Alex,

We are not capable of describing anything beyond our ability to perceive it. Therefore, our perceptions and our descriptions tend to match. Hence, any theory our descriptions produce is only a function of our perceptions. This includes mathematics.

Mario's point is sharp indeed, and may never be answered.
