I do not see how someone following your
framework would come up
with a test that allows for any
patent eligible computer-implemented
methods.
That's the whole point of the exercise. Well
established
legal precedent is wrong! Imagine the notion that running
software
on a computer magically transforms it into a new
machine. It is totally absurd!
...and that notion is
causing a great deal of grief in this world. It only
benefits lawyers and (some of) their clients, not society as
a whole. It
creates a huge false economy based on
arbitrarily granted monopolies on
abstract ideas.
If you had read PoIR's discourse in its entirety, and
perhaps followed up on the supplementary materials, you
would come to
understand that. A computer by design is a
general purpose machine that can run
any program made for
it. It doesn't magically change into a dedicated machine
when you run a program. Such a notion is an invention of
corrupt lawyers to
serve their own ends. (Note: You may take
that to mean lawyers with corrupted
thought processes,
rather than corrupted morally, if that makes it a little
easier to swallow.)
