Knowing more than Tony is easy. Like Zaphod Beeblebrox, his ego is bigger than imagination from a slice of Proust's angel cake that took him back to an aunty's. Using such power to visit an aunt reveals a lack of knowledge or a very dull boy. As Tony cannot be the latter, one presumes the former, though this does not exclude the possibility his ego is bigger than the universe itself.
Not all mysticism requires a deity Allan. There is maths without zero or numbers. Positing absolutes is not necessary. It seems you are a Platonist mate. I'm sure the following will put you right. I was into this kind of thing once but got a headache. My interest was in how infinite regresses might not be: 'Mathematics without Numbers: Towards a Modal-Structural Interpretation' Geoffrey Hellman Develops a structuralist understanding of mathematics, as an alternative to set‐ or type‐theoretic foundations, that respects classical mathematical truth while minimizing Platonist commitments to abstract entities. Modal logic is combined with notions of part/whole (mereology) enabling a systematic interpretation of ordinary mathematical statements as asserting what would be the case in any (suitable) structure there (logically) might be, e.g. for number theory, functional analysis, algebra, pure geometry, etc. Structures are understood as comprising objects, whatever their nature, standing in suitable relations as given by axioms or defining conditions in mathematics proper. The characterization of structures is aided by the addition of plural quantifiers, e.g. ‘Any objects of sort F’ corresponding to arbitrary collections of Fs, achieving the expressive power of second‐order logic, hence a full logic of relations. (See the author's ‘Structuralism without Structures’, Philosophia Mathematica 4 (1996): 100–123.) Claims of absolute existence of structures are replaced by claims of (logical) possibility of enough structurally interrelated objects (modal‐existence postulates). The vast bulk of ordinary mathematics, and scientific applications, can thus be recovered on the basis of the possibility of a countable infinity of atoms. As applied to set theory itself, these ideas lead to a ‘many worlds’—– as opposed to the standard ‘fixed universe’—view, inspired by Zermelo (1930), respecting the unrestricted, indefinite extendability of models of the Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms. Natural motivation for (‘small’) large cardinal axioms is thus provided. In sum, the vast bulk of abstract mathematics is respected as objective, while literal reference to abstracta and related problems with Platonism are eliminated. This guy is easy. For a bit of detail I suggest Alain de Connes, who publishes all his work free on his website. Run through the stuff and give me the gist, will you old chap? It's all a bit mystic to me. And start counting that infinity of atoms (without number) so we can get out for a bike ride after sorting all this tomorrow morning. One whether zero is even, we might say 'odd knows'. [image: (2x)/((x-1)^2)=2x+4x^2+6x^3+8x^4+....] is the generating function. Any four year old knows this, but only a few of us survive it all being beaten out by teechers. Remarkable how things work. Only a fool would not have the coffee and aspirin ready when dealing with this stuff.
