I would say "reducing to physics" means we might be able to understand it. If you define the universe by "how" the interactions take place, I would agree, it falls woefully short. But it does seem that we are a hierarchy of structure. And what is the next level becomes the question.
F=MA, really is not based in "ideal conditions". It is based on a set of conditions that we can work with. We limit the number of complexities to be able to make some predictions. But you have a point in that our understanding falls short at lower and higher masses. That doesn't mean there is magic.
I take issue with the physics "'Krauss''' when he implies that if we can't make predictions, then pink elephants could appear. That is not true. It is more that our formulas are very incomplete and we can't predict the next event. But pink elephants are not coming out of black holes. Also his "zero" notion, well, that might hold true for a "poof there it is god", but that's it.
What is time? there is no time. As you stated, we call a regular set of conditional changes a "tick". But it does not exists.
I don't agree with your last stance. It is not that it is "not physical". It is that we don't know what it is yet. Finding the higgs means, at least, particle and energy interactions is a good start.
What is this "non-physical" part of the universe you speak of? I think it just means interactions that we just don't understand yet. Like one atom having the ability to process more than one bit of information at the same time. To a "hardon" group like us, it would be seen as "not physical" if information passed through you at the same time you were you. But in actuality, it is "physical".
