          Appeal No. 2000-0168                                                        
          Application No. 08/934,393                                                  




          executed in a computer programming language of choice for                   
          application to various specific end users within specific                   
          fields of endeavor for use by professionals within those                    
          fields.  A given set of events, items and actions pertinent to              
          those fields are symbolically represented in an algorithm used              
          to program a computer.  A computer responsive to the algorithm              
          provides a logical analysis of those symbolically represented               
          events, items and actions to produce a result expressed as a                
          logical computation usable by the professional to control                   
          industrial systems within those fields of endeavor, which is a              
          useful, concrete, and tangible result.  Logical elements are                
          arranged as mathematical “statements” which describe very                   
          specific inter-relationships among the elements, i.e., both                 
          the real-world problems of industrial systems and specific                  
          real-world relationships are symbolically represented as                    
          mathematical statements to represent real world problems and                
          how they actually inter-relate, so that computer predictions                
          of the outcome of those inter-relations can be made.  A                     
          further understanding of the invention can be achieved by the               
          reading of claim 27, a copy of which is attached to this                    
                                          2
