Is the fact that the mathematic difficulty of physics increases as you try to model reality more accurately due to the fact that mathematics, as a construct of the human mind, is in fact a "program", within which we are tweaking variables, that takes input in a specific language (values of variables in equations / statements in some mathematic language) in an attempt to make the output (our predictions in physics) closer to some arbitrary value (our measurments / reality).

tldr: Why is physics mathematical?
