[FRIAM] truth, reality, & narrative

[thompnickson2 at gmail.com]

I have always thought of math of any enterprise of the form, If I know or
assume that Px is true, and Logic X is correct, what other P's am I assured
of the truth of without any further investigation of the world.   Am I wrong
about that?

FWIW, I have always felt that math study requires a tremendous amount of
autosuggestion. Ok, so this proposition claims to be a theorem. Now, why is
it true?
