​You've got it exactly precisely backwards. ​ ​Our ​ mathematical objects​ ​are only emulating (mimicking)​ computers which perform these computations.​ If you doubt this ask yourself 2 questions:

1) Does the simple emulate the complex or does the complex emulate the simple?

All universal system can emulate the computations done by all universal systems, in all directions.


2) Which is more complex, a Turing Machine or a silicon processor that obeys all the laws of physics?

Nice! You seem to agree here that a Turing machine does not obey laws of physics. But that contradicts early statements that you made.
