👉 False mathematics, also known as mathematical pseudomania, is the belief that mathematics is a magical, mysterious force that can reveal hidden truths about the universe, often leading to the misinterpretation of mathematical concepts as supernatural or mystical. This belief can manifest in various ways, such as attributing mystical properties to numbers (e.g., seeing 11 as lucky or 13 as unlucky), claiming that mathematical truths are discovered rather than invented, or using complex mathematical models to predict events that should be random. In reality, mathematics is a rigorous, systematic discipline based on logical reasoning and empirical evidence, not a form of magic. The false mathematics often stems from a misunderstanding of the nature and purpose of mathematics, conflating it with metaphysical or esoteric claims.
