Abstract

The growing realization that the fundamental mathematical structure underlying superstring models is closely related to Langlands' program for the unification of mathematics suggests that the relationship between theoretical physics and mathematics is more intimate than previously thought. We show that quantum mechanics can be interpreted as a canonical method for solving pattern recognition problems, which suggests that mathematics is really just a reflection of the fundamental laws of physics.
