Is math discovered or invented? Are these numbers and equations really just "floating" somewhere on their own in some realm whether or not humans discover them or not? Why stop at numbers. Is the idea/potential of "dogness" floating around somewhere as well regardless of whether or not dogs exist?

Why stop there. Let's just say everything is discovered not invented. Some random Jackson Pollock painting wasn't invented, he discovered it. He "discovered" how to arrange all those colors in that exact way.

That painting was literally sitting somewhere in the ether before Jackson Pollock the mystic pulled it out for us mortals.

That's philosophy, not science.

>If completed, it would contain every possible combination of 1,312,000 characters, including lower case letters, space, comma, and period. Thus, it would contain every book that ever has been written, and every book that ever could be - including every play, every song, every scientific paper, every legal decision, every constitution, every piece of scripture, and so on. At present it contains all possible pages of 3200 characters, about 104677 books.

Once you chose axioms, you can discover what is true given those axioms
But you can just think up any axioms you want. That's how we got complex numbers

I don't believe it for obvious reasons.
How long would it take to generate 2^3200 bits?
Rather, they generate it on the fly.

Invented. Platonists are psychotic.

Invented. Or at the very least we invented all of the conventions of it.

I could make up a new mathematical system if I wanted, and why not?
There's tons of them out there we just made up already.
