「Mechanical Calculator」

"Mechanical mechanisms are algorithms of the physical world  
Algorithms are mechanical mechanisms of the virtual world"

The mechanical calculator, a precursor to 
modern digital computers, served as the 
material interface to enter the virtual world.
"Mechanical mechanisms are algorithms of 
the physical world. Algorithms are mechanical 
mechanisms of the virtual world"
Deconstructing the interplay between 
machinery and algorithms, robots and 
artificial intelligence, reveals their underlying 
interconnectedness, and their intrinsic natures 
are intertwined. As they serve as carriers 
bridging the realms of the real and the virtual, 
with gears interlocking to propel each other's 
movements.
