Method and Mathematics

A Method is a plan of action in pursuit of some goal.  It is thus designed to be executed, with respect to which a Theoretical operation such as examining it or contemplating it is derivative and inessential.   A Method has an inherent sequential structure, or, in other words, it is inherently Ordinal.  Thus, it is inherently Mathematical, i. e. it entails First, Second, etc.  Accordingly, the Mathematical concepts of the predominant Modern Methods, Rationalism and Empiricism, e. g. that Mathematical knowledge requires the existence of a deity, that it is constituted by static associations of representations of Sense-Data, etc., are all derivative.
