i'm not saying it's impossible to model an infinite board using software (that's quite possible). i'm saying that if it's possible to soft-drop a block to an arbitrary row, then the model of infinity is faulty and inconsistent. and, unfortunately, both the infinite board and the soft-drop are required fundamental underpinnings of the proposed mechanism for computation.

And I'm saying you don't need a board to be infinite to do work, you just need a board to be infinite to compute all work. Just like you need infinite tape for a Turing Machine to be able to compute all work.
