I should not wish to argue any of these questions here even if I were competent to do so, but I will state my own position dogmatically in order to avoid minor misapprehensions. I believe that mathematical reality lies outside us, that our function is to discover or observe it, and quietly as our "creations," are simply our notes of our observations. this view has been held , in one from or another, from Plato onwards...."
"A man who could give a convincing account of mathematical reality would have solved very many of the most difficult problems of metaphysics. If he could include physical reality in his account, he would have solved them all.

'I may summarize by observing that we must distinguish three mental levels:
The personal consists of all those contents which have become unconscious either because, their intensity being lost, they were forgotten, or because consciousness has withdrawn from them, i.e., so called repression. Finally, this layer contains those elements--partly sense perceptions--which on account of too little intensity have never reached consciousness, and yet in some way have gained access to the psyche. The collective unconscious, being the inheritance of the possibilities of ideas, is not individual but generally human, generally animal even, and represents the real foundation of the individual soul.... From the collective unconscious as a timeless universal mind we should expect reactions to the most universal and constant conditions, whether psychological, physiological or physical. From the conscious, on the other hand, we should expect reactions and adaptation phenomena relating to the present: for the conscious is that part of the mind that is preferably limited to events of the moment."
