To bite or not to bite the hands that feed? Entropy
From Reification to Reintegration

You make a conclusion and ask questions:
<<This engagement with the physical world begins here and ends here. Now, then, it's just you. You are all alone with your creative impulse. What is your question? What will you do?>>
Have you ever dealt with the century-old problem of the ontological foundation of mathematics (ontological basification)?
Doctor of Philosophy, mathematician D. Bukin in the article "CRISIS OF THE FOUNDATIONS OF MATHEMATICS AS A CRISIS OF ONTOLOGY" concludes:
"The crisis of the foundations of mathematics is, first of all, the crisis of ontology, the essence of which is the inability to describe objects, the fact of being or becoming of which goes beyond the usual ideas about the world. Way out such a crisis state should be sought not so much in the improvement of the methods of mathematics itself, but in the renewal of the cognitive means of ontology, which do not deny the classical paradigm, but can go beyond its framework. is a historically proven method of comprehending the existence of a mathematical object in its development and relationship with objective reality."

Do you have any ideas to overcome the crisis in the foundations of mathematics, "language of Nature", and therefore knowledge in general?
"Entropy" - Comes from other Greek. ἐντροπία "dodge, trick", from ἐν (variants ἐγ-, ἐλ, ἐμ-) "to" + τρόπος "turn, turn; character”, further from τρέπω “turn, turn”, further from Proto-Indo-European *trep - “turn, turn away”. (Wiktionary)
Questionning Nature with mathematics is a hard task. Yes Nature is written in language of mathematics but to see its words one can oscillate between experiment- models-principles-tests but not only this. We can began with models and forcing mathematics to respond to results.
