BITS.2/4.txt

To design a computer, one has to start and think at the bit level, at first. The underlying bit is what the machine works with; our abstractions simply organize them together in such a way that we can understand them, but then, we aren’t talking about the bits themselves, we are talking about higher units of comprehension, whatever level that may be.

To think in bits requires a bit of a stretch. They are them smallest units of information available. Information is defined as change, or the measured change of some thing. Without change there can be no information, and without time, there can be no change. This would make time and information inseparable. Good thing we have time, or this essay would stop right here.
