This is what's wrong with individuals who post on 4chan.org/sci. They cannot differentiate between the universal modeling language - a product of humans - and traits of the universe.

Math is the purest language there is, capable of representing anything with conscision, but it is nothing more.

>assuming that "math" wasn't already existent before the Big Bang.
It's not so much a language as it is a set of invisible "law"s that cause the existence of the universe to be. Imagine, if you will, the circuits inside a calculator that allow for it to make the calculations. That's what math is.

>> No.1610860

No it is something more. Our notation system is the language. Math is the framework of logic itself. It has innate laws. It is its own universe for us to explore.

Math has no realtionship to the universe per say. Math is what we use to understand it, but that doenst mean it is fundemental from the perspective of the universe. Math is like language, a tool humans use to try and help humans, nothign more.

Ohh ic, and that is a good point. I will try an clarify.

So "math" is just a means to an ends. Humans use it to try and describe shit, similar to lanuage or art or most fucking things.

If your question is is the universe "knows" or "reconginzes" math, the answer is no. Math is just somthing that humnas use to try and help humans, nothing more, it is just as "pure" as language or art. In that it is not pure at all. At least from the perspective of the universe.

LMAO, I have a degree in mathematics as well, undergrad. So i understand what you mean. Still though, to imagine that the uniserve works "directly" in an sense we can "understand" is fucking laughable.

Im sure the businees majors think the univsere has inherit "business principles" as well as the "artist" and "medical doctors". Humans try an personify the universe with traits and merits that they know or are part of there understanding, it is just human behvaior.

It is all irrelevant though. While math may be more "pure" or "fundemental" then all other of man "constructs", to think it is more then just a "construct" is a fucking lapse in logic.
