yup. mathematics is basically the language of the universe... in a sense, it's what drives everything. imo, everything IS mathematics on some level, and i think it's a starting place for the argument that reality is a simulation.





use math to explain a rock





:baaaam:


--------------------
Something there is mysteriously formed,
Existing before Heaven and Earth,
Silent, still, standing alone, unchanging,
All-pervading, unfailing,
I do not know its name; I call it tao.
If forced to give it a name, I call it
Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.


It's just a shot away..

math is constructed.

when there is a construct, such as "rock", the terms used to mathematically define "rock" are invented terms, but not invented aspects of "rock"- they are discovered aspects of "rock".

but the terminology and symbols used to define it are invented.

so the definition is constructed from the terminology and the real-world existence of "rock".

A rock contains some trillion molecules, weighs a specific amount of weight caused by the constant force of gravity, measured by complex geometry.

the methods to measure are static, but the measurements themselves are never static, unless you're talking about utter duplicates of things. all rocks are slightly different, thus give different results through said "static measurements".

these results needs be extrapolated by these methods, or you garner no new information.

this information is dependent on the methods of extrapolation, thus, this information is obscured by predilections on methodology; ie, what is the best method for measuring this data?

these methods are invented by man, thus the interpretations are predicated by the inventions to derive data measurements from objects.

thus said interpretations are only as real as the methods used to define them.

But it's never the same twice.

Actually, there are a finite number of variables and values that go into a rock's formation. It may be an extraordinarily long number, but given enough time the same pattern should repeat at some point. Just because that time table is so large it's pretty much incomprehensible to us, doesn't mean it's impossible.

i could be wrong, but the "is never the same" part might have been a quantum mechanics reference?

it's a calculation of a mathematical object, that which is an entity constructed by intuitive computation by using abstracts to create quasi-empirical theorems.

Fundamentally disagree.
Chaos exists.
During the very action of measurement you shift outcomes.

True, there is no absolute theory for ALL rocks, its on a specific rock-to-rock basis.

Mathematics is invented OP. It is a tool created by humans to help our brains process the universe.

I'm not sure how this matters.  We know nature is in flux.  Describing that change is part of what describing our observations with math is about.

So is maths intrinsically a part of nature, or a just a tool being used to somewhat describe it?

I already answered that, its an invention.  And its far more powerful than "somewhat".  Predictions from scientific theory that uses math are accurate to over a dozen decimal places.

Then we agree:shrug:
But that "accuracy" is relative only to your sense of achievement.

how big is the rock? what is the rock made up of? how many atoms are in the rock? what about the dimensions? do we get into the physics of the rock being ejected from a larger rock after being smashed by another rock of x proportion?





I said to explain the rock with math, not tell us how it got there or what size it is




i could explain the rock in terms of math if i had more info ¯\_(ツ)_/¯





fine, the rock is granite
