I've always felt that it's the natural organic biology of the universe that dictates its shape and behavior, and that mathematics merely describes that shape and behavior, but in no way drives it.
Stated differently, mathematics is merely a theory which happens to fit the facts.

Mathematics is how we understand stuff. Whatever stuff that is, we can only grasp it mathematically. A perfect example is vectors. If you try to draw something in 9 dimensions...well, good luck. But you can express it just fine using vectors.
