I was talking about the abstract math idea of counting up from zero. There are
no devices involved except when one does not execute the math algorithm in ones
head, but uses a pencil and paper, a calculator or a computer.
Perhaps you could explain what the lower math beneath counting up from zero is
and that might help me understand what you are saying.
BTW, I am not from the USA, but I think my fellow countryman's (Turing) thoughts
on math would not invalidate my far more rudimentary understanding.

I don't know where you live, but keep an eye on your own government. Powerful
actors here in the US are working very hard at getting EVERY country on board
with our 'retarded' patent system....[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

one could truly argue that all devices are in fact math
because
they are doing a sequential system of math.
No... You COULD
say "..all devices are in fact CPUs because..." though. But CPUs as physical
devices are patentable.
You can't patent what they do, but you can
patent how you implemented what they do.
And that negates what you said
before... [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
