“Most programs are not write-once. They are reworked and rewritten again and again in their lived. Bugs must be debugged. Changing requirements and the need for increased functionality mean the program itself may be modified on an ongoing basis.

It is therefore more important by far for humans to be able to understand the program than it is for the computer.” NeedsWritingHumansMayMeanImportantAbleProcessHuman BeingsComputerProgramBasesOriginalsCodeAgain And AgainRequirementsBugsOngoingFunctionality Author:Yukihiro Matsumoto

“The main thesis of mind-physics holds that consciousness and matter are both manifestations of a more primary entity, and that the processes of manifestation exhibit equivalent invariances for both consciousness and matter. When the program for mind-physics is complete the subject-object dichotomy of modal logic, the polarity of concept-percept, and the antagonism between morality and technology will all come to an end.
