A lot, I think to some extent, she's actually writing the footnotes to Babbage because she often says things like, "I don't know if this has occurred to the creator of the calculating machine, but I have this idea about how this could actually work." And this is one of those notes where she says-- this is the first appearance of general computing theory-- "in enabling the mechanism to combine together general symbols in successions of unlimited variety
