This is a guy who have filed a patent on pure mathematics https://patents.google.com/patent/US4809202 https://patents.google.com/patent/US4809202 and it was nowhere near original, compare to https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0167278984902550?via%3Dihub https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0167278984... and the folks 'round here are not hot on software patents and this is much worse.
