that's also not software doofus.
all software is math, there's no escaping it.
but yes I don't think recipes should be patentable either.
nor should telephone books (if they still exist)
or any other set of "instructions", those are all API's
none of these things are particularly innovative, none of them will spur
inventiveness or whole new fields of technology.
btw I'm not even sure that I agree that "wetware" should be patentable
either - stuff that can connect a computer with a human brain, when it comes
out, or implants. hardware only like a pacemaker sure. cyber implants that let
your brain connect with blutooth? not so much[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

True, but I think chemists would agree that instructions for
mixing chemicals are obvious and trivial and unworthy of
patenting. After all, a lot of folks blew themselves up by
mixing chemicals before dynamite was introduced, and chemists
learned from their mistakes.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
