@yoginho@spore.social @kendmiller@qoto.org I'm not a proponent of the digital physics idea or even know enough physics to really articulate how the universe works, but here's a paper by Hector Zenil that lays out how the universe could unfold algorithmically if it's doesn't do so randomly https://arxiv.org/abs/1109.2237

@axoaxonic@synapse.cafe I'll have to read this more carefully. Thanks for sharing! The abstract gives me strong vibes of map-instead-of-territory though, and the rotten whiff of the Laplacian demon is also succinctly present. I've written about why that ugly demon must die (and should never be allowed to come back again) here: https://www.expandingpossibilities.org/4-death-to-the-demon.html.
