Whoa laddie! Mathematics is not a code, and it is not based on observation. Observations of the world might inspire a Mathematical concept which wonts for proof, but do not factor into the proof itself.
Mathematics is the study of provable truth using logic, which provides a structure for science (the aggregation of predictive knowledge through hypothesis and observation) to work with, not the reverse. Mathematics also provides a structure for the development of codes. What I think you are mistaking here is the expression of Mathematical constructs. This is a language or possibly several languages, not a code. Godfrey PS: ... PMDL == Pentax Mathematics Discussion List PPDL == Pentax Pun Discussion List ...
