For me, math is all about consequences. I'm extremely poor mathematician and my background is much more about computer science, yet I'm fascinated with this simple fact. You define few simple structures, and, in consequence, get an enormous amount of structures' properties, more abstract structures and facts about newly created structures. Thing like an algebraic structure can be understood by a clever seven years old. However, it simply takes stating structure such as an algebraic structure combined with a space, to enable existence of many other structures, more abstract or more specific, with their own properties, and similarities. This is a very powerful thing. For me, math is all about this 'generative' way of thinking.
