It should even be possible to make a bit of performance art: get an old punch card machine or even a room full of people to decode a few small frames of H.265.  It&amp;#x27;ll work, it&amp;#x27;s pure math, and, under Alice v. CLS, that should make it crystal clear that the mere addition of a computer cannot make it patentable.</text></comment>
