I'm not 100% sure. But don't mathematical systems or the concepts of math rest on axioms of mathetmics in a given system? Such that in an axiom as wiki:
An axiom is a sentence or proposition that is not proved or demonstrated and is considered as obvious or as an initial necessary consensus for the theory building or acceptation. Therefore, it is taken for granted as true, and serves as a starting point for deducing and inferencing other truths.
Whereas science doesn't (abe:have) much in the way of axioms?
