Alternatively, all of nature can be explained by mathematics, rather then being based on it.
One, Mathematics is the language of nature. Two, Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. Three: If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge. Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature.
Literally everything ever has patterns that emerge as soon as you start looking for them. Math is only the "language of nature" in that the entire idea behind mathematics is that is must be consistent, otherwise it's just useless.
Basically, math deroved from the universe (specifically our study of it), and not the other way around.
