Mathematical Materialism

Mathematical Materialism holds that abstract mathematical objects, such as numbers, sets, and mathematical structures, have a real existence within the material world. It asserts that these abstract entities are not separate from the physical universe but are, in some way, grounded in or derived from the physical world. According to this perspective, mathematical concepts and objects are ultimately reducible to or emergent from physical processes and structures, such as patterns in neural activity or the fundamental laws of physics.
