sorry, bunch of rhetorical questions you mostly answered in the previous post!

there's arguably a paradigm shift in the understanding of how science-as-a-whole coheres, in that -- from sometime in the mid-18th century to sometime in the mid-20th century -- it was widely assumed that the "major" sciences were nested WITHIN one another, very roughly maths >> physics >> chemistry >> biology >> psychology

so that a full scientific explanation of some "law of psychology" would (eventually, given enough science) turn out to be explicable in terms of the laws of maths
