Fair! I implicitly assumed that physics and mathematics are isomorphic (as speculated by Dirac in the essay). And so from this assumption, and my first sentence, the second follows.

I am by no means an expert on this, but intuitionism [1], one of the major foundational philosophies of mathematics, does view mathematics as an invention of the human mind, and as the "one true language" we use to communicate with each other. Physics then, is also "just", a mental creation.
