>>11283441you are conflating math to what math is describing.
If i say something absolutely true, A = A.
This relationship between a thing and itself has always existed, but the symbols i have used to describe it are recent inventions.
You might claim that this is different, that math does not need its symbols, that it is in fact that relationship between A and A and not how its written. This however is false, because the very nature of A = A is not a thing either invented or discovered, its a self evident thing that becomes self evident when we invent a way to phrase it.
So when math, a new concept is developed, that concept is not being invented or discovered, the way to express it is, because once expressed it is not being moved inside of your mind, but its self evident nature, once understood, was always within your mind, because it is not a thing, it is simply a way of organizing and stating what it.
Discovery implies finding something new, whereas this would be becoming aware of something you already knew, because concepts are not external things.
