Sure, but as it is its perfect, the mathematics and basic principles I mean.
The way it behaves is far from perfect of course, and that space is the interface between the abstraction of it and the real, messy world!
Whenever I work in that space, it stands out, compared to anything else I've ever seen...
Its better than what is around.

Its also different from anything that has been around before it!
Maybe the only comparable innovation might be the spread of applied trigonometry and basic structural calculation that made the cathedrals possible, and then later the chronometers that made accurate navigation feasible...
Then again its applied, fully distributed mathematics that also is money, certainly hard to wrap ones head around even after delving into it for a decade or so!
How it works its way through an imperfect world is really fascinating...
