*BPM and note density (average NPS)
*Song length
*Patterning (see: Beyond the Universe, Thunder Light, Starlight [Macgravel])
*Stamina considerations
*Hand bias
*Flow

It's hard for an algorithm to accurately weigh all these factors and come up with a satisfactory difficulty rating every time. This is why we do it manually for now.

Only those that I bolded are objective and mathematically defined afaik. I'd like to know how you'd define the rest in a non-subjective manner.
