Lol, mathematics is nothing but a physical construct. It only manfiests itself in writing, neural firings in our brain (thoughts), and so on.

You can define it in any way you want. What matters is what kind of definition will lead to the best results, and allow us to construct the most predictive theories possible for the real world.

Nobody defends ZFC as foundation, you're making stuff up
