I continue to be confused about whether/when you're allowed to draw causal arrows from mathematical to physical facts.
@MemberOfSpecies Oh… weird… “Cause” seems an exceptionally vague and problematic notion, but fwiw on the whole I’d say that isn’t causal.

@Meaningness I guess I'm trying to figure out whether there's a principled reason for saying such things aren't causal. -
@Meaningness Or if it's just a matter of "physical causes are real and mathematical causes aren't real because I defined causes that way". - 1 more reply
