It cannot be mathematically specified because there’s no way to formalize the statements.

Also code is a mathematical object, but running code (the process) is not because it’s just electricity in metals and semiconductors. We modify the voltage somewhere and that leads to a transformation (light in displays, sound in speakers,..) somewhere else. We do have models for all of this but they are approximations, not the real representation.
