No, there is no 'must'.

Nature will tell us how nature works. If there are mathematical 
principle involved, we will find out.

But 'mathematical principles' is not necessarily among the foundations 
of nature.

We as human beings will have most likely problems, to reproduce the 
mathematical principles of nature (supposed there are any),anyhow, 
because nature is using means, which we cannot imitate.

There is for instance massive parallel processing and infinite time, 
which are means, that humans do not have.

So, our mathematical modells need to simplify things, to allow some sort 
of meaningful calculations, while nature has all the time in the world 
and as many 'processors' as wanted.


Also our knowledge is restricted to the observable part of the universe, 
while nature can and will use all information that exists.

So our possibilities are restricted to what we can model in math, while 
nature could use all sorts of other things.
