All physical systems can be thought of as registering and processing information, and how one wishes to define computation will determine your view of what computation consists of. ↗

I have not proved that the universe is, in fact, a digital computer and that it's capable of performing universal computation, but it's plausible that it is. ↗

Another feature that everybody notices about the universe is that it's complex. ↗

At some point, Moore's law will break down. ↗

Every physical system registers information, and just by evolving in time, by doing its thing, it changes that information, transforms that information, or, if you like, processes that information. ↗

If you take a more Darwinian point of view the dynamics of the universe are such that as the universe evolved in time, complex systems arose out of the natural dynamics of the universe. ↗

If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can't do better than including everything in the universe that's potentially available. ↗

In order to figure out how to make atoms compute, you have to learn how to speak their language and to understand how they process information under normal circumstances. ↗

In this metaphor we actually have a picture of the computational universe, a metaphor which I hope to make scientifically precise as part of a research program. ↗

Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs. ↗
