A philosophy or approach that treats complex phenomena as reducible to equations or mathematical relationships.
From 'equation' plus '-ism,' forming a noun for the philosophical belief system that reality can be expressed and understood through mathematical equations.
Equationism is the belief that everything—love, consciousness, history—could theoretically become an equation; it's both the promise and the limitation of mathematical thinking.
