This is a hypothesis of yours. What evidence is there for this? I could argue that there is plenty of evidence that the universe is doing mathematics. That the universe is a game.
I'm interested to hear what you think.
Mathematics is a language to describe the universe, both observable and theoretical.
The universe is more akin to the specification, whereas mathematics is our implementation.
A way to expound, introspect and reach understanding.
I wouldn't say that the universe performs mathematics. We could equally understand it through a different method, perhaps if we had moved towards magic rather than method in the days of alchemy, we might have something as pure as mathematics, but looking vastly differently.
