A Digital Philosophy Question About Computational Intelligence...

Tim, is this somewhat representative of your digital ideas' logic...?

Digital Philosophy (DP) is a new way of thinking about the fundamental workings of processes in nature. DP is an atomic theory carried to a logical extreme where all quantities in nature are finite and discrete. This means that, theoretically, any quantity can be represented exactly by an integer. Further, DP implies that nature harbors no infinities, infinitesimals, continuities, or locally determined random variables. This paper explores Digital Philosophy by examining the consequences of these premises.

At the most fundamental levels of physics, DP implies a totally discrete process called Digital Mechanics. Digital Mechanics[1] (DM) must be a substrate for Quantum Mechanics. Digital Philosophy makes sense with regard to any system if the following assumptions are true:

All the fundamental quantities that represent the state information of the system are ultimately discrete. In principle, an integer can always be an exact representation of every such quantity. For example, there is always an integral number of neutrons in a particular atom. Therefore, configurations of bits, like the binary digits in a computer, can correspond exactly to the most microscopic representation of that kind of state information.

In principle, the temporal evolution of the state information (numbers and kinds of particles) of such a system can be exactly modeled by a digital informational process similar to what goes on in a computer. Such models are straightforward in the case where we are keeping track only of the numbers and kinds of particles. For example, if an oracle announces that a neutron decayed into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino, it’s easy to see how a computer could exactly keep track of the changes to the numbers and kinds of particles in the system. Subtract 1 from the number of neutrons, and add 1 to each of the numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrinos.

The possibility that DP may apply to various fields of science motivates this study.

Tim, here's the original writings of Konrad Zuse, the inventer of the first true digital computers, and his ideas on digital information processing. I think you should read it, if you haven't already:

This stuff is extremely interesting Tim, as it includes a triadic information system's diagram, that's very applicable to my work, as per Peirce's diagrammatic logics... I don't know as I agree with it all yet, but It certainly contains some very important foundational information...

Tim, just finished reading Zuse__This paper is the most amazing read I've come across in a long time. If you want to know where Feyneman got his arrow ideas__Look no further... You wanna' read about your grid mechanics__Look no further... You wanna' understand one, two and three space, pluse CM, QM and RM__Look no further... This paper is that good at expanding new ideas' thinking. Don't worry about the math and symbols you don't understand, just read the paper for what you can easily understand__I'll gaurantee it worth your while... His conceptualism is matchless...
