Here is a nice animation by [livejournal.com profile] mrmorse of a Mandelbrot set zoom-in synchronized to a Freezepop song.

I think you have thought about this a lot harder than me and clearly have a lot more invested in the subject. :)

You're absolutely right, of course. I don't mind admitting I'm a lazy writer in LJ comments!

I'm sure you know what I was getting at--not that mathematics underpins everything, more that if you wanted to specify the universe entirely mathematically you'd been a universe's-worth of mathematics. It's incomplete. Just one useful way of looking at things, as you say.

Actually I didn't get that you were saying "if you wanted to specify the universe entirely mathematically you'd been a universe's-worth of mathematics." I pretty much agree with this, although I've spent a depressing amount of time arguing with mathematicians of a Platonic bent who would vehemently disagree with it. Thus my investment :-P

Thanks for the clarification!
