'''Software''' fundamentally is the unique ''image'' or representation of physical or material alignment that constitutes configuration to or functional identity of a [[machine]], usually a [[computer]]. As a content of [[memory (computers)|memory]], software in principle can be changed without the adjustment to the static [[paradigm]] of the [[hardware]] thus without the remanufacturing thereof. Commonly software is of an [[algorithm|algorithmic]] form which translates into being to a sequence of machine [[machine code|instructions]]. Some software, however, is of a [[relation (mathematics)|relational]] form which translates into being the [[graph (mathematics)|map]] of a ''realization'' [[digital network|network]] (see [[VHDL]]). | '''Software''' fundamentally is the unique ''image'' or representation of physical or material alignment that constitutes configuration to or functional identity of a [[machine]], usually a [[computer]].
