Computation and State Machines (2008) [pdf]
I would say that the premise of this article is a bit wrong. Naturally the examples given about the language usage in physics do look odd because these are very simple examples based on the form of the writing that has been agreed on long time ago.<p>Now when we evaluate something more elaborate then we will suddenly discover that there are multiple ways to write down some very fundamental concepts. For example Maxwell equations can be written in many different forms <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.maxwells-equations.com&#x2F;forms.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.maxwells-equations.com&#x2F;forms.php</a><p>So in fact the language is a very important tool even in physics.<p>Even the author continues and defines a new language to express the relations between and in the state machines.<p>Nonetheless this is an interesting piece of the writing.
