AFAIK a turing machine is a kind of virtual computer. Virtual computer
processing (like processing a turing machine) can be done without any
knowledge of natural law, only simple math is needed. (e.g. you could
simulate
a turing machine using a sheed of paper and a pen) Patent guidelines
currently
say that math (including mathematical proof) is not patentable. So any
given
turing machine cannot be patentable.

Please tell me that (and where) I am wrong.
