It's craft. But what about the math, you say. All kinds of craft demand understanding of the related math.

DEULSION. For example sewing and archery doesn't need math as must have. Same with arabic calligraphy or painting.

The math serves the outcomes, not the other way around.

That’s true for all natural sciences. That doesn’t make them mere craftsmanship.

(Not to diminish good craftsmanship, which I highly value.)

		Philosophical truths, or empirical discoveries, demonstrations are not merely crafted, they are thresholds in and of themselves. The math is always separate from the theoretical leap. We may replace math eventually with a more precise system that is non-symbolic, non modeled.
