Nature as it is, is the given context of our lives. The only possible way to evolve toward survivable complex intelligence, which is what we are, is to mirror nature as it is. Life that doesn't mirror natural coherence couldn't survive. There is no possible experiential standpoint outside of nature -- for us -- to relate nature as a whole to anything non-coherent (i.e. non-coherence is only a conceptual negation of what experience is like as a whole; there is no such thing as non-coherence, and thus no rational basis for asking why nature is coherent). It's like pulling one's hair out asking why 2+2=4. No other outcome is ever possibly experienced, so it's an abuse of language to ask why it is the case.

@@billnorris1264 Yes. You missed the categorical distinction between questioning how anything within nature exists in all their measurable and logical and aesthetic complexity, versus that nature as a whole is what it is. It makes sense to ask questions about things within nature because the mental tools by which we cognize reflect nature; it is contradictory in the manner of an infinite regression to apply explanatory ruleset of experience and deduction, for example, to an imagined structure outside of nature, or pretend our explanatory tools are meta-natural such that we can explain our explanatory tools themselves. There is either a terminus to explanatory value, or we run into the categorical contradiction of saying we can fully explain using deduction why deductions obtains, which is the category error even distinguished (albeit untrained in philosophy) scholars make when they erroneously attempt to speculate about why mathematics is successful vis-a-vis physics. The answer they are looking for is self-contradictory because they are imagining there is a meta-logical standpoint from which they can demonstrate in a manner very much like deduction, yet somehow above it, why deductive mathematical relationships have predictive value.

Mathematics is not only about counting as 1, 2, 3.. it's also about how numbers are related to shapes, surfaces and solids. Classic example is the mathematical equations done by Srinivasa Ramanujan, The man who knew infinity. His mathematical patterns are still in use for physics of blackholes. On the other hand, mathematics is itself makes its correlation to its own branches as algebra, geometry, Calculus, matrices. As Roger Penrose puts it, it's capable to survive even without a physical world. Finally, mathematical equations are able to predict not only the quantity but also the quality and nature of a physical theory. Ongoing argument regarding the string theory's dimensions are purely about what math supports. Of course, I would argue for otherwise 'Why Math is reasonably effective?' . But I changed my mind after going through 'incompleteness theorems' of Kurt Godel which basically rip through certain axioms of whole edifice of Mathematics. Thanks for the video Dr. If it's possible I would suggest Dr John Lennox for an interview. God bless you

The effectiveness of mathematics is more than that of written or spoken languages because all its printed symbols have logical relations to themselves and reality around them which language symbols do not have and hence the reason for the many tribal languages trying to describe the same actions using different sounding, action verbs, and tangible nouns and the other linking "glues" to join sentences together, as found in any language. If people in society had to live together in silence, then their actions and processes could be related to a natural evolution which depends on the nature of the laws of physics and chemistry within the organic stuff that makes living things, but it is not the same with describing an issue using any artificially made language whee many misunderstanding can occur as in the written law. Let us take the numbers 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,........10,11,.....20, 21, 90, 91.....100.....1000......10000.....etc and the alphabet a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,,n,o,p,q,r,,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z. First of all, it must be said that the printed number symbols as shown are not written correctly, as the rounded symbols from a typewriter have lost the value appreciation of the number quantity in the written symbol. The real original numbers had sharp CORNERS which anyone, unfamiliar with the number symbol could easily count by looking at the number symbol. Hence "0" has no corners and so its value is zero. "1" has only one corner and so its value is one. " 2" should not be rounded on the top-right corner and thus it would have two corners, confirming that its value is two. " 3" should not be rounded off on the top right- hand and bottom right and corner and thus the symbol would contain three corners confirming and projecting its value of three. And so it goes on. There is "logic", "reason" and " rational " thinking in the evolution of the written symbols of numbers. Another logic is that each adjacent number is linked by the value of "1 corner" being added or subtracted from the adjacent numbers in the sequence. When one runs out of corners, the basic numbers are " shifted" to the left to increase their value by ten times, hence "10" has a value of 10 due to the shift of the symbol "1" and the fact that "1" has only one corner, while in the symbol "100" the "1" has been shifted two times and " 1" has only one corner, while the other spaces are filled with "0" with no corners, meaning that the value is one hundred. "1325" would contain the processing logic of " one "1" with one sharp corner being shifted three times hence its value is one thousand, "3" containing three corners, being shifter twice hence its value is three hundred, " 2" with its two corners, is shifted twice hence its value is twenty, while " 5" is not shifted at all, it has five corners thus its value is merely five, through the operation of counting its corners. Now any operation with numbers be it multiply, divide, add, subtract, finding sine, cosine, logs, squared and cube roots, etc, they all have their logical operation on the numbers handled and so the answer must always be logical, reasoned and effective and real as in the case of the square root of minus one which contains the logic of rotation to have a practical answer. Now the above conversation could not be made using the symbols of the letters of the alphabet "a" and " b" or "A" and "B'" as the logic is not contained in the symbol as "1" and "2" but it is an artificially agreed sound or written symbol which every tribe on earth developed through accidental soundings and heliographic as in art, where art itself has no logic but simply emotions and it is the structure of art and sounding and writing of a language that contains engineering logic and rational thinking in its construction. The video shown above illustrates the illogical soundings of a language and they are successfully communicating only because the mind of man can produce an error-correcting code through sound recognition. The interviewer at 0:04 is adulterating his English language with a voice including additional sounds as "em", "eh", "em, em, em", and the lady Licia Verde, while her logic is unquestioned, her English accent is adulterated by her Spanish influence of Barcellona. If this conversation was to be made by other persons using other languages, with other rituals and cultures, then, not only the soundings would be different but the sentence construction would also be structured in a different manner, and the result will only be an approximation to what is being projected as sound in this video and the hidden real substance of the subject spoken through symbolic utterings. Mathematics is not ambiguous and irrational, as the relationship between various states is no different from what the natural material did with the evolution of the years of changing states that existed with its own logic at the time where each operation and step in evolution had to be logical, reasoned and completely rational which languages do not have. It seems that what was illogical in natural evolution, it destroyed itself. That is why languages are ever-changing, but not mathematical operators. The states in differential geometry are related by the rate of change of a function, which is another son or daughter blood-related function, and this creates regularity and contingency in the mathematical action. This cannot be said of any language, but only of the human mind that speaks and writes the language with " approximate artificial operators which can only be symbolic and produce images and shadows of the truth and reality" Each language produce its own superficial shadows and blurred artistic images of the real universe while science and mathematics go a little deeper than the superficial scratching the surface of reality using artificial language meanings with written and noisy hieroglyphs appertaining to different language brought about through its isolation of different earthly surface zones. Mathematics is the language of the common universe available to all people and so it does not work in isolation with the different people who use it. Language does and writing this using the English language will come out in a different dialect to what Licia Verde presented as similar to Licia. The English language is not my mother's tongue and so the reader would, in addition to what I wrote, add his own interpretation generated by his own upbringing and tribal culture. If language is used to tell a story to a child and he is asked to repeat it to another child who goes through the same process, then the original story represented with any language, would after ten repeated recitation by totally different people and would finish up being a totally different story where, if the original story was fiction, the last one would probably believe what he was told as being reality itself. This happens in politics, law, literature, religion, philosophy, but never in mathematics. It is the real substance that emanated from mathematics and engineering that produced all the modern tangible guaranteed comforts in and out of our homes, that most families now want and that is what they now seek rather than old philosophies, politics, laws, and religions, arts, though the latter will always be emotional and need to always be used as entertainment to calm people down when they cannot understand the mathematics and engineering that gives them what guaranteed tangible comforts they have, which languages, religions and philosophies, and politics could not do. It is so unfortunate that most people are proud to buy and own and operate things around them as the " success story" these modern days is not to seek a deeper understanding of the universe but to make as much paper money as possible in any legitimate or illegitimate manner, and using the existing laws to change the paper or electronic money into real assets, normally buying other people land! That is too monotonous for mathematicians and engineers. Others who use the symbolic language, as lawyers and senators, politicians, psychologists, and religion do, they prefer to stay with the illogical, unreasoned, and irrational structure of a language. Others who emotionally prefer to subconsciously use mathematics and engineering to construct their irrational artistic displays, supported by differential contrasts in trajectories and color mixing and the emotional music engineering combinations, without ever delving into the hidden mathematical orderly relations as to what projects and depicts the emotions of monotony, excitement, gentleness and aggression.

Long time ago the famous mathematician Henry Poincare wrote the following: “To localize an object simply means to represent to oneself the movements that would be necessary to reach it. I will explain myself. It is not a question of representing the movements themselves in space, but solely of representing to oneself the muscular sensations which accompany these movements and which do not presuppose the preexistence of the notion of space”, and further on “I have shown in ‘Science and Hypothesis’ the preponderant role played by the movements of our body in the genesis of the notion of space. For a being completely immovable there would be neither space nor geometry.” Movements are those entities that put us in interaction with the physical world. Our brains and thoughts about the space and geometry are formed through movements. If one does not recognize the crucial role of our bodies and movement ability in cognition of basic physical properties of space s/he won't be able to answer the question posed in this episode.

Why the “Unreasonable Effectiveness” of Mathematics? Good question. Answer: after the 0 axiom that nothing is certain: that rules itself out subsequently taking the first axiom that the universe exists as a dualistic absolute something (atomos) and absolute nothing thus binary Bayesian mathematically all-encompassing paradoxical niche affair. Only applicable for education and (ironic) humor. Bayes can be logically consistently divided in number mathematics (i.e. counting), picture mathematics (I.e. geometry without the numbers and a set theory weighing machine) and other logic such as the English language used as unambiguous i.e. logic. These three “languages” are all part of the soul of our synapsis in our brain being consistent with the soul (defined as the physical order function of the cosmos (taken identical to “god”)). Then we see humans as mammals with more yet still too little memory space. Apes changing their biotope faster than that their neural networks can cope with. Making two axiomatic whopping axiomatic mistakes: 1. Egoistically placing humans outside the cosmos: god doesn’t play dice mistake: On the first axiom a given that it is deterministic. Yet the Socratic Bayesian yin and yang formula demands what risk you want to take on your whatever egoistic goal of even bare survival? Well given risk is chance x consequence you must logically go for the inverse: we have a free will and there is an meaning in life. How small that chance may be. Then we get that the cosmos must be described in an Euclidian way with the five axioms including that the cosmos is fundamentally not curved as Louis Carrol already explained. You’ll get in Alice and Wonderland and it will become unreasonable. The second mistake was forgetting the instrument between the ears during all lab sessions in school and afterwards. Had all scientists actually done that then one would of asked: “Is this correct that it doesn’t matter what I measure, because it is nurture and not nature the working of the human brain?” It does matter, for all thinking is DNA classical mechanical quantum (sub atomic) robotics. All observations are illusions that in drawn conclusions differ depending on the exactly identifiable sort of brain that you have. The greatest mistake you can have is have triumphs as Einstein knowing he was wrong had with a mistake. Humanity (and all mammals) can as a quick triage be divided in 20% mentally healthy ADHD types (such as Einstein, and Michelle Obama) having talent for spotting fresh irony / paradoxes, 40% healthy autistic people who have the most talent for number mathematics and are average in picture mathematics and thus can’t grasp fresh irony or paradoxes and the here not so relevant 40% healthy hysterics who don’t have any talent for picture mathematics and thus set theory and thus have incurable gender neutral female logic. The HRM / sales department of humanity. Due to the success of a mistake under a majority it has as a consequence become a religion even for artistic and spiritual R&D leaders (the ones with resounding voices) to become religious in the autistic “shut up and calculate” church. Most to blame for this are psychologists. Assessment is their social contracted job, and they knew this all along. Yet being mostly hysterics they didn’t spot the logic, for they couldn’t yet being dominant in the social sciences.

Main reason why mathematics is effective is because theory is in development for thousands of years and all nations adopted some sort of counting stuff. This is another reason why, since all nations and cultures developed their own number theory and axioms, mathematics became a bridge for converting same things into different systems and uses. But why number theory works, it must have something to do with quantum components, equilibrium and balance we can observe everywhere in universe. Markets and economy couldn't work if no permanent shapes could exist and lengths would keep on changing. But there are elementary particles and linear forces, things are not infinitely divisible, so mathematical tools and forms are part of a real world, not imaginary substance. Things get complicated deep down, but dimension of very small and very large were not available to humanity before, mathematics has just started dealing with border line extremes. Question is if mathematics still function once we exceed limits of our biological experiences, only thing we can use there are artificial tools build on mathematical constructs, if they fail, any number theory will have a hard time to expand beyond our physical dimension. Mathematics is adding and subtracting, counting is more like physics where things get measured many times, to confirm results or find more effective solutions.

Mathematics are not rational, mathematical physics even less. They reify concepts as objects and "play" with these to fit their narrative. Could an object be that which has a shape? Then what's the shape of time? Of space? Of waves? Of a light? Of a blackhole? Is it a 2D hole or a 3D ball? And what about dimensions? These are concepts, yet they are used as object! Same with existence! Existence is that which has shape and a location, yet neither object or existence were defined beforehand! Egyptians had a kind of mathematics and developed many technologies with it, yet had beliefs that we would consider today "irrational". It is the exact same today, because the ability to develop technology does not equate with being "right" about the mechanisms underlying the technology. One person trying at least to define actual physical phenomenon could be Bill Gaede, but he isn't another dogma to follow, but at least another viewpoint not engaging in the consensus.
