Will. Cogtio, Mathematics

As previously discussed here, the quantification of Will is not an extrinsic contrivance, but is an expression of the essence of Volition. For, quantification is a product of Counting, and Counting entails the generation of novel units, which is effected by Will, the principle of Diversification in Experience. Now, to doubt is to diversify, i. e. 'I doubt X' means 'X may be otherwise than it seems to be'. Hence, Cogito is, likewise, intrinsically quantifiable. Thus, Descartes has the resources to derive Mathematics without the mediation of the belief that God would not deceive him about the truth of its propositions.
