Most mathematics has isomorphism to typographical or computational rules. I'm pretty sure these can be encoded into a causal diagram which connects with the real world.

Do you mean that some of those strings are useful in modeling the "real world"? Say, by providing a way to discover further causal diagrams?

Not necessarily. I've realized I'm more confused than I thought I was.
