There are many provably accurate mathematical models.

I just threw that out there for a material approach but even otherwise what is is unknownable, but what we perceive is something we can work with. And that’s the whole point: mathematics are simply not a description of reality, but a tool for understanding what we explore in reality through physics, biology, chemistry, etc., it’s a solid framework to understand the universe, but by itself it says nothing about it, it only says something about logic and understanding itself, and it’s limitations (Russell’s paradox, for instance). This is extremely useful and foundational, ofc, but all of our geniuses worked within these walls and all of our “knowledge” comes with this caveat.
