Math like numbers. I am not saying math is not useful, just that it is a projection from our minds. Do you have evidence that our mathematical projections are in the world?
A small example: rock A we have measured to be 5 miles from rock B. Is there something in the real world that says this, or is it our arbitrary convention of miles that makes this true?
It's all human distinctions. A beaver may measure things with his tail, and a horse, by paces. Numbers, however, are a universal language.
