In 1910 Alfred North Whitehead collaborated with Bertrand Russell on a piece of work called principia Mathematica.The purpose of their work was to establish a firm logical basis for the foundation of mathematics. Essentially what this means is that through a two part theory mathematics and logic can be proven to be the same because both have an equal role to play when it comes to the truths of our reality. Thus Logicism was created, this theorizes that mathematics and logic are the same. -

Alfred North Whitehead February 15, 1861~December 30, 1947
Alfred North Whitehead had a belief in which the process of our mind were the reasoning for the way we experience the world in the ways that we do. Therefore this belief stands to say that nature doesn't deserve credit for the way it is perceived but instead the human mind should since experience sensation is a quality of the mind and solely the mind. Based off of the "Fallacy of misplaced concreteness" in "Process and reality".
