Multiperspectivism of the Exact Sciences

A philosophical framework holding that mathematical and logical reality is sufficiently rich to sustain multiple, irreducible perspectives—different axiomatic systems, different foundations, different research programs. Multiperspectivism rejects the idea that there is one true mathematics. Set theory, category theory, type theory are different perspectives on mathematical structure; classical logic, intuitionistic logic, linear logic are different perspectives on reasoning. This framework demands that mathematicians and logicians be pluralists, recognizing that the richness of their subject exceeds any single foundation.

Example: "Her multiperspectivism of the exact sciences meant she worked across algebraic geometry and category theory, drawing on both perspectives—not because she couldn't choose, but because each revealed structures the other left invisible."
