Editing Where Mathematics Comes From (section)

==''WMCF'' definition of mathematics==
Mathematics makes up that part of the human conceptual system that is special in the following way:
:It is precise, consistent, stable across time and human communities, symbolizable, calculable, generalizable, universally available, consistent within each of its subject matters, and effective as a general tool for description, explanation, and prediction in a vast number of everyday activities, [ranging from] sports, to building, business, technology, and science. - ''WMCF'', pp. 50, 377

[[Nikolay Lobachevsky]] said "There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world." A common type of [[conceptual blending]] process would seem to apply to the entire mathematical procession.
