| An example:
The ratio of the circumference to diameter of a circle,
it just
exists. Does not matter where you are, or who
you are. It does not even matter
that anyone even
exists that can appreciate that that ratio is a
transcendental
number. It just flat out exists.
It is a law of nature.
As to the logic side,
well, that should be obvious
to many of us here, but for those that are
not
familiar with
boolean logic, you will find the basis of all
computer software
today.
Note the tie between logic and math:
Here, x and y can only have
the values zero or one,
i.e., TRUE or FALSE.
In summary the
three basic Boolean operations can be defined arithmetically as
follows.
x∧y = xy
x∨y = x + y −
xy
¬x = 1 − x
Those read as
follows:
x AND y is the same as multiplying x and y.
x OR y is the same
as adding the two and subtracting the product.
NOT x is the same as
subtracting x from 1.
Everything in computing is built upon
the above.
But not one invented the reality behind math and logic.
This
is not to say that there have not been great
discoveries,
and great
development of descriptive systems,
i.e., written notation systems (ex:
algebra and calculus),
but the underlying reality is that
NO
ONE invented math and logic.
They just exist, ready to be
learned and understood.
Ready to be applied.
Computer software is just
*applied* math and logic.
It is absolutely in no way deserving of a
patent.
