They still exist, it would just be harder to get them across.
In the same way, the laws of physics would still exist, it would just be harder to understand them. Numbers don't define things, they're just our way of understanding them. Even if you claim they exist independently of agents (So it isn't limited to humans and someone doesn't bring up "Well, then aliens can think of numbers"), they still would have no tangible effect on how the physical universe works. They explain, they help us understand, and that's it.
Teague, this answer applies to your story as well, didn't want a wall of quote going on though =P
about your discuss guys a simple way to see (for me) what is the more important (maths or physics) : Which of these two subjects have been created ?. I think that the first one Had to answer has more need if it was to imagine before the second.
So in my mind physics are not useless but they was created
after the mathematics.And the math answers has much more need
immediate than the physics,in the quotidian life we use more basics mathematics than basic physic.So i agree with Aakash.
