Quantum information is, or should be, digital information seen from the “material modes of self-reference”, and this is confirmed so far. It is a typical physical thing, and as such it emerges from the first person view in arithmetic (which are typically NOT arithmetical). Sean Carroll miss the point that the Wave itself must be explained by Mechanism (a classical notion).
