Michael (all);
The point you’re making is illustrating the difference between mathematics constructed as a language of sets (ideal) vs mathematics as a language of correspondence (real).
And that the problems that have emerged in mathematics and by externality with physics have arisen because of that idealism and the externalization of its consequences – of instead of retention of the representation of mathematical relations as consistent and correspondent whether physical or verbal causal limits – it’s all just names relations comparisons and agreements.
So again, by Cantor, Bohr, and Einstein (as well as others) reversing Descartes, and re-platonizing mathematics, we have seen consequences in all disciplines from physical to philosophy, and even (in my field) behavioral and macro economics.
I am not sure just how much of the ‘decline’ in progress is due to this set of ignorance and error producing very profound metaphysical presumptions in all other fields – a general decline in the ability to think clearly.
Cheers

I can see. But what I see is practice. But the practice of mathematics is quite different from the foundations of it, and the meaning of those foundations in the context of all foundations of all knowledge.
Again, mathematics is just another grammar (paradigm, vocabular, logic, syntax), but it is a reductive grammar limited to positional (unique) names (nouns), operations (verbs), and agreements (relations). By relying only on positional names (ratios), operations, and tests of equilibria, our ability both to generalize (references, abstractions) into context independence, scale independence, and time independence is achieved.

Why do you believe you understand this subject at sufficient depth and breadth to hold that opinion?
You could instead ‘seek to understand’. 😉
Good luck in your journey.

Yeah. Ok. But…. it’s still funny.
And it’s still an illustration of an observation in cognitive science.

Joscha: Still thinking about this.
(a) Yes it’s more intuitive to think in spatial terms, and (b) yes it’s more burdensome to think in verbal(algebraic) terms
(c) But optimally, once a model is sufficiently complex, we would like to visualize in spatial terms and describe in algebraic terms.
(d) Most of what’s wrong in physics we can blame on confusing einstein and bohr. Einstein worked from mental imagery the expressed in mathematical terms – even if he had to invent a nonsense-concept like space-time as a variable. Bohr on the other hand, just gave up on models altogether. So we have two founders of present physics who, making two different errors precisely because they pursued the verbal rather than spatial in some aspect of their work, created generations of chaos among well meaning fools who did not grasp the foundations of mathematics or understand itt derived from computation.
