WTF does that mean?  Fortunately, you can speak only
for yourself and not for all humans.
 

A human understands the world around `objectively', i.e. as distinct
objects. To every human, a bottle of water is `parsed' as an object;
i.e. a vessel of made of plastic, for example, containing water, that is
sealed with a plastic cap.

A computing device, in order to understand what an object is; it would
need to parse every indivisible unit of that object. If a computer were
to parse a physical bottle of water kept in front of it, it needs to go
through each and every single atom in that bottle to be able to parse it
by itself.

The computer only executes instructions that are
assigned to it by a human agent, and such instructions
do not differ from or transcend any already innate human
pattern.
 

At its lowest level; a computing device can only capture a state at a
particular instance, with the ability to capture multiple states at
multiple instances; limited to the storage capacity of the device. The
human agency in delivering instructions can only capture a state at an
instance, read the state at another instance, or jump to a particular
instance; with the computing device reacting on the basis of the state
at a particular instance, which makes it an automaton (ability to react
on the basis of the state).

There is no other instructions for a computer to work with. As someone
else stated on this thread: It is just layers of abstractions on top of
one another. The `reality' of a computing device is completely different
from that of a human being.
