true, but also for some math isnt a model but a discoverable part of nature. depends on who is doing the philosophical arguing there. we dont know for sure, ironically because of godel? therefore its a true part of nature?

As with many such philosophical arguments, I think it's useful to split the word into two definitions, and the philosophical argument vanishes into a semantic argument. There are two definitions for mathematics. One definition is the rules that have existed as long as time itself, and the other definition is the subset of these rules that humans have discovered.
