Math and Logic just exist

Authored by: SpaceLifeForm on Tuesday, October 16 2012 @ 01:02 AM EDT

Again, I repeat myself.

No one invented Math or Logic. They just exist.

And because § 101 of the Patent Act says that
it precludes patent protection for laws of nature,
and Math and Logic just exist *AS LAWs OF NATURE*,
NO implementations or expressions that use Math
or Logic should be patentable.

Do NOT let yourself be confused with Math or Logic
SYMBOLIC written systems. They are just a tool to
allow your brain to keep track of things.

For example, here are some SYMBOLIC representations
of the number commonly known as two:

2
10
II
3-1
1+1

But that is not what the number commonly known as two
really is.

The number commonly known as two is actually the
set of all sets that have that many members of the set.

You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
