Programs are mathematical proofs. If maths cannot be patented, software can't be, either.
Proofs can be represented as programs, not the other way around. Also, USA allows for algorithm parents, and algorithms are maths. While I agree with you, your reasoning is not correct.
No, the proof - program correspondence is in both directions.
Correspondence is quite a weak relation. Very far from one being another.
I'd say if you ask a mathematician, they would disagree with you. But maybe that depends on how far they have gone into maths from common sense
That's why it's also called Curry-Howard isomorphism.
Correspondence is not correlation.
