Let's hear it /sci/...

We've had this thread so many times now.

The concepts and definitions are invented.

The relationships between them are discovered.

math is discovered
knowledge that is already true prior to being known cannot be invented
I never want to see this fucking thread again

>>8755550
The definition of "true" was invented.
What now?

>>8755600
the word "true" was invented, the thing it represents was not

>>8755632
That's not how it works

Logic didn't exist before man invented it

>>8755550
I discovered a function f from the set of dirty dishes to the set of clean dishes.

>tfw attained Philosophy degree
>tfw now able to troll /sci/ to my heart's content after a day of flipping hamburgers

both obviously, purely a semantic, false distinction

words invented

relationships discovered

that's not controversial right?

>>8755541
Both. The only reason math makes sense, is because we say it does.

I think you're on to something, I mean the quantization and structure of this reality is way too complex for primate brains to truly grasp so we build a system axiomatically that corresponds to it as closely as the anthropic principle allows.

It is remarkable how close our interpretation is to reality though, despite our inability to fundamentally understand it.

I lost the count of how many threads about "mathematics are invented or discovered" have been here in the month.

this. can we please stop having these threads
