So you are suggesting that a thing like broken glass is made of numbers, fine, and who knows it might even be true, but don't tell me there is no such thing as a thing, that's just more gibberish. >> By "machine" I assume you mean a deterministic process. >> > > > A machine is not a process, > Make up your mind! First you say everything is the process of "natural numbers" in "relative computations" and then you say "digital machines, which are defined in term of number relations" are an exception to this because what they do "is not a process". The sum of number relations is not a process?? None of this makes any sense to me. John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
