Dadoo,

Math is a means to an end. It is a spatial-linguistic subset utilized to illuminate time/space relativities within the contexts of both humanity and science.

Interesting observation. In its role as described above, math forms the spine and the skeleton of a world. This makes math a metaphysical entity. By this I mean to say math is a foundational part of reality;

Is not math more akin to a ladder than to the actual upward and downward motion sustainable upon it's matrix?

Math sees without being seen?

To divide the human experience into "2" distinct disciplines, one "divides".

Division need not be a bad thing. Intelligible distinctions, such as hot and cold, have practical value. As to studies at school, human minds operate in different modes; as children, we must find the particular orientation of our minds. Is the mathematical mind oriented toward the first causes of reality?
