> Its not like the real world places any restrictions on math
There has been an ongoing debate about whether that statement is true for the last couple of millennia. Many people are arguing that mathematics were not developed out of the blue, but to describe the physical world around us.
- fhood 9y agoI would agree that math an the real world are related, but not that the physical world should influence math. If you discover an interesting and self consistent system, than it seems that eventually there is a good chance you will find a connection with physics. But you don't need to let perceptions about the physical world influence the systems you look for.
