> Having to translate real world requirements into abstract constructs that – when evaluated by a computer – model our problem domain to a satisfactory degree.
I tend to think of it as starting from abstract constructs and matching it to a known real world problem in an satisfactory degree. From that sense it didn't seem and feel so hard.
In mathematic theory it starts by defining 0 and 1 and the whole thing comes together shortly after and can be used to model the real world to an amazing degree. Software engineering in comparison are still quite straightforward even in its highest complexity.
