What I have been suggesting is that mathematics can be viewed as a

speculate about the existence of things lying beyond the world we
observe, but, importantly, you really have no right to demand that I or
anyone else accept your insights about such things.
I am not demanding that anyone accept any insight. The question is,
why we should accept your speculation that only falsifiable predictions
are meaningful. How do you know this is true? What evidence is it
based on? How would I falsify it?
