	Digitalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Digitalism is a term that refers to all expressions of digital culture.
		Digitalism is also a scientific paradigm that postulates that the universe itself is the ultimate supercomputer.
		Philosophical digitalism is most commonly expressed through the simulated reality argument while religious digitalism is a modern form of Deism or Pantheism whereby God is recast as a "Divine Programmer" or Creation as a "Divine Computer." The Omega Point hypothesis is a popular but dubious synthesis of both philosophical and religious digitalism.

	Digital Physics and Religion
		Digital Physics ("DP") is a suitably neutral scientific term for a breathtaking philosophical concept.
		Digital physics arose at the intersection of physics and computer science.
		Digital physics implies the essential insignificance of the material world, and of our worldly ambitions and fears.

	Digital Physics
		So I have often made the hypotheses that ultimately physics will not require a mathematical statement, that in the end the machinery will be revealed, and the laws will turn out to be simple, like the chequer board with all its apparent complexities.
		I define digital physics is the study of discrete models for physics.
		My ideas about physics are summarized in two chapters (Digital Physics and Relativity plus quantum mechanics) of a book (What is and what will be) I am writing.

		Physics and Metaphysics One way to describe how the thinking behind Virtual Visions has come to focus on physics and metaphysics is to list the areas that the work does not engage with, which could broadly be named as the social and the polemic.
		The dark-adapted eyes are physically relaxed, and the mind is mentally relaxed and receptive to the mass of light above, and one is free to roam in one’s gaze and one’s thoughts.
		Conclusions Digital culture is susceptible to the error that all innovative fields are prone to, that of defining itself as other to what went before, or other to disjoint fields of human endeavour.

	Digital Philosophy -- Ed Fredkin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Digital Philosophy (DP) is a new way of thinking about the fundamental workings of processes in nature.
		Digital Mechanics[1] (DM) must be a substrate for Quantum Mechanics.
		In principle, the temporal evolution of the state information (numbers and kinds of particles) of such a system can be exactly modeled by a digital informational process similar to what goes on in a computer.

		Put on the magic glasses of digital physics and watch as the three atoms bind together to form a water molecule.
		Weaving together the esoteric teachings of quantum physics with the latest theories in computer science, pioneering digital thinkers are outlining a way of understanding all of physics as a form of computation.
		But these new digital atoms are the basis not only of matter, as the Greeks thought, but of energy, motion, mind, and life.

	POAMS - The Neo-Machian, Digital Physics Website
		It seeks to avoid the fallacies that are endemic in our traditional approach to the subject and to re-establish physics on the more positive lines introduced by the late nineteenth century philosopher-physicist, Ernst Mach.
		Mach's programme for physics was to base the subject on what we actually observe, not on things and events that we merely imagine - or are told - there are underlying those observations.
		Based on numerous papers, some published under the aegis of the Department of Mathematics, Keele University, England, what is now called the POAMS group of natural philosophers have convened workshops and seminars (at the University of Wales, Swansea and the University of the West of England, Bristol) for like-minded physicists to discuss the relevant issues.

		We have examined digital video as a means to make learning physics more interesting to a broader audience than has traditionally studied physics.
		Digital Video - Interactive (DVI) which requires hardware to playback was the early leader in high quality playback and capture of digital video.
		As the developers of other formats of digital video bring their quality up to the standard of Digital Video - Interactive, these techniques can be applied to develop software for a particular generation or brand of hardware.

		Digital Libraries are being viewed as a means for dissolving inequities in access to scientific information for both researchers and students alike.
		A number of digital libraries exist as of today, both in commercial world as well as in the government and educational domains, however there is a lack of a federated service that provides a unified interface to all these libraries, which we believe is necessary for faster dissemination
		In this work, we are enhancing the two key infrastructure components of the OAI framework by building: a Digital Library Grid to support a high performance OAI federated search service, and an Apache module, mod_oai, to enable OAI for the general Web community.

		If the theory of digital physics holds up, movement (f = ma), energy (E = mc²), gravity, dark matter, and antimatter can all be explained by elaborate programs of 1/0 decisions.
		Your brain and the physics of a cup being filled with water are equivalent, he says: for your mind to compute a thought and the universe to compute water particles falling, both require the same universal process.
		It would be a unified explanation of physics (digital physics), relativity (digital relativity), evolution (digital evolution and life), quantum mechanics, and computation itself, and at the bottom of it all would be squirming piles of the universal elements: loops of yes/no bits.

	Digital Jesters and AGEIA Join Forces to Get Physical
		The first Digital Jesters published game to utilize these technologies will be Bet on Soldier, a first-person shooter available for the PC that launches this summer in the US and worldwide.
		As a new alternative to global publishing for developers, Digital Jesters has released a string of high profile titles in its 18 months of existence and continues to push the envelope on original games in an age of sequels and licenses.
		Digital Jesters' commitment to originality resulted in snapping up the original TrackMania game from French developer Nadeo and with the ethos of community development, the game quickly became one of the sleeper hits of the year.

		This distinction matters since the differential equations that constitute the laws of physics are not (digitally) calculable with the advertised accuracy in finite memory.
		Almost all of physics is framed in Real Numbers, but it is generally assumed that the set of Rational Numbers is sufficient for modeling and scientific explanation without jeopardizing the qualitative adequacy of the explanations and laws (156).
		Her work is predicated on the idea that physical systems are described by differential equations or maps in continuous phase space and are, thus, inherently analogue systems, requiring a theory of computation of their own, and distinct from that of discrete systems.

		Similarly, the other programmer, let us call him “scientist” (or even: “digital physics scientist”, for a reason that shall become clear later) makes his “move” by programming his computer to show some CA on the screen starting from some finite initial configuration.
		This line of research is known as “Digital Mechanics” [Fre90] and has been developed by Fredkin and others for the past 40 years.
		It has led to a number of important results (for both computer science and physics), the most well-known of which is probably the so-called “Billiard Ball Model” (BBM) [FT82] and the corresponding BBM CA [Mar84].

	The Finite Nature Hypothesis of Edward Fredkin
		Exploring physics as though it were the product of programming run on a computer requires that we explain how the physics of the natural world can be produced by a computer program.
		If all of space-time and all physical processes are fundamentally discrete, then for any given unit of space-time (i.e., for any volume of anything, or even a volume of nothing) there will be a limited, finite number of combinations that will describe all of the possible states of everything contained within that volume.
		If the physics of our universe is capable of time reversal, at least in principle, then it must also be possible, again in principle, to construct a type of computer similarly capable of running its programs backwards.

		Zuse was the first to propose that physics is just computation, suggesting that the history of our universe is being computed on, say, a cellular automaton.
		Zuse is careful: on page 337 he writes that at the moment we do not have full digital models of physics, but that does not prevent him from asking right there: which would be the consequences of a total discretization of all natural laws?
		Since some universes are fundamentally harder to compute than others, the algorithm leads to Schmidhuber's nontraditional predictions about the most likely futures of our universe.
