math is just a compression algorithm for what’s already there. the there is no concrete distinction between math and not math, it’s just the compression becomes more lossy and we set some threshold to reduce into binary format so it’s easier for brain to tokenize. for example, some math savant people are savants because they have a “disorder” to visualize numbers because their brain neural connections developed differently (idk specifics). either way obviously i do agree that better compression (better math) makes better software
