Thanks for correcting this. Can you suggest an alternative wording?
What about using "computational device?"
it transforms input
into output. Newton's laws are undirected: they relate quantities
I don't believe laws have direction or relate quantities. What we use
in computations do not have laws in them.
without saying that one of them results from the other.
Is the rule R^3 = T^2 directional? Since this is a rule, maybe we
should say that physics is a "measurement system" instead of an
"algorithm" or "computational system." We define a unit to be used
with R^3 = T^2 and use this rule to measure orbits.
But the question under debate is about the input parameters. I claim
that force F is not an input parameter. Only R and T are input and
they are transformed according to the rule R^3 = T^2. So orbits are
independent of F. Do you agree with this?
