Math; after a middling life at math it “occurred” to me that math isn’t about “numbers of things” rather relationships of proportions of things. Manifold special distributions, inverse square laws of field propagation, base conversions (like spotting the “Q.E.D” error of 1 == 0.99999999; as 10/10 - 1/9, a base trick), etc. Structural engineering, that the moment of force is a superposition of force distribution which determines the life of structural performance. And human intelligence, that really humanity is faking intelligence; we get by on averaging our failures and congratulating our inevitable success (persistence.)
