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?

No specifically math has an issue called Godel’s incompleteness theorem. Which basically states that any formal math system can’t do exactly what you described. There’s truths within any system that are not provable within it, but are still true.
