The way we perceive mathematics is purely subjective, though. I can tell you, after teaching children, that each child will understand and perceive a lesson a little bit differently, and that is the subjective nature of reality (imo). Each of us does exist in our own private little reality- it is true that we think we share events- but imo we never truly share them perfectly, how can we? Each of our brains is wired a little differently, our sense calibrated a bit differently, etc.

Objectivity....

>>Mathematics is another area of objectivity, as it is purely tautological and not subject to "interpretation". Software is yet another area. Some years ago I characterized software as "objective thought" and I still believe that captures something of the essence of software.

In short, the concept of objectivity is simply too useful to lightly abandon. It's like saying the Sun rises and sets. It's a useful description of that which is commonly observed.>>

....is the effect while subjectivity is the spiritual cause which proceeds forth from the End which is our ONE Lord God in Heaven Jesus Christ.
