#2 Oneness and Mathematical Approximations

August 03, 2026
Mathematical approximations allow us to calculate / predict future that otherwise wouldn't have been possible. Like gravity equation for force -> predicts orbits, orbital patterns -> predicts eclipses, etc. Even if the predicted future by the mathematical model is not exactly as the real future, it is SOME prediction. Some > none. Approximate > no prediction at all. That is why math exists. To model reality. (there is no such thing as 1 in real life, nothing is exactly 1, in order to say something is 1 we must make it distinct from its surroundings, like 1 tree, but is it a tree or is it leaves and trunk and roots, and is the water moving through the roots from the soil also a tree? when does it BECOME a tree? what is inside the tree or outside the tree, there is no such thing as 1 in real life because everything is connected). So math itself is a made up concept to model or simulate reality as closely as possible to do calculations and make predictions about reality that are "ideal", because real reality can't be modelled because it can't exist as something separate from itself. Separation means reality is lost, but it is still useful enough to do things like calculate the amount of gas by how much pressure it exerts at a certain volume, or how much something might weigh on the moon given the ratio of masses of earth and moon, or how much fuel might a rocket need to escape earth's gravitational pull (sorta incorrect statement, but again, "approximately" escape is the keyword).
