Bridges and transcontinental highways are universally social tools. Airplanes are mutually interchangeable human flying tools. There are metaphysical as well as physical tools. Mathematics are metaphysical tools. Inter-relevant metaphysical informations are tools.
Physical structures are tools.
Mathematics makes possible the synergetic organization of metaphysical information which can be progressively objectivized as pattern-controlling or evolving tools systems which can advantageously alter the physical environmental circumstances of human existence. All technology is governed by generalized physical laws. All of these can be physically demonstrated and mathematically expressed. Man-made laws, legal agreements, royal fiats are not tools. Man-made laws and customs are not technology.
