I think snowflakes offer a better example than raindrops for emphasising the ultimately non-concrete essence of mathematics, by virtue of the uniqueness of each individual snowflake.
Also, heh, apples.
@antiracistmetal
Also, mathematics aren't reducible to logic and logic isn't reducible to mathematics, it's true. Nor to language.
But all three of these things (mathematics, logic, and language) are reducible to what the Greeks called Logos, and St. John declared, inspired infallibly by the Holy Spirit, that Logos is God.
All this to state the obvious, that the simple and eternal principle of all things is in fact the principle of mathematics, logic, and language.
