philosophy -> math -> computer science -> engineering. That's the traditional hierarchy from an educational perspective on one end to the other, as far as I visualize it. Everything has to start in the brain and be cognitively teased out to become the [math] part. The traditional scientific method then realizes it within the scope of the math foundation, that then in my world gets manifested into a software realization that can do mechanical things, and then it drives the physics and rubber-meets-road physical texture of it all. The realization of science always starts with a cognitive idea and general philosophy of one's ability. As Sheldon would say, "I have a general working knowledge of everything in the Universe."
