Saying the universe is “made of math” as many of the quantitative bent are prone to do is as moronic as saying it is made of cheese or of apathy.

If you study and understand any of quantum mechanics to even a basic level, it seems more likely to me that the universe is made of bullshit and crazy with a dash of “aww, hell no” thrown in.

I do agree that the universe at some levels has a strange correspondence to useful mathematical abstractions, but that is just a consequence of being in a universe where life is possible because the rules are relatively fixed. (Yes, I went full anthro on you. Sue me.)
