Physics is Software

Space = Memory + Program Evaluator

Particles = Data + Representations + Program

 

This “distinctions” are not very clear cut.  As in Lisp, programs can be data, and the “program evaluator” is a program and can be changed by programs. 

 

Reality is more like an “emergent soup” of interconnected representations.

 

The Quantum Computer View is a view of our Universe as a network of quantum computers that reduces space-time and particles to “information relationships and exchanges on a computer or network of computers”.

 

“It from Bit”, as envisioned by John A. Wheeler, means a representation of Physics in terms of Boolean questions, arguing for a discretized decision tree.

 

As of late, the above view is greatly supported by the Matrix formulation of String Theory, Loop Quantum Gravity, Black-hole thermodynamics and the postulates of Quantum Computing.

 

This website attempts to gather relevant information of this representation of Physics and make it available to a wider audience.
