Let's replace what you authored with the equivalent form of instruction: the
blueprint.
And if you hired an infinite number of monkeys to twiddle knobs
then the machines may create a CPU without the blueprint as an input before the
death of the
universe.
Since the blueprint is a REQUIRED input to the
otherwise generic process of creating ICs, it is reasonable to say that the
blueprint creates the CPU.
I seriously doubt that the Supremes would agree
with your conclusion. The Federal Circuit probably would. But I seriously
doubt the Supremes would.
Oh - and before you insist blueprints are not
used to create CPUs today - I point back in history to a simpler time when the
CPU was originally designed via paper blueprints. Just because humanity learned
the blueprint design could be done differently such as with software like CAD
(computer aided design), then moved to another layer to combine it such that it
becomes instructions for a machine like CAM (computer aided manufacturing) -
doesn't change the fact:
It's still abstract!
Using another tool to
perform abstract tasks then the mind or a pencil and paper doesn't change them
from being abstract.
