It seems to me that as long as there’s anything that is describable in the loosest sense, that would be taken to be true.
I mean, look at this, some people believe literally that our universe is a “mathematical object”, what ever that means (tegmarkery), and we haven’t even got a candidate TOE that works.
edit: I think the issue is that Morpheus confuses “made of gears” with “predictable by gears”. Time is not made of gears, and neither are astronomical objects, but a clock is very useful nonetheless.
I don’t see why “describable” would necessarily imply “describable mathematically”. I can imagine a qualia only universe,and I can imagine the ability describe qualia. As things stand, there are a number of things that can’t be described mathematically
“There is non trivial subset of maths whish describes physical law” might be better way of stating it

Example?
Qualia, the passage of time, symbol grounding..
