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

I take it you didn't read the thread. There would be no mathematics if there wasn't computation. If computation didn't exist, the Universe could not do work, star systems couldn't condense from the opaque gas clouds, life couldn't evolve, our brains would not function, and thus we would not be able to create a language that captures some of the underlying computational thought processes of our minds.

Math is a subset of computation, a declarative distillation of algorithmic process. Computation doesn't need math, as each element that comprises a computational process is not aware of every other element, as can be seen in cellular automata. Mathematics is emergent.
