Cybernetic Theory: Information Physics, Quantum Cosmology, Simulation Metaphysics

 

"The Cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself." -Carl Sagan

In

the intellectual landscape of scientific inquiry, explanatory theories serve as foundational frameworks that offer more than mere descriptive accounts; they elucidate the underlying principles and causal mechanisms that govern observed phenomena. Unlike purely mathematical models, which may adeptly characterize patterns or statistical correlations, explanatory theories confer ontological insights into the 'how' and 'why' of natural processes.

Meta-Cybernetics: Does the Physics of Information Reveal the God's Hand?

 

“What we call the past is built on bits.”  —John A. Wheeler

hen molecular biologists talk about genetic code or sociologists talk about cultural memes as epigenetic information, it’s by far more intuitive than when physicists say that what we perceive as solid matter, energy, and even space-time continuum itself is information as well. Morse code, a streaming movie on-demand, or pixels on your smartphone’s screen could be easily understood as information, on the other hand, if you catch a cold or fall in love with someone, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with information. But contrary to popular belief, that’s the worldview many physicists are now embracing.
