Platt, I'm trying to reduce both yours and Bo's assertions down to basic general statements and was wondedring if I captured both Bodvar's and your own opinions regarding what characterizes the intellectual level and what you take the term "MoQ" to mean. For the sake of clarity because to have any discussions as far as differences of opinion, I believe I should get your point of view correct before I try to discuss it. -Ron

But can't mathematics take off on purposes of its own that don't "represent reality?" If so, I would say it's relationship to reality (nature) is coincidental rather than representational. But when it comes to math, I defer to your superior understanding.
