In my mind, mathematics assumes that things do not change by saying that anything stays static for long enough to be called a "one thing".
The philosophical basis of the concept of "one" is flawed, in my mind. As such, the rest of it is a self-referential invention, much like logic. While the universe seems very much like it is written in the language of mathematics, it is not.
On the same note, the metaphysical idea of 'being' makes the same mistake, which explains why two thousand+ years of metaphysics has been mostly spinning tires.
I think the research in this story is on to something.
