The point of mathematics is that in it we have always got rid of the particular instance, and even of any particular sorts of entities. So that for example, no mathematical truths apply merely to fish, or merely to stones, or merely to colours.

Mathematics is thought moving in the sphere of complete abstraction from any particular instance of what it is talking about. Alfred North Whitehead		Wednesday Mar 18, 2026
