Holy fuck I feel so enlightened

YOU CAN DO THAT? HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN THAT WAY??

I think you're right.

I would describe it more as the following structure:

- Sociology needs psychology and by extension it therefore needs: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math.
- Psychology needs Biology and by extension it therefore needs: Chemistry, Physics and Math.
- Biology needs Chemistry and by extension it therefore needs: Physics and Math.
- Chemistry needs Physics and by extension it therefore needs Math.
- Physics needs Math.
- Math is logic.

Therefore Math is the most pure because it doesn't need anything else and sociology is the least pure as it needs the most help.

I know this is sorta the same, I just didn't like how the former dude divided the different sciences in: "Pure/factual" and "inaccurate" because I feel like that simplification wasn't in the spirit of the comic. I feel like it is supposed to be like a staircase with each science representing their own step towards purity.

This is of course a gross over simplification in general when you view the natural sciences and I wouldn't really compare Math to other natural sciences as much as I would compare it to Philosophy (Considering Math has nothing to do with experiments, it is just a tool to used by other sciences to express a phenomena. Whereas Math is a way to view the world with absolute logic).

it's a fact

What is?

idk you mentioned me

a metaphor for you:
mathemathics makes the tools and materials to build a shed.
physics plan the construction of the shed
chemistry assembles the shed
biology places the shed where it's supposed to be
psychology finds out what the shed should be used for.
sociology fills the shed with tools.

I'd switch mathematics and physics, but essentially yes.

In the picture, the field of study on the left is essentially an applied version of the one preceding it (to the right). For example, psychology is driven by biology, so it's just applied biology. But biology is basically just the result of chemical reactions, so it's just applied chemistry. But then chemical reactions are basically just particles interacting via the laws of physics so chemistry is basically just applied physics.

And everything at a fundamental is just mathematics, which is why it's considered so much more "pure" than the others.

basically.
chemistry, physics, and mathemathics are very "pure" sciences, because they rely on cold hard facts. everything is measurable and calculatable.
almost everything can be calculated before even doing a single experiment.

biology, psychology, and sociology are so called "inaccurate sciences"
because they rely on interperation, surveys, and generally have the issue of being reliant on humans and animals, both of which are flawed and never 100% predictable.
chemistry is less "pure" than physics, because the chance of human flaw is increased, due to humans handeling the chemicals. there can be contamination, wrong dosage, etc etc.
physics are pretty much the most pure science. as it's almost entierly mathemathical calculations of what will happen. mathemathics is the most pure field, because it's literally just the study of the tool, rather than the application of the tool, in order to study other things.

all of this said as someone that plans of studying biology, psychology, sociology, and history.

a field being "pure" does not mean it is more important, or in any way better than another, it simply means it does not vary based on the people involved.

Any impurities in measuring instruments would have the same probability in both fields, as they both require measurements. Therefore such a potential flaw cannot really be levied against physics alone.

I would describe it more as the following structure:

- Sociology needs psychology and by extension it therefore needs: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Math.
- Psychology needs Biology and by extension it therefore needs: Chemistry, Physics and Math.
- Biology needs Chemistry and by extension it therefore needs: Physics and Math.
- Chemistry needs Physics and by extension it therefore needs Math.
- Physics needs Math.
- Math is logic.
