    The fundamental way that math originated cares…

      Except math isn’t real and was entirely made up. Including the order in which the operations are calculated.

        Math isn’t real? The universe, and its laws of physics, disagree.

          Math is our representation of real world phenomena. The universe is not calculating any computations when gravity takes effect. This is basic mathematical knowledge that they teach you when you first learn physics. So no, math is not real and is entirely made up.

            How do you know?

            I see what you’re saying. But what if we tweak things a little:
            Math is real, it is numbers that are invented, the discreet packets in a ruler, a measuring stick. Like an imaginary line in a grid, such as the tropics and equator.

        Sure, but it was made up that way for a reason

          I’m sure they had a reason. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t a completely arbitrary reason
