The fact that the same symbolic programming primitives work for those as work for math kinds of things, I think, really validates the idea…

Computer Science is a science of abstraction -creating the right model for a problem and devising the appropriate mechanizable techniques to solve it.

— Alfred Aho

As Bromberger observed, rules are understood to be elements of the computational systems that determine the sound and meaning of the infinite array of…
