That sounds like a paradox. That's the magic of arithmetic. It wipes away all fine details. It strips things of their character. The qualities of what you count just disappear without a trace.
Programs do the opposite.
They make things come to be, where nothing ever was before. Some people find a new experience in this, a feeling of freedom, a power to do anything you want. I don't mean like getting what you want by just wishing. You still have to decide what to do with the blocks. But there aren't any outside obstacles.
