Pleasure and Joy

[Esquilax]

If I may presume, I would think that his assertion is that software cannot exist in a functioning state independent of hardware. Perfect code may exist in virtually any conceivable form but it does nothing until some suitable piece of physical computing hardware executes it (with one conceivable exception, I guess).

I'd actually go one step further; the software exists as an expression or function of the storage device it's attached to, nothing more. After all, how can you have computer code without a disc or drive to store it on? It has no presence on its own and, in fact, ceases to exist if you don't save it somewhere.

Pretty good analogy to the mind, all's told.
