Mathematical science, taxonomy, and the living world

Abstract

The discrepancy between mathematical science and living world may be more complex than that was assumed by Husserl. I show that besides the modern mathematical science, there is also another science, which is non-mathematical yet formalized, an example of this science is traditional taxonomy.

It enabled deep insight into natural phenomeny, but its cost is low reproducibility and transferability. Traditional taxonomy has succesfully transformed into modern mathematical science, i.e. phylogenetics, but some features of it remain in all biology.
