'''Digital philosophy''' is a new movement in ] advocated by prominent scientists such as ], ], and ]. It is basically a modern re-interpretation of ]'s ], as it substitutes the ] with ] ]. Digital physics conjectures that the universe is a special type of ] that is Turing complete. | |||
The digital approach in ] promises to solve the hard problems in the ] and the ], since the mind can be given a ]al treatment following the footsteps of Leibniz, and dispenses with the non-deterministic essentialism of (Copenhagen interpretation of) quantum theory. In a digital universe, existence is equivalent to computation, and so is thought. Thus computation is the single substance of a ] metaphysics, while subjectivity is constructed through universal computation. (This intriguing approach to epistemology has been dubbed Multism, since it posits the existence of multiple universes.) | |||
There is a newsgroup called sci.physics.discrete and two mailing lists, namely digitalphilosophy and digitalphysics, on yahoogroups.com | |||
-- talk about multism, algorithmic information theory, etc. -- | |||
