A mark on a stick can encode an infinite amount of information. That doesn’t make it a computer.

Yeah it does. Why not? A computer is essentially just a system of inputs and connected levers. How much do you know about stuff like kernel code or writing computer programs?

Couldn't you write something that looks a whole lot like a very logical code on your stick, and use it to analyse a maths problem? What if you wanted to perform a task like multiplication by hand?

I think you’re confusing any form of data storage with being a computer.

[-] ZarkleFarkle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

No. Any form of data storage is a computer. So is an abacus or pocket calculator. You just need to make it more complicated by building up maths rules
