I have only one arrow left in my quiver and then, I will stop.

I have no problem understanding your description of the process of actualization or materialization. The problem is that just because a machine or process is patentable does not automatically mean that idea behind it is patentable or protectable. This fallacy is called "Fallacy of division" (see: http://www.infidels.org/news/atheism/logic.html).
