Math is completely abstract and the base rules and mechanics of it are some of the most clear cut and formalised because that’s the entire point of the subject.

Biology is the complete opposite of that.

What if you could solve this bottom up, e.g.: Math -> Physics -> Chemistry -> Biology. I'm assuming that's how it would in theory play out.

Nonsense. This is like when people used to say "AI will never be able to write code as good as a human!" Biology will become a solved problem.

we do have high precision microscopes that can see molecules, so it is possible to build closed system with feedback loop that feeds back into AI at very small scales
