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?

That’s the million-dollar question. Is mathematics the set of fundamental rules of the universe or is it the human mind’s best approximation of those rules? Philosophers have been debating that question for thousands of years and no one knows the answer.
