If you had been reading any of my posts from last week, surely you wouldn't written your first point.
Unless you redefine the word "Mathematical" to mean everything, then a computer program is seldomly Mathematical in any way! Math has axioms and a syntax that is called Math. Programs are defined in a rigorous syntax of their own and that is called source code. Sometimes Math is encoded in some programs but I have never seen a program written in Math, have you? Take a look at the points I have already raised against this "Math is everything" meme and debate the point if you like BUT just stating a conclusion isn't helpful or useful.

One, is that any computer program can be likened to a mathematical system (or mathematical systems) - of some kind. Secondly, in order to talk about generating shapes, the computational objects have to refer to some aspect of a shape or some aspects of shapes or to some matter concerning shapes. The comprehension of these two facts is essential to grasping the subtleties of this kind of topic.
