I say that human beings (first-person) experience reality only in terms of words, many words with some measure of meaning and some without any meaning at all. Even the physics you mentioned are conveyed to the public as words, and the math that is conveyed between physicists is expressed in words, including Robinson's 1,2,3... arithmetic. You see some words, particularly mathematical and physical terms, have special properties that are in some measure truthful...Richard Ruquist 20140501
