No more true than a different type of wiring harness for a vehicle should be considered a language...which is true to the same degree as the wiring of components delivers power which acts to instruct one component to perform an action.

I have far too much experience in both analog and digital electronics to be bamboozled into assigning any credence to the notion that digital instructions are entitled to any intellectual property protections which analog instructions are not.

I do not believe any software should be patentable.

I also don’t think any action done in software, a virtual world, or even physically done in a different setting than previously performed, should be patentable.

In other words, starting a restaurant on the Moon should not create new patent opportunities.
