Like F=Ma. It is a function of the universe.I think you misunderstood. F=ma is not a function of the universe. It is a conceptual model that describes, approximately, a certain type of physical operation. Theoretical value produced by the formula never quite matches the result in practice.
In contrast, the formal properties of logical and mathematical thought-processes are truth-preserving and precise in a way that cannot be duplicated by any physical system. x+x+x=3x always produces a precise result, every single time, regardless of what value x is.

But if we don't think of the equations as having "a answer", but rather the answer will be another function, then emotions will be able to be addressed and understood as a dynamic interactions of particles. Not a single answer.Please elaborate on this one.
