Then how would you descibe such a model, except by using the language
of mathematics? Would you prefer a bunch of mindless arm waving, that
that cannot make any predictable results nor be subject to
experimental tests?

Hate to tell you this my young, ignorant friend, but analytical
results with predictable and measirable consequences is what science
is all about. If you believe otherwise, you are posting in the wrong
newsgroup.
The simple fact is that if you cannot calaibrate your model in
meaningful parameters capable of being measured, and accompany them
with some sort of a relation****p (mathematical or otherwise) that can
be employed to numerically make meaningful predictions of results,
then you don't have any model at all.
Without this, all that you will have is a bit of meaningless words and
arm waving, similiar to that of one of today's presidential
candidates. It will fool some people into believing that you know
what you are talking about, but the wind will go out of your sails
once people realize that all you are selling is hot air, which cannot
put food on anyone's dinner table!
If you cannot hack the details or math required in science, then for
heavens's sake get you lazy ass out of the scientific kitchen!
