Newton developed the mathematics of calculus to solve physics problems. That goes against Wigner’s hypothesis. I believe that it is difficult to pinpoint where inspiration comes from. However, mathematical rigor can often help. You could also argue reductionalistically that, since we all live in a physical universe, we are always inspired by something physical.
