Last centuary Alan Turing proved that any computer algorythm is a mathematical theorem. Godel proved that any theroem can be represented and manipulated as an integer.
Only a few years back, substantially weaker minds invented the DMCA; America’s Digital Millenium Copyright Act - legislation that makes it illegal to bypass copyright controls on digital media. This law makes posession and distribution of programs that break copyrights illegal.
So logically if programs are equivalent to theorems which are equivalent to numbers then a number equivalent to an illegal program must also be illegal? If all that holds true then this guy has discovered the first illegal prime number.
