mmm, but the deepest intuition about the reasons behind the phenomenological properties of Jupiter (like its retrograde movement in the sky, or its colors) comes from intuition about the extrinsic meaning and intrinsic properties of mathematical models about Jupiter. How else?
Sure, it’s the perspective of observers, not reality in-and-of-itself, but that’s a fundamental limitation of any observer (regardless if they use math or don’t), and the model can be epistemically wrong, but that’s not the point (that’s not exclusively a property of math).
Just to be clear, I’ve always been speaking epistemically not ontologically.
