The Relational Data Model for Mathematics.

All of our mathematics is related to our lives (or that of animals, or plants, or space). Otherwise there is no point in doing the math!

We derive a 'relational data model' with entity relationships for our math. Thus we can make useful decisions based on our math. But a computer, doesn't have a data model it lacks an entity relationship for its math (a meaning), and that is why it doesn't 'understand' what it is doing, because it is simply a machine and cannot really comprehend anything except what is programmed to it in advance. To create meaning requires a data model network which relates itself to the mathematics of the computer. So perhaps we should create computers which create 'data models' of their mathematics to create some intelligence? Maybe we need to teach a computer to count using a relational data model?!
