From a mathematical point of view, what are electrical circuits?

What exactly are eletrical circuits as mathematical objects?

It seems quite intuitive to me, that they are geometric realization of some graph with some additional structure.

Another thing I notice is that application of KVL and KCL together turns this graph to a system of linear equations.

$$\text{circuit} \to^{KVL}_{KCL} \to \text{linear eqtns}$$

All sites I look online eg: Wiki give me undetailed answers.
