I think you begin to touch on the answer to this in the final paragraph of your last post. The syllogism works in universal truths, tangible realities. The algorithm, as a string of functions begins to bridge the gap between real concepts and abstract concepts. Through syllogistic reasoning we can define the universal characteristics of a dog, or the functions of a brain. Algorithmic processes allows us to translate these truths into abstract terms, thus opening into the realm of possibilities and alternate realities. Crucially working outside of the restrictions of standard dimensions.

Both syllogism and algorithm are functions of prediction.
The syllogism predicts some form of truth using a method similar to pythagorean theorem.
The algorithm is a piece of music that need not concern itself with "proving" anything. It needs to show consistency though.
