Liz, The computational theory I propose has nothing to do with cellular automata. Cellular automata is little more than a simple childish game. I played around with them myself back in the 1960's and found little of interest. All the hype and theorizing around them is misguided.
What they are is a very restricted type of emergence phenomenon, but it's emergence theory, not cellular automata that is important when it comes to understanding reality. Emergence is the fact that elemental level laws not only govern elemental level phenomena but also automatically lead to larger aggregate scale phenomena. For example the values and properties of binding energies don't just govern how atoms and molecules form but also the emergent properties of chemicals, and at an even higher level the properties of everything made out of chemicals, and at an even higher level the geography and properties of planets, solar systems and galaxies... So the automatic hierarchies of emergence is a fundamental principle of reality. Cellular automata is basically just a kids' game with little real world application. One needs to actually look at the real laws of emergence in action in the real world to understand reality.

If so, wouldn't making them into "digital >>> machines" be a theory closely allied to Edgar's theory of reality being >>> computed by some unspecified UTM at each point?
