Long abstract	To begin with, I must thank Longo for his unusual generosity. It is extremely rare for someone to write such a lengthy commentary, while correctly highlighting a monograph’s central ideas and, on top of that, to place them within a myriad of alternative mathematical considerations. And if that wasn’t enough, Longo’s subtle, critical and ana-lytic scrutiny of what concerns my text Synthetic Philosophy of Contemporary Mathematics extends to the scope of a synthetic vision that encompasses the mathematics of biology. In many senses, Longo’s remarks deserve to be understood then really as an appendix to my book which opens it, densely and broadly, to both the natural and mathematical worlds.
