I believe "The most often used universal algorithm the instruction cycle
implemented in the hardware of every stored program computer."
should read

An old joke, and both Groklaw and common sense show that it is usually untrue,
but it still springs to mind.

A decimal clock would require new clockwork a since the
minute hand on a regular clock revolves 12 times for each
revolution of the hour hand.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

These are errors I found. I have probably missed a lot.
The interesting read made me lose focus on proofreading...
gate the depending on which -> gate depending on which
It is not clear from the wording just before "summary of
part 1" what Collins' second error is. Please clarify.
Some of them like bytecode interpreters are
-> Some of them, like bytecode interpreters, are
terms like mathematical algorithm and abstract ideas
-> terms like "mathematical algorithm" and "abstract
ideas"
The term "synechdoche" is very uncommon and probably unknown
to most readers. Try to use a smaller word if you can.
Footnote 2: This are incorrect -> This is incorrect

Maybe programming the computer requires defining the data, or
Programming the computer requires one to define the data.
In any case, the starting point isn't terribly good engrisch...

A mathematical formula is, *per definition*, a series of signs written using a
particular sign-vehicle. The courts may or may not understand this, but
mathematicians do understand this.
Several of the statements made using semiotics terminology in this paper *are
the same* as the statement that a computer program is a mathematical formula.
The author clearly knows this but has gotten confused.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

examine the internal of computers with debugging tools -> examine the
internal states of computers with debugging tools
because it has a
semantic defined by -> because it has a semantic meaning defined
by
algorithms are used in computer programming programming
-> remove redundant "programming"
the gas pedal and the pedal -> the
gas pedal and the brake
pedal

I have noted among speakers of English as a Second
Language they will often
use the infinitive where the gerund
is called for. Undoubtedly this is because
that is the
proper verb form in their native language. I know for a fact
that
with Spanish and Portuguese (a language I speak) one
must use the infinitive
where we would use the gerund in
English. I have made a note of every
instance...
Programming a computer requires to define the
data.
"to define" --> "defining" - using infinitive verb form the
when you
should be using the gerund.
Alternatively: "requires one to
define"
Law professor Professor Kevin Emerson Collins has
suggested
to use semiotics to reinterpret the printed
matter doctrine as a sign
doctrine.
"to use" --> "using" - using infinitive verb form the when
you should be using the gerund.
This distinction allows to
recognize when
something is a sign.
"to recognize" -->
"recognizing" - using infinitive verb
form the when you should be using the
gerund.
Alternatively: "allows one to recognize".
Collins has
proposed to apply semiotics to the
printed matter doctrine.
"to
apply" --> "applying" - using infinitive verb form the
when you should be
using the gerund.
This requires to consider the novelty and
obviousness of individual claim elements during section 101
analysis.
"to
consider" --> "considering" - using infinitive verb form
the when you should
be using the gerund.
Alternatively: "requires one to consider".
I
think a semiotic framework allows to define
precisely what 'significant'
means.
"to define" --> "defining" - using infinitive verb form the
when
you should be using the gerund.
Alternatively: "allows one to
define".
But an integrated circuit doesn't allow to
reconfigure
the conductor
"to reconfigure" --> "reconfiguring" - using infinitive
verb
form the when you should be using the gerund.
Alternatively: "allows
one to reconfigure".

How do we know they aren't count of apples in a grocery inventory
program?
should probably be
How do we know they aren't
a count of apples in a grocery inventory program?
or
perhaps
How do we know they aren't the count of apples in a
grocery inventory program?

Accidentally-repeated word:
He has analyzed the core printed
matter cases. He found found that all these cases could be reinterpreted
as what he calls the sign doctrine. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
