Comment on The Unknotting Number Is Not Additiveparent

Mathematics is a philosophy that focuses on the study of logic. It's a bit of an exaggeration to conflate mathematics with 'truth' in an absolute, universal sense.

Mathematical 'truths' are themselves only true in the sense that they can be derived from axioms.

The fact that mathematics can be used to understand the world around us is nothing short of a mystery (or a miracle).
