You tend to redefine words and phrases to suit your purpose.
"since it's pure abstraction - something that can be done with the human
mind - it's not patent eligible subject matter"
1. That is not the definition of abstract.
2. Even if it were, that definition does not apply to the invention I
described. The received signal is stored in the receiver. There is no way for
a human mind to process it.
"And it shouldn't be. Because the purpose is to promote the sciences:
Exchange knowledge to the public for a limited monopoly on the specific
implementation1 of an invention
That is supposed2 to mean that people can think and process the information
freely. The Supremes3 themselves have said that if it can be done with pencil
and paper it's not patent eligible."
The public is free to use the invention when the patent expires. The
sciences are promoted because the patent system creates a creativity race. You
snooze, you lose. Not by allowing people to use the invention or disclose
information upon publication.
