An apology to Paul Dirac.

The basis of mathematics is "one"
But "one" does not exist in reality
It remains a construct of the mind.
Mathematics is a product of psychology
Patterns and rhythms that seem godlike
Even to some, music to our ears
Patterns we can hear and enjoy, comfort
Comfort reflecting more what we seek
Mathematics being the sign of divinity
A divinity that we seek as comfort to our search

Perhaps physics is all wrong, we need to examine our psychology first as post-modernist scholars before predicting the behavior of gods..
