Instruction tables will have to be made up by mathematicians with computing experience and perhaps a certain puzzle-solving ability. There need be no real danger of it ever becoming a drudge, for any processes that are quite mechanical may be turned over to the machine itself.

A very large part of space-time must be investigated, if reliable results are to be obtained.

We may compare a man in the process of computing a real number to a machine which is only capable of a finite number of conditions q₁, q₂, ..., q_K which will be called " m-configurations ".
