How are we commanded and how does creativity arise if algorithmic and classification systems are pervasive in the world in which we live? I will try to answer this question by briefly tracing the history of formal calculus techniques in mathematics and the development of informatic machines. It is the very grammar of these machines that demands to represent their products as data that pre-existed their collection, obfuscating their constructed character of . I will try in this text to dispel the myth of a purely circular operation of algorithms by analyzing what remains outside the loop.
