Mathematical Idealism vs. Eastern Epistemology

On­to­log­i­cal Math­e­mat­ics Per­spec­tive:

Re­al­i­ty is math­e­mat­i­cal ide­al­ism: minds (monads) are pri­ma­ry, and space­time is de­riv­a­tive. Sci­ence’s sen­so­ry focus is crit­i­cized as delu­sion­al.

East­ern Par­al­lel:

Yo­gacara Bud­dhism posits citta-matra (“mind-only”), as­sert­ing that con­scious­ness con­structs re­al­i­ty. Sim­i­lar­ly, the Zhuangzi ques­tions:

“Am I a man dream­ing I am a but­ter­fly, or a but­ter­fly dream­ing I am a man?”
