"Software doesn’t emerge from anything. Software instructions impose order on the hardware as it (the hardware) does its physical operations. Punch cards trip switches to make dials register in various positions. The directions encoded in the cards and the calculated results are meaningless to the computer itself."
And when the machine can write its own code to better adapt to its environment, and, in adapting to its environment, begins to show distinct patterns of assessment of its surroundings, and when it can articulate such assessments? Are the directions, code and cards somehow automatically meaningless to such a machine? I think Turing would have suggested otherwise.
