I am having difficulty trying to find any history in mathematics of the concept that the decimal number system is not just a product of human ingenuity. This anthropic assumption (and assumption is all that is) seems to have entirely precluded the contrary hypothesis that decimal sequence formation is as independent of human involvement as say any of the laws of physics.
Whether one believes in the anthropic/non anthropic origin of regular numerical sequence is not the question here, the question is: can anyone provide me with reference to any proponents of the significantly more obscure non anthropic hypothesis? I can't find a single example!
And since the Pythagoreans and Tegmark are embarrasingly quiet on the logical necessity of a regular unit combination (numeric) sequence causality premise in any 'Mathematical Universe' hypotheses, I don't think they really count.
