So in a way one could claim that concepts like integers and their properties and relationships can be more or less empirically observed in the behavior and properties of things like elementary particles such as electrons or fields.
Or bricks, marbles, people etc. The natural numbers have been abstracted from reality. The laws like "the existence of n implies the existence of n+1" were so evident, that no axioms appeared necessary before Dedekind, Peano, Schmidt etc. Only Cantor's assumption of an actual set with |ℕ| being a fixed quantity greater than all numbers is not abstracted from reality.
