Examination/verification/testing/natural law/Genz: the recognition of natural laws also presupposes that we can determine the consequences of suspected laws and compare them with experience.
>Natural laws.
Mathematics: we need mathematics to determine experimentally verifiable consequences.
>Mathematics.
