> All matter is information, all information is functional, and perception is therefore the lazy evaluation of the universe.
If the universe is deterministic, then there is no information (everything can be computed from the initial conditions).
If the universe is deterministic, then there is no information (everything can be computed from the initial conditions).
Or to put it less stiffly, the universe can't be computed separately from itself, since it includes the evaluation of itself.
Both statements are in contrast with a classical deterministic universe, such as a cellular automaton.
However, in this framework, we can hypothesise that terminal conditions exist, and not just by running your Lisp machine with GC disabled
Is there even one?
Do the lambdas just loop back unto themselves??
