Existence itself is an emergent property of mathematics?

Math is coded in our minds

>he fell for the math is objective meme
Let me give you a specific example. You know that 0^0 doesn't actually equal 1 right? The methods humans have constructed can't deal with 0^0. 0^0=1 is simply an agreement between *most* mathematicians.
When you enter 0^0 into a calculator and get 1 in return, it's not actually calculating anything. It's just returning a preprogrammed answer. In the same way some calculators will return division by 0 to infinity and some as undefined

Then maybe Gödel's incompleteness theorem can be applied to the universe itself just like in mathematics. There are things that cannot be proven or known unless you are outside the system, but if the system is all encompassing then it is impossible to prove.

Is 0^0 one of these or is it just something we've not gotten round to grasping yet?

>since the entire universe is governed by the laws of mathematics

You are overthinking this too much.There are no mathematical laws just definitions, axioms, and theorems. These are all man made constructs. Also, mathematics does not govern the universe. But, math is useful to explain how the universe works.
mathematics does not

0^0 doesn't exist outside of "the system" we've made. There's no absolute truth waiting to be discovered

"How many functions are there from the empty set to the empty set?"
"How many strings of length 0 are there when the alphabet used has 0 characters?"
"What is the value of the product [math]\prod_{i=0}^b a[/math] when both a and b are 0?"
All of these give the correct answer for 0^0, namely 1. Saying "0^0 = 1" is no different than saying "0! = 1" - it's just how empty products work.

How do you figure on the third one?

The sum over a set of 0 elements is 0, because 0 is the additive identity. This is why a*0 = 0 for any a, and why 0 can be considered a triangular number.
Similarly, the product over a set of 0 elements is 1, because 1 is the multiplicative identity. This is why 0! = 1, and why a^0 should be 1 for any a.
