The trouble with mathematics is that what we mean by "truth" is different for mathematical questions ("What is the product of 3 and 5?") and questions about our material reality ("Is there a cat in this box?"). In mathematics, to say a statement is "true" is to mean it is the result of some well-defined process of computation. But in material reality, a statement being "true" means it is in some way verifiable. We cannot say anything about whether there's a cat in a box unless we actually examine the box. No amount of reasoning from first principles will get you to a correct answer.

Mathematical truths can map to material truths, but if and only if the process of computation you carry out to arrive at that mathematical truth, is in some way isomorphic to the process happening in material reality. Mathematics is not "unreasonably effective" at describing the real world at all, scholars studying the material world pick and choose mathematical constructs to use as their models depending on their effectiveness.

And you get very silly results, when you decide upon a mathematical construct to use ahead of time, and then demand material reality conform itself to your chosen ideology.
