Please don't confuse math with "reality". Math as about axioms and proofs (well-formed finite strings), and is often a useful tool in mapping the territory, but it is just that, one of the tools.
Quantum Mechanics is a classic counterexample, as far as we know, in a sense that there is no deeper underlying theory that would predict an outcome of a measurement when QM says it cannot be determined.
Surely QM can't be a classic counterexample of anything.
classic != classical. English is weird...
Valid, but I've a high confidence grandparent was just a joke anyway, and classic ~ classical enough for that...
Please do not invent new abbreviations without formally introducing them first.
(Yes, I can figure out what it means, but I shouldn't have to. One should be able to use simple recognition to understand an abbreviation, without having to make any inference.)
