But why should a scientific point of view apply to mathematics? They are
entirely different subjects, with different objectives.

Remember what my basic thesis is: all of the mathematics that has the
potential to help us understand the world in which we live (i.e. the
observable universe) must have an interpretation as making predictions
about the results of computational experiments.
