[Patents] European arguing for patenting pure math formulas

Dear Mr Aharonian,
You said:

I think you need to study some physics Mr Aharonian, quantum mechanical
wavefunctions are not physical. Quantuam mechanics is just probability
theory dealing with distributions. Quantum mechanics is only a
theoretical concept and they constitues what is called the ideal world
as an ontological level, which we do not yet master.

I can model such wavefunctions in my computers because in software you
can do anything. The ideal world of wavefunctions is just one level
of mathematical abstraction, which could be run on any computer.
Even though, If I would simulate this physical world in my computers,
I would do that rather different, removing a lot of limiting rules.

Physical objects you get first when you integrate these wavefunctions to
get their most likely position "the collapse of the wavefunction".

Hardware deals with physical objects, Mr Aharonian, don't try to mix
hardware and software! These are two different concepts.

What we call hardware is just a crippled abstraction level, a specific
realization of a specific entity. The reason the patent system was invented,
Mr Aharonian, is because of this physical world being crippled. It needs
a lots of particular skills to develop things in this world.

If you Mr Aharonian, try to do anything to cripple my perfect software
world with it's unlimited capabilites,
then Mr Aharonian, then I promise to do ANYTHING to stop you. I'll never
give up fighting you.

     Best regards
