If in your math 2+2 does not give you 4 it's not reality that is wrong, but your math.

>So reality works because math works.

Reality is that the one that contains the structures not math. So what you said does not make sense.




>Reality is that the one that contains the structures not math

But math contains all physically realizable structure, i.e. all structure that can represent some feature of reality. But also structure that cannot be realized in reality, e.g. sets too big to fit in reality. That one can deduce some logical structure from observing reality isn't the deciding factor here.
