Have just been re-reading that State Street
proceedings from between 94-98 and something struck me.
State Street essentially found that the requirement
for a "concrete" effect as defined by Diamond v Diehr was realised by a business
method because it related to "real world" values.
But a moment of analysis. Money is an abstract
value, it is a human intellectual concept that has been introduced as a medium
of exchange to facilitate trade. In itself a financial value is not at all
"physical" and "concrete" any more than talking about Mr. Swaggs the postman
makes him a physical entity rather than a construction of the mind- if I kill
him have I committed murder? Or if I make up a currency called the
Copyright Dinar and tell you that this email is worth a million of them- does
that relate to a real world value providing I adjust it for inflation and make
it "technical"
:-) This is the real betrayal of
physics...
Sincerely,
Christian
