Hi Krim
I don't see maths as essentialistic. Maths explores what is possible,
and assuming certain impossibilities and limits what restrcitions and
certainties can be derived from them. Its limits and so-called logic
is always self-imposed rule following. It matches up nice with our
space-time world when the assumptions match the patterns that
have been formed in our finite cosmos contingently, a contingency
of luck, trial, error, desire/choice/reason and self-replication -and
who knows how much of each.

DM: The thing I wouldsay in support of metaphysical pluralism is
that it suggests that it is all real, all levels of SQ are as real as any
other,
it rejects any formof essentialism. There is just energy and its many
forms,
Aristotle said that -often mistranslated as matter and form.
[Krimel]
So how would that apply to mathematics which seems to be nothing if not
essentialistic?
