> Absolutely. The maths we use are a form of the reality we see. Since our intellectual capacities are a part of the universal consciousness and intelligence, that is an easy statement to make. My belief system is always based on the concept from my philosophy prof in college: everything is energy: matter is energy on the outside and mind is energy on the inside. Math concepts are instructions for increasing universal complexity from the simplicity of the original plasmas of the big Bang. Maths that describe forms not yet in our reality indicate possible potentials or conjectures of future reality recognitions: Calabi-Yau space, Kaluza-Klein theory.-You support String Theory? I could have sworn you were a critic...? If we can't verify Calabi-Yau or Kaluza-Klein, they are meaningless theories.-My take is that math is language only. And we use it to describe nature. Personally I think that a God would be more likely if we couldn't describe our world with it.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
