The Analytical Engine [Charles Babbage’s visionary computer] has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It can follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical relations or truths.

The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.

We may say most aptly that the Analytical Engine [Charles Babbage’s visionary computer] weaves algebraical patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.
