We should not be surprised to find strong relationships between the universe we observe and the formal system we invented to describe it. Mathematics is not static, we are constantly extending the formalism to explain new things we discover. We have invented plenty of bad formalisms (and beliefs) it's easy to focus on what we got right. This essay is an attempt to disguise mysticism as mathematics.
