Software Generalist

John Earman was one of early proponents to re-cast philosophical questions about space and time as mathematical conjectures within space-time mathematical language. (*) Any computation is some kind of abstract space of moving instruction pointers against memory spaces guided by discrete time. Therefore, a software program can be considered as some space too. All possible software programs can be aligned on another abstract space dimension, for example, consider all possible variations of a memory space coding possible software programs.
