So, how does that apply to something that isn't a part of "the universe", as Formal Logic systems are not.

In other words you are saying that formal system have never

 The universe is all of space and time[a] and their contents.
It comprises all of existence, any fundamental interaction, physical
process and physical constant, and therefore all forms of energy and
matter, and the structures they form, from sub-atomic particles to
entire galactic filaments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe
 AKA *EVERYTHING* Duh !
 

But it is only ONE of an infinite number of such systems.
For instance, the Natural Numbers do not exist in "our universe" as anything physical in it.
They are PURELY a matter of thought in a universe created by the rules that generate them.
So, no where near "Everything".
