For some reason this reminds me of a quote: "It is because we have blindly 
excluded the lessons of these regular bodies from the domain of human knowledge 
that we are still in doubt about the great doctrine that the only laws of 
matter are those which our minds must fabricate, and the only laws of mind are 
fabricated for it by matter". -James Clerck Maxwell, "Analogies in Nature", 
Feb. 1856,  (The Scientific Letters and Papers of James Clerk Maxwell: 
1846-1862).

I'm inclined to think there is something deeper at work here, deeper than the 
evolution based on the survival of the fittest (are mathematicians fittest?). 
I'm inclined to think there is a smooth transition from matter to form or - to 
say it better - to information (and mathematics may be a sort of *objective* 
*testable* information theory about possible worlds, relations, laws of nature, 
objects). Hylo-morphism.
