I see it as a simple exercise to derive both quantum mechanics and
relativity on a discrete physical system that is isomorphic to a recursive
enumeration theorem cascade in an incomplete, finite, consistent Formal
Axiomatic System [ifc-FAS]. A cellular automaton if you will. However,
the incompleteness must be incrementally resolved which makes the system
discontinuously computational - i. e. non deterministic. In this view
information [relative] as measured by AIT program length [each such program
being the proof of an individual member of the cascade] monotonically
accumulates.
The universe I think is really quite simply described.
