Your post is remarkably obtuse. By your same logic I can say a program is not executing code, it is a series of electrons moving down different circuit paths.

Your post is remarkably obtuse. By your same logic I can say a program is not executing code, it is a series of electrons moving down different circuit paths. Also true, but such behavior can be described at a higher level as "executing code." Take another example, your post could be considered a message, or it could just be considered electrons emanating from an LCD monitor and getting received by a brain, which in turn generates certain behaviors in a large meat machine. Also true, but your post can also be described as a message about the need for thinking about reality literally instead of abstractly in order to understand truth. However, if we can only access truth by talking about the world literally, then no one, ever, has access to truth. Even today we cannot describe the world literally, at all. An electron is merely an abstract representation of even more fundamental quantum physic dynamics. And, who's to claim quantum physics is really at the bottom of the reality stack? For instance, we have no idea why waveforms collapse to their particular determinate. There is something even more fundamental behind this phenomena we currently have no clue about. Therefore, by your criterion for truth, everything discussed and thought about throughout history has been nothing but gibberish, including your own post. So, clearly you do not even agree with your own claim, since you seem to think you are communicating something to us. I call BS.
