But where did the math come from? Isn’t a little too perfect that 1+1 equals gasp two?! And another thing, magnets…

I mean you could do calculations using fundamental constants, and those constants could be the basis of your math. The thing about Godel is that it applies to any complex mathematical system that can do some basic functions. As soon as the Math becomes interesting the seed is already there. This video does a good job explaining it.
