"If it's all math, then where does math come from?"
Strange to say, elementary maths just appears to be a fact. That
is, it is a fact that 1+1=2.
Or it comes from our conceptualizing the world as consisting of
distinct objects and counting them, c.f. William S. Cooper "The
Origin of Reason" and Lakoff and Nunez "Where Mathematics Comes
From".
That makes sense, but only by negating computationalism.
I don't see that it is inconsistent with saying "yes" to the doctor
- though it may be inconsistent with other parts of your argument
like the UDA.
But then you must show the flaw, or add a missing hypothesis or
something. Normally UDA follows from comp. I was of course assuming
people grasp UDA here.
