   Hardware is a thing.   
   Software is a thing.   
   A code is a code.   
      
   Running the code is a thing.   
      
   That might make four things.   
   All in all. Or perhaps 3.5 in a way.   
      
   TTC 1 might suggest code is code.   
   Yet no code is the be-all and end-all all-code.
