    Neither would I suggest that the symmetry between math and inorganic
    preferences proves that God exists. But, I do think it suggests a
    connection between the intellectual and inorganic levels that may be
    explained by positing that both are products of Mind. Or, your answer that
    we are an inseparable part of the phenomena we're trying to explain may be
    right. I don't know either, but find the whole subject fascinating and
    worthy of philosophic inquiry.

    Best,
    Platt
