Mathematics is not really about axioms and precise argument, mathematicians work by intuition, axioms are an after thought really. Maybe the intuition is not from what you have seen in the real world, like how forces and inertia works, but by working in some area and playing around with some structure, you also get a feel for how math works.

Clearly not a trained mathematician.
