I thought the whole point was to imagine a production system ("the literal production of commodities by commodities") n which one homogeneous non-labour factor ("computers") produces everything (including itself with a surplus).. The analysis breaks down, doesn't it, if you introduce separately owned additional factors that are neither homogeneous nor reproducible?
