It’s a subtle difference but it’s the difference between how something is computed vs what is computed (i.e. the processes in place to enforce a law vs the word of the law). I’m definitely not a legal scholar but I optimize code a fair amount that computes the same thing as the un-optimized code. Take for example multiplication of natural numbers, e.g. 2x2=4, there are a number of ways this could be implemented to get the desired result, bit shifting, symbolic mathematics, heck even trained machine learning or an impl on a trinary computer. If The computation is correct the vast majority of the time great! If not, a judge can order the process be updated to implement the law. Effectively, Congress Makes the laws, the executive branch manages their administration, and the legislative branch ensures they are being administrators in accordance with the law.
