Abstract
As languages, mathematics is a biological product and thus based on causal processes of two time scales, namely neural mechanisms and evolution. In this commentary, I will try to figure out possible scenarios responsible for the chick mathematics raised by the target article, focusing on discreteness and transposability of natural numbers.
期刊介绍：
Cerebral Cortex publishes papers on the development, organization, plasticity, and function of the cerebral cortex, including the hippocampus. Studies with clear relevance to the cerebral cortex, such as the thalamocortical relationship or cortico-subcortical interactions, are also included.
The journal is multidisciplinary and covers the large variety of modern neurobiological and neuropsychological techniques, including anatomy, biochemistry, molecular neurobiology, electrophysiology, behavior, artificial intelligence, and theoretical modeling. In addition to research articles, special features such as brief reviews, book reviews, and commentaries are included.
