Not sure about the physical world, but there's a huge difference between the software world and the literature world. There's a very limited number of reasonable ways to loop through an array of integers and add 1 to each value. There's a huge number of reasonable ways to say, "The lake is blue." The first shouldn't be patentable. The second should be copyrightable. -- Ron
