1) I might be missing something, but as far as I can tell "scientific support" in this context seems ill defined. To the extent that it seems rather meaningless term (in this context) 2) While the vast majority of the discourse on the interpretation of mathematics oscillates (fruitlessly) between Platonism and Nominalism, I tend towards a more Aristotelian view. See for example - Franklin: An Aristotelian Realist Philosophy of Mathematics - Keith Hossack: Knowledge and the Philosophy of Number. Note that these two authors do not converge on exactly the same interpretation. Apropos: North (2021): Physics, Structure, and Reality explores the relationship between "mathematical structure" reality and theoretical physics.
