Perception, delusion, thought... these are all based on each other. Experience
just IS. You can't think of anything you don't already know -- thoughts that

Math is just the world of delusion, except after the play, out of character,
backstage giving an interview.
Just like anything else, we regard it, and it reflects back whatever mental
framework we use to regard it in the first place.
Haiku (I posted this YEARS ago):
Strike a bell with wood.
Most people think of 1+1=2 as procedural, that is, that there is 1, THEN we
add 1 to it, THEN it becomes 2. They would regard 2=1+1 and 2=2 to be
different equations, but they are not in the least bit different. The
equal-sign is the present.
1+1 is already 2! And the effect IS the cause.
