That's still a chaotic composition of thoughts, not driven by any identified structure or symmetry of the situation.

Why a program is needed? What constraints lead to the existence of that need? Why didn't human interactions need a program or thinking in math? Why do computers use 0s and 1s? You need to start there and systematically derive other concepts, that are tightly linked and have a purpose driven by the pre-existing context.
