There’s no experimentation involved in the rules of Maths - they are a natural consequence of the way we have defined things to begin with. e.g. 2x3 is shorthand for 2+2+2, hence you must do multiplication before addition or you get the wrong answer. Also equations as we know them - with an equals sign, etc. - have only been around for less than 600 years
