The ultimate proof of the paradoxity of patenting is as follows:

  1. Take the full definition, in any given language (such as English) of a patent, or similarly expressed idea.
  2. Encode it in any given encoding (such as Unicode UTF-8 or Keiji's compact base64 encoding).
  3. Read the complete string of discrete quantities as a single number.
  4. Notice that no number can be owned by anyone, and the reverse process of 1-3 above can be applied to obtain the original definition from this number.
  5. Therefore, it is impossible to own (and thus patent) anything which may be expressed entirely in writing.
