There is one other aspect of this I think is interesting to consider as a neuroscientist. From my perspective all our thoughts and concepts correspond to some activity of neurons in our brain. And our brain is an evolved organ which evolved to help us predict the environment and act in ways that propagated our genes.
So in this sense logic and axioms are fundamental arrangements of activity that help us achieve that goal.
Something to ponder.
