    I think what he means is that nature isn't divisible, at least not in the same way "100" is. Nature is a flow of intensities and our experience of it is fundamentally qualitative. We have to abstract from our perceptions in order to "do" math.

    Mathematics is not real, but it is certain and it is what gives man the possibility of meaning. Like pillars sustaining the temple of knowledge, mathematics stand as the foundations of a solid epistemology, unshakeable pillars as they are, but we know what they are made of, or most importantly, we know they are constructed. This is where Platonism finds its ground, as if methametical axioms, the One and Good stands as Principle, and multiplicity as what follows from unity.

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        Yes, but I'm just going to the point where humans become aware of a need for a scientific foundation as valid epistemological ground. If we go back it is even more interesting how there is a certain intimacy between the sciences and the ''primitive'' mechanisms (religious fables, etc., which if on the one hand math is also a creation, on the other hand these fables and superstitions are true and real for the fact that they work).

        >unity as following from multiplicity
        Sure, but as an epistemological ground there needs to be an axiomatic, apodictic principle for such a scientific procedure, hence the parallel with unity (as in a Principle for Platonic and Aristotelian metaphysics), and you could also transpose it to a point.

        >You could just as well conceive of unity as following from multiplicity.
        How? Have you read any of Zeno's problems? Unity can only follow from multiplicity logically, ie examining multiplicity and determining what it is resolved into. Metaphysically, unity cannot be derived from multiplicity in substance without incurring paradoxes of infinity (some of Zeno's paradoxes, not however the well known Achilles paradox), however in essence multiplicity requires unity to be multiple, as a multiple is always derived from its base (to know multiples one must know ones, to know one, one does not need to know multiples). This broaches on the topic of prime numbers, because the existence of primes shows the basic necessity of one (the number divided by itself) as its base. All numbers which are not primes can be resolved into either primes, which are then resolved into unities. Primes are unique in that they are the closest numbers to one, despite being potentially infinitely removed from the one in terms of pure magnitude.

          Multiplicity does not need to be composed of distinct units/elements. Consider a gradient. It is different at every point but is not composed of points.

      He endorses the transcendental aesthetic in this essay which he completely changes his stance on later in his works. Definitely not a good place to start for his final thought, unless you're going chronologically along with Birth of Tragedy. The reason it's given first in college is likely just because it is relatively simple and touches superficially on a bunch of issues that are considered important in philosophy in general.

          No, the part I was referring to was around page 6 or 7. It's closer to the end of the essay than the beginning. He does mention it more than in that one place though.
          >the broader point of the essay contextualizes his statement on math here
          You mean where he states that maths is an a priori form of intuition? That's not exactly the same sentiment as was stated in the OP. All of the arguments against truth in that essay refer to concepts that are not mathematical, ie genera that abstract from concrete perceptions, as opposed to mathematical constructs which he says are the intuitions of quantity which structure experience. Overall it's very Kantian/Schopenhauerian, just like BoT.

            I don't recall him saying math is an a priori form of intuition in the essay, but it's been a while since I've read it. But the gist of the essay is that it's an attack on Platonic Forms and abstractions, no? The general idea is that these things are derived from patterns that exist in the chaos of becoming, but they do not really "exist." Geometric constructions, which never perfectly exist in the real world, are a classic example of this

            us therein and seems to demand explanation, everything that might lead us to distrust
            idealism: all this is completely and solely contained within the mathematical strictness and
            inviolability of our representations of time and space. But we produce these representations in
            and from ourselves with the same necessity with which the spider spins. If we are forced to
            comprehend all things only under these forms, then it ceases to be amazing that in all things
            we actually comprehend nothing but these forms. For they must all bear within themselves the
            laws of number, and it is precisely number which is most astonishing in things. All that
            conformity to law, which impresses us so much in the movement of the stars and in chemical
            processes, coincides at bottom with those properties which we bring to things. Thus it is we
            who impress ourselves in this way.
            Is he not saying mathematics is a construction here?

            This is called the transcendental aesthetic. That's not even the exact part I was referencing, but that works well enough. It both refutes the first point in the quote about "mathematics not coming into existence if...", and the association of mathematics with sensible objects.

    absolutely correct.

    https://rsbakker.wordpress.com/speculative-musings/mathematics-and-the-russian-doll-structure-of-like-the-whole-universe/
    "The great debate in mathematics, for instance, is between the constructivists (formalists) and the Platonists, those who see mathematics as an artifact of the human brain, and those who think it’s a kind of conceptual perception, a way of grasping things that exist independently of the mind.
    The question boils down into whether there’s any mathematics absent our experience of it. The prior question should be whether there’s any such thing as mathematics as we *experience* it at all. What if mathematics *as we experience it* is neither constructed nor discovered, but *imposed* by the severe structural and developmental constraints faced by the thalamocortical system?"

    "From a metaphysical standpoint, the idea would be that the universe possesses a Russian Doll structure, that *what we perceive* as ‘structures’ are conserved and recapitulated across vast differences in scale.
    A neurostructural recapitulation is simply a neural circuit, distributed or not, that is capable of interacting with intermediary systems so as to enable systematic interaction with some other structure. You could just as easily say that the recapitulation is distributed across the entire system, and that each recapitulation harnesses circuits shared with all other recapitulations. In this sense, the brain could be seen as a *recapitulation* machine, one capable of morphing into innumerable, behaviour-to-environment calibrating *keys*. In this sense, there need be no ‘one’ representation: differentiating fragments could be *condensed*, waiting to be ‘unzipped’ in a time of need. There need be no isomorphism between recapitulation and recapitulated, simply because of the role of process. In all likelihood, recapitulations are *amoebic*, dynamically forming and reforming themselves as needed."

        well there are a few valid points to this,

        Mathematics as a word refered to non-numerical sciences from the Egyptian God Maat, I believe.

        Algebra, the claim of cretins to be intelligent, refers to the breaking and setting of bones in plaster and comes from Arabia; which is a good metaphor for what continuous study of numbers actually does to a persons brain.

        Relying on numbers above actual data doesn't produce anything; the bankruptcy of the contemporary united states which is numerical-centric demonstrates how mere numbers does not equate to knowledge of anything in the real world.

        Numbers are often touted as a pseudo-science in their own right; the hyper-fixation on numbers being demonstrable in divination in mysticism beingnot at all different from stock market gambling or just gambling in general - in addition, no pun intended, to the baseless claim that numbers have other magical meanings and can be used to encode, decode and make-up prophecies from the various holy books.

        I would agree that basic addition and subtraction and limited multiplication is a useful basic skill, and that there is a place in bomb science for people who know how to make artillery work, but beyond this..? Obviously mathematics became irrelevant the moment pocket calculators came into being, allowing anybody to perform these clown antics without needing to dedicate their entire life to the study of it as some abstract other worldly thing or even as some kind super science.

        Bearing in mind under the Roman Quadrivium and Trivium a child would have mastered these university graduate doctorate level skills probably around the age of 8 or 9 and moved onto more practical subjects that were are use to themselves and the society.. such as Law, Rhetoric, Military Artillery, Engineering, Slave Management, Hedonism, etc.

        I mean, this was my view of maths as a child and it's never been disproved, since I have always had access to a calculator, that the thing has been a waste of time since it was introduced into the first public schools in the 19th century and snowballed into this arabic bone-setting ideology. It's like we're not allowed to use Nuclear Power and are forced to make do with sticks and a bit of flint, or something, in every single engagementin the most impractical manner, by forbidding the use of a calculator. When we live in space stations perhaps it'll be thought of as worthwhile for our time to inhale oxygen from balloons because to use air filtration pumps in the space station would be 'cheating' somehow.
