Hi Mario,

You found us! Just kidding, I suppose you knew we were here all along.

>>>When you say that it is possible that math/logic are just human constructions, are you referring to the purely abstract portions of math (x=4) or are you referring to the equations of physics, etc.?>If you're being purely semantic and saying "Well, a derivative has no physical meaning" I can agree, but when you say that math may be a human construct, are you also implicating laws that the universe seem to follow, like e=mc^2 or f-ma?
