MATH IS DEAD SIMPLE. (Even if applying it gets increasingly difficult)
Math is stated as a form of idealism (mathematical platonism, specifically), and that’s the problem.
Mathematics consists (scientifically) of the use of measurement, by using positional naming, serving as scale independent constant relations, to describe constant relations in the universe, and to deduce constant relations from those constant relations, or fragments of constant relations.
I mean. Math could not be more simple. It’s trivial. That’s why its so powerful. We can use one of anything to describe any constant relation.
Where math has a problem is inconstant relations (economics and law).
Even there, we can identify some constant relations through the commensurability provided by property and money.
Property and money themselves being empirical measures of the time saved through acts of voluntary cooperation.
Math is really simple. Constant relations of position names provide scale independence.
Unlike reality, we can construct numbers (positional names) in an infinite number of ‘dimensions’. So that not only can we represent countings, but one dimensional (lengths) two dimensional (geometric) three dimensional (spatial), four dimensional (change) – but we can also represent all sorts of pure relations ( ‘types, or classes’). For example, spreadsheets that reference each other’s pages form additional dimensions. But there is no limit to pure relations we can represent with positional names (topologies).
Math is trivial. Just like binary number systems are trivial.
Thats why they’re so powerful.
