On the other hand there seems to be mounting evidence that the patterns in physics match up in intriguing ways with abstractions on a conceptual level.

So in a way one could claim that concepts like integers and their properties and relationships can be more or less empirically observed in the behavior and properties of things like elementary particles such as electrons or fields.

I'm learning german and french, so I ask chat gpt to pronounce every
sentence in english, german and french. It does so with a very strong english accent. I tell it to get rid of the accent. it does so and it
sounds pretty good. However as soon as I paste the next paragraph, the
strong english accent is back. I remind it that I want it to pronounce the text without an accent and it complies. However, as soon as I go
to the next paragraph, the strong accent returns.. AAARRRRggh!!!!
