A new idea that solves a practical problem....as embodied in a piece of
machinery.
That "AHA" moment, embodied in machinery, creating a useful result, is
*EXACTLY* what is supposed to be patentable, if it is sufficiently nonobvious to
one skilled in the art.
Not that I don't see a problem: which art? Forward Error Correction? General
software? Making smartphones?
To push the example a bit far, we have pretty good mathematical descriptions of
a laser...would you call what goes on in a laser a mathematical operation, and
therefore unpatentable?

Ideas not able to get patent, only on "inventions".
Then you apply the test, once you think it is an invention (you make it and it
works), it has to be valid under the rules of patentable inventions.
