I like this topic and appreciate this thought filled article. Semi frustrated because in the end it is not clear what you mean "mathmatics doesnt enter the world" - this may not be an exact quote but it is said within your first few paragraphs and that gist circulates throughout. Best case scenario is that I reread the article but right now off the top of my head I am thinking that mathmatics is an unseen driver that moves through (through) the world. Thank you!
I do not believe that it is causal, I think that it is a compass drawing regularities. The result is a sort of shadow world, but strangely it maps onto the way of things. I believe that there is one thing, and so there cannot be mathematics—but here it is, so I must deal with this. It is the same as any scratching, a thing planted sideways in the world. The plans are not the house, have nothing to do with the house but for through the structuring of behaviour. Mathematics exists similarly entirely in this way, silvery puppet strings that more efficiently order man.
