[...] It is true that the software processes would be indeterminate in the eyes of an external observer because he does not know everything. However, there is no such observer for software processes (see above). While the processes do not even know the situation of the overall system at the point of a Decision, they act autonomously in this respect, in a determined (data-dependent) manner, i.e. not statistically.

While the hardware structure is modeled on that of the computable functions (CPU with complex interconnected transistors, memory), the software is an extrasensory world of cooperating processes. This is so fundamental that Carl Adam Petri, one of the trailblazing computer pioneers, prophetically presented the Computer (described above as an illusion of an automatic reactive machine) as a universal communication medium as early as the beginning of the 1960s, a profound insight that has not been properly appreciated for long enough. From this point of view, one can say that a user who spends nights on end with program constructions (a so-called computer freak) is actually only communicating with himself. If this gets out of hand, as in these cases, one must expect increasingly autistic behavior, an unhealthy throwing back on one's own self: After all, the computer, in contrast to the illusion of the partner, is only a medium! It is precisely this behavior that can be observed as a matter of course! What's more, it is only by slipping back into oneself that there is the possibility of Luciferian seduction, of taking off into a (virtual) dream world, of social atrophy. If, on the other hand, users develop application software for this medium in cooperation with others, they experience a constructive and selfless, cordial openness that is not bound to personal matters, a supra-personal willingness to communicate and cooperate that has an almost factually inspiring effect, a core characteristic of supra-personal sociality.
