Your algorithm shows bugs when run into my brain, or at least is
lacking portability:

You develop circuits and software, finding the two jobs quite
similar.

I write songs and develop software, finding the two jobs quite
similar too.

Have I to plan patenting the way my melodies move?

upgrading it
