1+1=2 only theoretically.

Frex, money has only theoretical value.

Even if you have 2 coins, and say 1 coin plus 1 coin equals 2 coins, thats fairly arbitrary(grouping two groups of atoms into 2 objects).

In my opinion, maths is a process of the human brain, the purpose of which is to be able to firmly group things into groups, categories or "bundles", to qualify and give value.

What the "real" world is like is debatable, but its my POV that its more "fluid" without arbritary categories, values and qualities.


Certainty is for fools
