Math, as the science of patterns, captures some patterns of what is. There is absolutely nothing extraordinary about it. There is some necessary order, which physicists and philosophers are truing to grasp, and the language of choice to describe physics is math. But it is only a systematized and logically structured observations of what is. What is a deep mystery for me, is that life, it seems, does not have the notion of counting at all, at least on the level of cell biology. It is uses "pure functional" molecular structures as "code and data" and message-passing as its "language", but this is quite another topic. This, BTW, is a hint to justify the principle that what cannot exist without an observer does not exist in principle. There is, obviously the notion of a distance, but not necessarily of space. There is notion of a process as a result of applied forces, but not necessarily of duration and time. Time is a derivative. Derivatives does not exist, physical phenomena do.
