This is almost my favorite way to explain Plato in one sentence.
Now with "pythagorean-plato" (discussed in Plato, but even more by the
neoplatonists), the question is open that the "ultimate reality" is the
reality of the numbers law. Note that after Godel-Turing-Post-Church...
, betting on our own consistency, we know, at least, why and how such
an ultimate reality (numbers) is forever unattainable (contrary to the
pregodelian, leibnizian old belief that "number" are easy to get
through.
I mean "natural number" (real numbers or complex numbers are terrible
simplification tools, unless you define the trigonometric function
which reintroduce the natural numbers in the "real" or "complex"
picture.
