Math and time

We can view math as a future prediction mechanism. With its equations it can describe/predict how one thing will transform into another.
This makes time more fundamental than math and in fact a separate from all other dimensions.
If future evolution is not deterministic then math may not be the most useful prediction tool. 
We can try to circumvent that with special math, but still what we're fundamentally trying to do is predict the future. 
We can put equations that don't include time, but still it's going to be implied. Because every math sign, every calculation is a transformation and this implies time. 
So time is fundamental, prediction for the evolution over time is what most complexity layers do, and math is a very good tool for that, for some layers.
