Dear Russell,
Neat! I have been thinking of this idea in terms of a "very weak

Stephen,
Eric is taking the quest to its logical conclusion.
Even Steve Wolfram hints that pure space is the source
of all instantiation. So the only question that needs
resolution is specifying the natural of the architecture
of that space - and - identifying how it brings entities

In my paper "Why Occam's Razor", I identify a postulate called the
"projection postulate", which in words is something like "An observer
necessarily projects out an actual from the space of possibilities"
Mathematically, this corresponds to choosing a subset from the set of
all descriptions.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, titled "quantum computational cosmology"
why don't we assume/guess that the substrate (the fundamental concept of
the
universe or multiverse) is simply a capacity for there to be difference,
but also,
a capacity for all possible differences (and thus necessaril
Dear Ben,
I agree completely with that aspect of Bruno's thesis. ;-) It is the
assumption that the 0's and 1's can exist without some substrate that
bothers me. If we insist on making such an assuption, how can we even have a
notion of distinguishability between a 0 and a 1?.
