Math is the language we use to write pseudo-code for the rules of the universe. It allows us to reasonably predict and share/write our understanding of the universe.
The best algorithms then match with the actual universe even if the real thing doesn’t use the math (looking at you -1, infinite points and black holes)
Math is the programming language of the universe and physics is the rule book.
Some of those rules can be bent. Others can be broken.
Wait… Kung Fu is just maths for Asians?
That’s a good way to put it.
I’d personally amend it to this though:
