I agree. But, there is a large part of mathematics which do not relate to phenomena. You might argue, for example, that prime numbers are found in Nature, in the Fibonacci series. But a glance at a copy of Dictionary of Curious & Interesting Numbers reveals something called Graham number, which cannot be expressed at all using conventional notation, or powers of powers. There is an interesting chapter in “Pi in the Sky” by John Barrow, entitled transhuman mathematics. In it, the author asserts that there are non-computable functions. It was published in 1992
Even the philosophy of mathematics is a wide subject and who can say they have mastered it?
