Answer (optional):
The completion of a triumvirate between ontology, mathematics, and technological hardware led to the establishment of our present-day system. It began with Felix Klein and the "wizard" Steinmetz building experimental labs inside their universities and, in the first case, with a little help from the kaiser, imposed a doctor title for engineers on reluctant German universities. Otherwise, Alan Turing could never have devised his famous mathematical machine, which, on the one hand, disproved Hilbert's Entscheidungsproblem but, on the other hand, proved that a small, although practically speaking powerful subset of the real numbers is nevertheless computable. The Turing machine, then, was, is, and will be the condition of possibility of all computers.
