That's a fab story. Thanks a lot.
Algorithms are a web of interlocking, little
clocks within larger clocks (subroutines)
that run aboard a Universal Turing Machine.
>From each algorithm's point of view, the universe
has a different speed.
Electricity supply to the UTM keeps universal time,
based on which all other computations are made.
Algorithms are like chants or mantras in that sense.
In music, the analogy could be made with refrains
(Deleuze made that connection amply clear).
