We, as humans, use myths, stories, and spiritual thoughts to interoperating the world around us. However, most of our thoughts are compromised by biases. Mathematical models are helping us to create a consensus among the different segments of society. Are these models have alternatives?
Mathematical models don't always create consensus, because pragmatic considerations come into play in the adoption of a model. For example, folks may disagree about which geometry is best for representing or interpreting certain theoretical posits or observations, a question which cannot always be settled conclusively.
This isn't exactly regarding laws of nature, but it does propose an alternative to the mathematical modelling of a natural process:

Following Karl Pfeifer first post, mathematical models use simplifying assumptions to simplify complex phenomena and make the analysis amenable for mathematical computation. Such simplifying assumptions fall under the pragmatic considerations mentioned by Karl. A further point that also falls under such pragmatic considerations is the link between mathematical entities and the entities or concepts of the field of study.
