Some of them are pretty useless computer software, and the ones which require
infinite data will give you out-of-memory errors, but in actual fact *every*
mathematical algorithm is a piece of computer software. This may surprise you,
and yet it is true.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

And computer software is more then the algorithms (code) that it's
composed of.
It represents someone's intention to solve a real world problem. It
makes a
computer more useful. It adds value. Why can't that value be
protected?
I'd say:
Computer software is algorithms
only.
Software represents someone's knowledge to combine algorithms to solve
real world problems.
Real world problems are in the realm of laws of
nature.
To solve real world problems, you need algorithms.
If combined
algorithms were not algorithms themselves, then they could not be used to solve
real world problems.
Using a computer will handle the algorithm faster and
provide a faster solution.
Computers make algorithms more
useful!
