From God flows math,...

Kroneker was a bit more niggardly: "The integers were created by God; all else is the work of man."

And Einstein even more so: "the series of integers is obviously an invention of the human mind, a self-created tool which simplifies the ordering of certain sensory experiences."

If the sensorium responds to integers, does it not have to, in some sense, contain integers as well?

Is there no order before we perceive it? How do we know?

Great quotes, especially Kronecker.

Perhaps Laplace was right after all: "I had no need for that hypothesis."
