Alright, here is an attempt to be a bit more intuitive, but you still need a little bit of math -- it can't be explained without it.
Do you agree with me that negative numbers do really exist in nature? For example, you can't model opposing electrical charges without negative numbers (or a minus operation, which is the same thing as adding a negative number). As two opposing charges cancel out, you need negative numbers.
So, negative numbers are a kind of "space". But how do we explore that space if we assume we may only use rotations? If all rotations lead to a positive number (like e.g. a quarter rotation corresponding to a value of 0.25 and a full rotation to a value if 1, and it repating thereafter -- you see there is NO negative number here), you cannot explore that space. It follows, there must be some operation involving rotations that leads to that space. That space is the rotation I mentioned. You need a double rotation, because a simple rotation allows you to explore that space of negative numbers. After one-and-a-quarter rotations you are NOT back at 0.25 again, you are at NEGATIVE 0.25. And so on.
This is related to the math topic of spinors and imaginary/complex numbers. But this requires undergrad math.
Ultimately, reality is an implementation of various math facts. Isn't it the same thing as saying "reality is math", but that it behaves according to math.
