> According to Pythagoras everything is number, and God is a mathemati-
cian. This point of view has worked pretty well throughout the development
of modern science. However now a neo-Pythagorian doctrine is emerging,
according to which everything is 0/1 bits, and the world is built entirely
out of digital information. In other words, now everything is software, God
is a computer programmer, not a mathematician, and the world is a giant
information-processing system, a giant computer [Fredkin, 2004, Wolfram,
2002, Chaitin, 2005]
