>They are all invariably hand-wavy and never seem to explain things from first-principles. For first principles, you'll need to talk to the designer - scientists only have runtime profilers and guesswork. Even the guesswork isn't complete - there's no unified theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything) so it is kind of weird to ask everything to trickle down from first principles, IMO.
