can math be though of as a set of rules that describe everything that exist?

I keep on thinking that everything around us is basically just information. Be it DNA, atoms, or spacetime itself. And math is the set of rules that explain the interaction, flow and existence of this information. We did not uncover all the rules yet. Does this make sense?

Not really ELI5, but you should check out Max Tegmark’s, Our Mathematical Universe.

In it he argues that the universe is mathematical structure and everything within is mathematics. It’s a very interesting book.
