mathematics is a human construct, one among many others, such as order and chaos. One of the characteristics of human constructs is the never ending battles to redefine them as is evident in any investigation of the historical uses and definitions of these ideas. while we can point to any number of ordery things that are admired, no one can point to an orderly framework that shapes our universe, well no one who does not have that flash fryed all seeing thousand yard stare that will stay with you, which is the little game we are blithely toying with in the title of the article..........as in be carefull what questions you ask, as you just might get an answer
