Asoul doesn't know anything about mathematics and can't actually critique what she's saying because he doesn't understand it :slight_smile:

(some paper she wrote explaining her idea)

though it seems to me her definition of mathematics is significantly different from ewiz's, considering she is claiming mathematics is contextual to the human experience and western mathematics is not fundamentally more legitimate than... Indigenous mathematx? and ewiz says mathematics is a well-defined metaphysical object.

ah well she is kind enough to denote her broader notion using the word mathematx, recognizing it is a different thing from what is usually meant by "mathematics".

You really don't know how to read. She's proposing incorporating additional epistemological forms into math. I never claimed that what we know is the whole of math: we discover it. This lines up exactly with her:

Doesn't that sound like math is metaphysical, discovered, and not intrinsic to humans?
