It’s a peak of what L&A used to, and could be once again brother

Math is empirical and ingrained in reality, such as distance , time, ect.
Visual math is like 2+2=4 is “ A priori” meaning a statement or argument that’s exist independently of the conclusion, that is definitely discovered
The theories we use to explain it, like the Pythagorean theorem are “A posteriori knowledge” and are invented

It’s a concept to describe observable phenomena. It wasn’t invented or discovered.

nocommentSo when two hunters were missing spears they didnt think “oh we need two more spears”?
Not before the cognitive revolution
Jul 31, 2020Do you think math existing proves we're in a simulation?
If you think about it, everything is math.

Saying I want two apples instead of one is math already, if anything, it grew in terms of complexity
I misread the thread title as was METH invented or discovered then got kinda confused at this reply

Jul 31, 2020notesfromphiloi think this is it
because without the format we came up with
nothing means anything
for example
1+1 is only 2 because we all agreed that's the case
in the same way that blue is only blue because we decided it's blue
i have an interesting relationship with colors as i am colorblind...
that's what led me to this way of thinking i think
Everything we have ever created has only been observations of nature.

RoninClearly the concepts described by math would be there with or without humans, so it wasn't invented
But maybe you can say that the specific format of "math" that humans use was invented in order to more easily describe and predict the natural world

I might be climbing on mirrors here but this is just the way I see it. I'm using the word concept by it's definition. That idea isn't what you've found per se, the phenomenon is what you've found and the concept is what you've thought up to try explain it
the idea didn't always exist, the phenomenon did
that apple always falling from the tree exposes a phenomenon, Newton had a concept when viewing this which grew into the theory of gravity
I'm making the distiction that one (phenomena) is how the universe works and the other (concept) is us percieving and describing it.
I bring this up because the title is using the term mathmatics, which is manmade as is logic, correct? just because these are manmade does not mean they're not rooted in natural phenomena of how the universe works. It is us who doing the concieving, of ways to describe how the world works through numbers, letters what have you
I wish I could give you a thoughtful answer but it’s 9am and I’m off 2 hours of sleep

rozcoIdk man, math kind of blows my mind. My thinking’s naturally geared toward visuals, literature and abstract concepts so I’m honestly just impressed by math and people who are proficient at it.
I get the same way when I start thinking about time fam

nxtlvlinvented
F*** that nigga for inventing bullshit
Aug 1, 2020you know how f***ing hard it would be to INVENT the entire concept of math???
you would have to create the whole universe lol- Aug 1, 2020
JbreezyondeckVery conflicting question
Invented. its simply a way for humans to put the universe in simple understandable terms.
