Experiment/proof/tradition: A proof does not refer to the physical world. (DeutschVsTradition: this is wrong.) We can perform a proof in our head, or even when we are stuck in a reality simulator in which virtual reality false physics applies.
>Simulation, >Reality, >Provability.
I 212
Traditional idea: Certain abstract sizes are not only part of the reality, but even more real than the things of the physical world.
>Mathematical entities, >Abstract objects, >Theoretical terms,
>Reality.
I 237f
Proof/David Deutsch: A proof is a physical process. - In contrast to this: size and knowledge of this size.
>Description levels, >Levels/order, >Knowledge.
Theory: the aim of a theory: not certainty but explanation.
Physics is totally understandable.
>Physics, >Explanation.
Mathematical intuition is incompatible with classical physics.
>Quantum Theory.},
