> These freebits also have to be quantum in nature.
Why?
> That means they are also “qubits”—the version of plain old 1 and 0 bits that applies to objects and systems exhibiting quantum behavior. They are fuzzy, undetermined things until called upon and snapped into focus. That’s a complication that I’m going to avoid really dealing with, because it will really make our heads hurt.
Hmmm. I've got plenty of Advil. Try me. What are you possibly trying to say here
> Suppose you want to track back the chain of events that led to a specific incident—something interesting in a physics experiment, or a chicken crossing the road. For some incidents there will be a chain that goes all the way back to the original freebits.
For some incidents? Shouldn't literally everything have a chain going back to the original freebits?
By all accounts the author seems like a really bright guy, and I can only hope this is a half-assed condensation of a portion of his latest book because this is not good.
