Why Does Math Describe Reality?

By Leo Gura - June 11, 2025

Albert Einstein asked the question: “How can it be that mathematics — being a product of human thought, which is independent of experience — is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality?”

Answer: Since reality is nothing but an Infinite Mind (Consciousness), the human mind — including all objects of thought — is identical to the objects of reality. Human thought is not independent of experience nor reality, human thought IS experience and IS reality. A human being is not thinking about reality, REALITY is thinking! When Reality thinks about itself it comprehends truths about itself. Human cognition is just a sub-set of God’s cognition. Cognition is not just something humans do isolated from physical reality, there is no distinction between cognition and physical reality. Very careful observation of the experience of cognition yields absolute truths about the workings of Mind. Mathematics is the empirical study of a certain kind of logical cognition. And logic is a deep ontological feature of Mind. Math describes the world so well because the world is a Mind. Logic is the mechanics of Mind. Mathematics is infinite because Mind is Infinite. Math and science are the study of the patterns found inside an Infinite Mind.

This also explains why reality cannot be understood only through math and science, since cognition is not limited to math nor science, and Mind is not limited to cognition. From this it follows that anyone who wishes to understand all of reality must use cognition that transcends scientific and logical method, quantification and formalization, and must use methods that transcend cognition itself — AND ultimately — methods that transcend sanity, since sanity is just one domain of Mind.

Math is the study of the empirical consequences of the logic of division and unity. The logic of division and unity is the structure of all mental activity, since Mind is an infinite field of infinite division and infinite unity. Number is the division of Mind. Equation is the reunification of a divided Mind. God is every imaginable division, which is every imaginable number — all held in Eternal Meta-Unity.
