The exemplary case of thinking occurs within the sciences. Re: "math exists independent of the universe": For an alternative view, see the concluding chapter of Davis & Hersh's The Mathematical Experience: "Mathematics is not the study of an ideal, preexisting reality. But it really doesn't do justice to programming (aka coding). In the book The Mathematical Experience, the chapter on symbols mentions computer programming [1]. Obviously the center of metaphysics. Scientists, mathematicians, and philosophers prefer simpler explanations and shorter stories; and what could be simpler than the null universe? Because, well, maybe there needn't have been. This language establishes an expectation for evidence of student growth toward proficiency in each of these eight practices as part of the K–12 mathematics learning experience. Mathematician's relationship with the general public most closely resembles “bipolar” disorder – at the same time they admire us and hate us. The science of physics consists of theories, concepts, mathematical formulae, technical apparatuses, and experiences.
