Sure.

Space and movement would be how numbers see themselves, in case comp is 
assumed (that is in case you say "yes" to the doctor).

Even without comp, but with the weaker "everything idea" we have 
already throw out the "intelligent design" idea. The problem is "what 
is "everything"?". With comp, actually with just Church thesis, we do 
have a notion of universality which is formalism and theory 
independent. It is one of the major discovery of last century. It is 
unique in math.
