"One possible conclusion would be that if we look at the universe in totality and not bracket any subset of phenomena, the mathematics we would need would have no axioms at all. That is, the universe in totality is devoid of structure and needs no axioms to describe it."
To me, this speculation sounds intuitively true, probably because of my attraction to non-dual teachings. Of course, at that point, it raises the question of what is mathematics without axioms - in what sense is it still mathematics, and for whom?
