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?

Math is a human construct that allow us to think in a discrete and rules-based way. It can be applied to reality through the use of physics, which attempts to use math to describe the universe. Math by itself, however, doesn’t intrinsically correlate to anything real. It’s a language.
