If the cited cases from the MPEP are not Supreme related - and you're unwilling to review Supreme precedent on the matter - then it'll take time (probably at least a number of articles later kind of time - most likely years) before I'm likely to come across a ruling by the Supremes that will help clarify the situation.

Next time I review one of the primary cases used to support "software+computer=non-patentable subject matter" I'll try and keep such definitions in mind to see how the Supremes may have already clarified the definitions.

Later (possibly today, possibly not till the weekend) I'll review the MPEP source you cited to see if anything they cite points to a Supreme Court opinion.
