Nope. Think, proof by induction.
To my mind and within the context of everything that I have already posted above, the proof by induction falls squarely in the realm of the transcendental in that it is not obviously true why it is valid even within an (arbitrarily) assumed naturalistic framework. In short, to employ it would be to rely on the possession of transcendental properties (timelessness, externality etc.) which was what I was trying to avoid doing in the case of mathematics in the first place.
