We call this a vector.

Yes, I know what a vector is. I write software with mathematical vectors at work every day.

But to go down to a level to describe either evolution or continental drift using pure math requires quantifying down to the atomic level.

When you aquire enough data to make that work in any field of science outside of math, let me know.

Math is a great tool. But it's just one tool out of many.

Exactly! And even then, you don't really know what's going on precisely. So, you're creating models to help you understand what's happening. And guess what's undergirding every model you use?

Go ahead, guess.
