If there was no reason as to how or why, said action/object would never have occurred/existed. Although the human mind may not be able to comprehend as to why/how something occurs/exists does not make it void of reason. Therefore, since it exists/occurs, it is rational.
As to find out the reason why/how, go study the mind and how it works.
Your reasoning is flawed to the point where it's unworkable. The world is not governed just by mathematics, it's governed by a lot of disciplines, including biology, chemistry and physics. However, much more significantly than that, the world is governed by the actions of LIVING BEINGS, both human and non-human. Are you truly going to say that the actions of a rabid dog that mauled a child are "rational?" As for human beings, there is giant documentation spanning nearly all disciplines that documents the irrational and illogical workings of the human mind. There are many times when we do things without reason, and even if the illogical reasoning behind such actions is held to be "reasoning," (it often does not qualify as reasoning of any kind,) it still wouldn't be rational. In its ultimate extension, nuclear war is not rational on any level, but there have been times in history when it had been a genuine possibility.
If we were truly rational, we wouldn't be a "human race," we'd be an "ant colony."
