We have discovered a method (calculus) to mathematcally describe continuous functions of various sorts and within calculus there is a particular toolbox (differential and partial differential equations) we have built to mathematically describe systems that are changing by describing that change.
The fact that systems which change are well-described by the thing we have made to describe systems which change shouldn’t be at all surprising. We have been working on this since the 18th century and Euler and many other of the smartest humans ever devoted considerable effort to making it this good.
When you look at things like the chaotic behaviour of a double pendulum, you see how the real world is extremely difficult to capture precisely and as good as our system is, it still has shortcomings even in very simple cases.
It could even be a very simple system, as long as it produces complex behavior.
"You'll need to prove you own your apps by providing your app package name and app signing keys."
That is capital-I Insane.
If this actually goes through, there will be no option in the mobile OS market for an OS that both:
a) allows the installation of apps without any contractual relationship with any party, and
b) allows the use of mainstream and secure apps like banking
Imagination, inner voice, emotion, unsymbolized conceptual thinking as well as (our reconstructed view of our) perception.
Users have an inherent legal right to unconditionally access the full advertised functionality of devices they purchase. Any agreement after that is inherently suspect and I wouldn't be surprised to find out it was ruled unconscionable by some court if it came to that.
