It's the only system that can use itself to prove itself

Um, even the best super-computers can experience a flipped byte once every couple hundred million (or I guess every few billion) computations... Computation and mathematics are inseparable. Actually, that's a lie. Computation is an element of mathematics. Simply put, there would be no computation without mathematical laws and axioms. One cannot compute 1=1 without first acknowledging that 1 is a number. Computation is only a subset; just as the knot theory used to bind our DNA is a subset of math, or how stochastic calculus is used in finance. You can't separate the two.
