This is one of those things that would explode your head if you thought to deeply about it.
Technically math was invented. The world could exist without it, though this is completely unconcievable at the moment, and I won't even try to venture into it.
Think of it as the object of money. We don't need money. It's simply paper we put value on. There are no fees and expenses, they've all been made-up. Nothing says we can't run this world without money. We could build things, and there'd be no expenses, because money didn't exist. But, we can't because of human greed.
