Why revisit the notion of computation which mathematicians have been doing for centuries and which is formally characterized as what a mathematician does with her pencil and paper. A pretty straightforward precedent laden view. But is an arbitrarily expressive mathematician with pencil and paper really the essence of computation or might there be a be a deeper more comprehensive accounting of computation that encompasses the mathematician with her pencil and paper as well as much more? The journey discovers and explores the answer.

The journey is an evolving document and will be periodically updated.

Dependency language Updated 2-9-26 to include the derivation of place value number and its arithmetic in terms of the language.
