"17 USC § 102. Subject matter of copyright: In general.

(b) In no case does copyright protection for an original work of
authorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of
operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in
which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work."

Which part of  "... regardless of the form in which it is described,
explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work" don't you understand
Hyman?
