Humans should have enough humility to accept that our limited cognitive abilities probably don't define the universe. If you had a certain mutation, you might in principle discover things out of reach of my mere math perceptions. Just like my number sense apparently lets me notice things out of the cognitive reach of cats. (Or so they let me think.)
Humorously, for all we know we're surrounded by entities which can perceive a lot. But we're as aware of them as slugs are of us when confronted by our shoes...
One thing about our math sense is that it seems fairly underdeveloped in comparison to some other abilities; maybe physics is currently dominated by math because we have to work harder at it. Otherwise, the fruits would've come to us earlier.
