that some real numbers are greater than any natural number, (2) to develop a technique for taking a limit at infinity via the ordinary Cauchy definition reliant on the classical epsilon-delta formalism, and (3) to demonstrate an infinite number of non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function in the neighborhood of infinity. We define numbers in the neighborhood of infinity as Cartesian products of Cauchy equivalence classes of rationals. We axiomatize the arithmetic of such numbers, prove all the operations are well-defined, and then make comparisons to the similar axioms of a complete ordered field. After developing the many underlying foundations, we present a basis for a topology.
