Hello again Mark,

>>>It all comes down to what is more fundamental, the axioms upon which mathematical rules are constructed..........or the universe which brought forth these axioms. Was the universe built upon the criteria that it must obey axioms, or were the axioms a byproduct of our universe's existance?....is the question to be answerred here. I think between the chicken and the egg......neither came first. It seems feesible that both the universe and mathematics could co-exist independantly, side-by-side.>It still stands that any physical universe may not contain any logical impossibility, for if such an impossibility exists then we must deem it a possibility, and it was never impossible in the first place.>Since "impossible" is obviously different than "possible", it stands that the potential for differentiation of concepts and objects......is an imbedded consequence.>Each are one and the same....they are complimentary aspects of the same thing. One just happens to be physical (universe) and the other mental (math).....different sides of the same coin. Whether logarithmic spirals on a sea shell, Fibonacci numerical arrangements on a pineapple.......or random distribution of prime numbers and particle masses.
