All mathematics is produced by physical objects (brains, computers). Therefore the laws of physics determine what theorems are possible, and mathematics has no existence independent of our universe.

It’s all maps, no actual territory.
No, it's all territory. Maps are just small pieces of territory that happen to be approximately isomorphic to larger pieces.

I simply mean humans are incapable of directly interacting with territory, we interface purely via maps.

Maybe our subjective experience is all maps, but it's pretty easy to infer from our own experience that it's all territory, maps included.

The mathematics itself says that some of its true statements are impossible to prove or come up with. We can have maps of and talk about an imaginary territory through what’s possible for us to imagine, but constrains on that affect the math’s existence no more than its own laws

nicely put but did he claim otherwise?

That "just" is doing a lot of work given how unpredictable their interactions with the territory can be.

I think you are confusing maps and territory. What's is invented by minds are always going to be maps!
-
Yes, but maps are also part of the real world, and therefore territory.
