Is Math immaterial?

And if yes, how can something immaterial define everything about the material world?

because autists can't recognized that the whole universe is designed, the whole freaking thing is a THOUGHT. God = Logos, the WORD then became FLESH. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Mathematics are the abstraction of multiplicity and its consequences.
When you notice there's something in common between two rocks, two days, and two wolf howls, you can abstract out that thing they all have in common, label it "two," and begin deducing truths about it.

No, math exists as patterns in human brains. There are no "immaterial" things, the concept isn't even coherent.

Listen. Math is a lot more than counting rocks and imaginary patterns humans see. The fact that we can accurately describe everything from the movement of stars to the probability of things so small they don't even take space being somewhere with this language that is Math tells a lot about the Universe. If Math is just a human observed pattern or just something that logically derives from counting rocks, then we should have already found out that this mechanism doesn't work to describe reality at a fundamental level. But as it turns out the same human observed pattern that can be used to count rocks can be used to describe both biggest and smallest, everything of all colors, shapes, sizes and origins. Math is everywhere. It's the digits I'm typing, the binary code of the software you're running, the quadrilateral shape of this reply's box. It's obviously something material. But at the same time, Math can be said to be immaterial. Numbers and Pure Math formulas don't need space-time and/or energy-matter to exist. Numbers and formulas, Math in general, is something immaterial. It's what gives material things its materiality in the first place. So I think Math is something completely immaterial but at the same time it defines this material reality (if it can be said to be material at all).

I already wrote "and its consequences."

How could it be any other way? If mathematics didn't apply in different situations it would mean we lived in a retarded inconsistent dream-like world where logic and causality don't apply.

I think we're getting a little off topic here. Look, what I'm trying to say is that Math is immaterial. Here's an argument for that idea. Numbers don't exist. Try to think of a number. Any number. From 0 to 10. Got one? You're probably thinking of the numeral, for example, if you thought of three, you're thinking of that drawing of a horizontally inverted E. Numbers, formulas, they don't need on the existence of spacetime or energymatter to be real. So, Math is immaterial. But at the same time it has many material implications. Like every single thing about the Universe. How come? How can something immaterial give birth to something immaterial? Does that mean we're really just living a dream and none of this is real, at all? I think Math is the greatest mystery of mankind. I like to think of Math as god itself. Not a humanoid god, but certainly an omnipresent creator. I can understand how you might think I'm crazy, but it makes a lot of logical sense to me.

Is anyone arguing numbers are material? Abstractions aren't material.

Because you have the cause and effect backwards. Abstractions are derived from specifics, specifics aren't created by abstractions. Because physical reality is consistent and quantities don't magically increase or decrease in the absence of a cause for increase or a cause for decrease, we can trace out the consequences of numbers abstracted away from the specific material details that play out in the real world.
Abstraction lets you focus on one aspect of real world things while intentionally ignoring everything else so you can work more intensely with that one aspect on its own.

Read "Where Mathematics Comes Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics into Being" by George Lakoff.

Math is an intricate and minimalist system of conceptual metaphors for describing and predicting our everyday experiences. What makes them interesting and so successful at describing external phenomena is the fact that the framework their based on automatically constructs a rich theory of implications that would not have been obvious or even conceivable if stated in a nonformal language.

Think of math as a toolbox for collating information about the external world, and each branch of math as a device calibrated for certain types of information.

Sorry but numbers are material objects.
