Not disagreeing, I just wanted to suggest that the ideas come first, right? The math simply frames the ideas in a way that we can quantify and discuss, while also providing a "line in the sand" that other ideas must be compatibile with in order to be accepted among other the ideas that have already crossed that line. Those are very important things, but I would suggest that they are merely supporting an original idea that does not require math to intuit.
