The mathematical structure of our model of matter is only revealed partially in the world because to access information about the precise position of things, you have to apply a lot of energy, and it's an idealization. The world is constructed out of equations that contain entities such as electrons that have definite properties, and they exist in vast numbers throughout the universe.
