Nature being consistent to 10 significant digits in an abstraction means that math is more than a language.

- turtledragonfly 3y agoWhy is that? (genuine question) Just because an approximation is really good in some cases doesn't mean it's more than an approximation, does it?
- mensetmanusman 3y agoI believe because all other domains of low entropy information exchange (language) are incredibly imprecise, contradictory, and incomplete. That the universe chose to stick with a set of axioms that are minimal entropy and maximally predictive about the non-existent future means that some approximations are so arbitrarily close to the truth that they become indistinguishable.
