The world of mathematics is only a language. The (Platonic) concepts go from simple to very complex, but at the base stands a (dynamic and evolving) language.

The real world however is far more complex and perhaps rooted in a universal language, but in one we don’t know (yet) and ultimately try to describe and order by all scientific endeavors combined.

This philosophy is an attempt to point out that you can create worlds from mathematics, but we are far from describing or simulating ‘Our World’ (Platonic concept) in mathematics.
