No. Everything is grounded. This is a huge subject. Perhaps you should read:
Where Mathematics Comes From, written by George Lakoff and Rafael Nunez,
You really do need to know about Lakoff/Fauconnier/Mark Johnson/Mark Turner.
Especially:
The Body in the Mind. Mark Johnson
The Way We Think - Fauconnier/Turner.
Mike, sorry to disappoint you, but I have read all those books some time ago.
I agree of course that much of math is grounded in sensorimotor reality as
Lakoff and Nunez argue, but I also feel they overstate the case by selectively
choosing examples....
