#comp

I'm interested in why people compromise when they shouldn't. It comes back to what V's about in a sense. We've all got ideals, but given the right circumstances, we'll forget about them and put them behind us. I'm very interested in why people do that. ↗

The pain was considerable, but trivial compared with my mental state. ↗

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. ↗

I would suggest, merely as a metaphor here, but also as the basis for a scientific program to investigate the computational capacity of the universe, that this is also a reasonable explanation for why the universe is complex. ↗

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 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. ↗

Thinking of the universe as a computer is controversial. ↗
