On Purpose

On Purpose -- ThinkingOutLoud DonaldNoyes 20080127 20140711

A new CompoundWord? having one or three meanings:

• That which is following a plan or scheme which is projected as being accomplished by sequential and/or parallel processes.
• That which is accomplished in a way intended, (Software: IntentionalProgramming) not the result of accidental, incidental, or trials.
• ....

Q: Does that mean there is UnintentionalProgramming?, in which applications appear by accident? ("I dropped three boxes of punchcards, ran them through the reader, and out popped a new operating system!")

A: If that's what happened, it would be a great surprise, similar to a thousand monkeys, with laptops, working together and producing the same thing.
