Is math an invention or a discovery

[chicolate131]

how would you improve the current context in which math operates?

discovery

discovery

what is a field that is more true or more important than math in detailing reality? looks lmao

physics

 

[startupluka]

you cant

math was discovered, math is everywhere

its in nature so i guess discovery

low iq says "muh math is the building blocks of the universe" high iq knows our mathematical framework is absolutely an invention which works for 99.9% of the computational concepts we utilize however it is still just a framework and there an infinite number of other mathematical frameworks which could work entirely differently and would predict reality just as well if not better which is the reason the smartest people in the world are racing to create an entirely new framework. If I am trying to reverse engineer someone's software without the ability to interact with it at a low level, I would never be able to accurately 100% recreate the original source code. Math/physics is the same thing, and our current mathematical framework is requiring thousands of invariants in order to make it work with our modern unconventionally computational concepts such as quantum mechanics
