Simple explanation:

The diagram shows a hypothetical relationship between pure mathematics and a small set of fundamental concepts derived directly from the axioms and theorems of mathematics.  From this set, it is then possible to derive all possible computer designs.  Whereas this is a hypothetical relationship, we have evidence that more than one set of such fundamental concepts exists. A parallel exists to Riemannian and non-Riemannian geometries. 

The proof would depend on what one takes as a possible computer design.  The hypothetic relationship depends on an understanding of the completeness and consistency theorems as developed by Godel.  *<*>


History: The history of this conjecture has not been developed.

Nature of first principles:

The fundamental concept of the second school is that there is a type of stratification to physical reality, and that this stratification is required in symbol systems if our symbol systems are to more fully model physical reality. 

Functions provided by public management of digital property claims

The provision of a publicly owned stratum, defined with an extension of pure mathematics, on which to specify computing processes; may be possible. 

If this hypothesis is correct then each processes may be defined in an optimal fashion, as hypothesized by H. Szu (personal communication 1998).  The so specified process may be awarded property ownership shared by a public trust based on the social origin of the stratum.  In this case, the origination is from a public trust. 

This property ownership will not, in this hypothetical situation, be absolute; but will have some level of shared ownership corresponding to the pre-existing infrastructure and literatures.  The shared nature must be adjudicated.  The lenght of time for which government protection of intellectual property must also be adjudicated.
