# Math Is Observational Than Logical Mathematics is the study of structures. Therefore all you need for a proof are proper observations of those structures. Rather than being logical. I'm not saying that logic is not important. An ideal proof should be just a description of the structures. From the right point of view. Rather than a reasoning. From the right point of view, everything is too obvious. You don't need more than some diagrams. There is no reason to do logical gymnastics. In fact you must not do that. Because that will make the proof needlessly complex. This is not limited to mathematics. I think a good detective needs more observational power than logical power. Though thinking is seeing.
