This is muddying the waters though, though I think you’re in good company.

I’m not sure if mathematics belongs in the sciences or art; it really has hallmarks of both.

It a modeling language that can be used to describe the universe. You don’t have science today, without the math.

Yet some of the proofs and mental exercises in pure math are almost divine; inspired in a way that resonates like a beautiful work of music.

In a way, yes, as it extends the casual/conventional understanding of the term. I'm just saying it's not done to intentionally muddy the waters, but to introduce an alternative understanding.

So, yeah, we agree!
