Kamran: you got it in reverse. Mathematical 'functions' (and numbers) are human artifacts of our mind-work (David Bohm) and "WE" think (assume) that nature is built the way WE can imagine it. I am sorry for you if you build your love from math functions. I am not a Buddhist, I don't accept any kind of imagined fairy-tails, religious stories (including mathematical ones) I rather confess that we did not yet (?) attain the level of wisdom to discover the 'origins' of what we are part of. Believing hearsay even mathematical one, does not help.
I agree with your statement: "...mathematical functions are evidence of a mental platform." in the sense that our mind works this way. Do you have a way to arrive from 'numbers' at 'non-numbers'? E.g. at a validity (or not) of a legal proposition? Or the at the idea of a "phisical world"? There is a trend (e.g. 'Everything List', check for Bruno Marchal) to assign the totality to 'numbers' - to computational factors, - way more advanced than our current primitive (embryonic level?) digital contraptions - (see: e.g. 'Loebian Machine') but it is not (yet?) convincing, even if I keep an open mind about it.

Suranee, Absolutely no apologies are needed or expected. It appears that I may have misunderstood your personal position on this. My answer, however, would still apply to the case of your Buddhist compatriots who as you say do not believe in a Creator (or God). The point is that the elephant (excuse the metaphor) is in the room whether they want to open their eyes or keep them shut. Everything in existence is built around mathematical functions and mathematical functions are evidence of a mental platform. Thus we are literally expressions of thought formed in a Grand Mind that is the Creator. Kamran Progressive News/Views (since 1982) Yahoo!
