To every human, a bottle of water is `parsed' as an object; i.e. a vessel of made of plastic, for example, containing water, that is sealed with a plastic cap. A computing device, in order to understand what an object is; it would need to parse every indivisible unit of that object. If a computer were to parse a physical bottle of water kept in front of it, it needs to go through each and every single atom in that bottle to be able to parse it by itself. >> >> the computer reacts to states. >> > > The computer only executes instructions that are > assigned to it by a human agent, and such instructions > do not differ from or transcend any already innate human > pattern. > At its lowest level; a computing device can only capture a state at a particular instance, with the ability to capture multiple states at multiple instances; limited to the storage capacity of the device. The human agency in delivering instructions can only capture a state at an instance, read the state at another instance, or jump to a particular instance; with the computing device reacting on the basis of the state at a particular instance, which makes it an automaton (ability to react on the basis of the state). There is no other instructions for a computer to work with. As someone else stated on this thread: It is just layers of abstractions on top of one another. The `reality' of a computing device is completely different from that of a human being.
