Fellow Folks: I don't mind you correcting me.
When you do so, please
explicitly and concisely as possible clarify, along with your correction,
whether or not that alters the fact that software is physically present or it is
still in abstract state.
Under your corrections, I'd say it does not
alter the principal of this particular discussion thread - seeking the evidence
that software exists somewhere, somehow in physical form:
Transistor
switches are the physical item
The interpretation of the value of the
switch is still abstract
Software, as applied to the transistor
switches, is the interpretation of the value of said switches
Software
still does not exist in physical form, is therefore abstract, and is therefore -
according to existing Law - non-patentable subject matter!

"Core" memory was iron cores with windings that allowed the
magnetic bits to be flipped.
Some early computers ran directly off of a drum magnetic
media.
While those kinds of machines had registers, they didn't
have anything resembling the RAM of today's computers.
Even today, with swapping enabled, the swap space on your
hard drive is treated as a very slow extension of your RAM.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
