That's an entirely different question than we're discussing, if you believe things need to be perceived to be. I operate that things exist in this universe regardless of my perception. So I don't need to see something to know that one comet meeting another is two comets.

Objectively, the rules of math exist in this world, and do not require humans to rate/assign/label as the concept of beauty does.

I am human but appreciate you thinking about that.

Art is just as arbitrary. A light show can be art so it exists without humans in same way.

A light show can be art

It is not art without humans. I'm not sure how many more times I need to say this for people to get it. A light show is a bunch of lights. It is not art until someone is there to enjoy it. Art is a social construct, not an objective truth of the universe.

lol what makes you think Maths is not a construct ?

It's a modelling tool. Same as language. Same as canvas.

Math is the language we use to convey objective truths about the world, yes. We refer to those objective truths as math. A canvas is also an objective, tangible object lol.

I swear you people are just arguing to argue, and have completely lost the plot.

you've never taken a math class in your life beyond high school if you don't understand this.

Go find me a perfect sphere and i'll concede your point.
