Of the two, between math and code, code is the more obfuscated form of the pair. Can not most code be expressed as pseudocode? Most pseudocode as an algorithm?

Of the two, between math and code, code is the more obfuscated form of the pair. Can not most code be expressed as pseudocode? Most pseudocode as an algorithm? And algorithms as math? Math is the purer, more fundamental, less obscured form. What we do with code is adapt and elaborate the unobfuscated essence of the underlying algorithms in order to make them rotely executable by machines, and we further twist and obfuscate the essence in order to optimize the coded algorithn for its bespoke execution environment. The math underlying a given piece of code strips all of this away.
