Sorry, but my interpretation of your piece of code makes more sense - you have a black box (the program) into which you can enter a number via an interface. That is the experimental parameter. You get an experimental result - the number output by your print statement. The program itself is not visible to us, only the interface. "Science" would then try to establish a law connecting the input parameter and the output, and the theory science would find after a bit of testing is: "nature" apparently always adds 5 to our number, i.e. y -> y+5. The fact that the black box performs a simple addition is not obvious, not visible by us a priori, since we do not see the code, and hence "5" is not enough to specify the law we discover.
