I have Wolfram's "New Science"" book, which is why I inserted the word "widely."

However, even if ideas are suggested by computer experiments, the foundation of mathematics is deductive logic.

I think a person
could make the case (though I won't)
mathematics is

the only science
and things like chemistry and
physics are only

specializations
or applications of math.
(But I like numbers.)
