One of the most beautiful and simultaneously terroristic traits of our existence is that of binary computational equivalence.

Of course, binary as a notion is simply a set of relative measurements of the peaks and troughs of a wave at a specific time and scale, therefore we may deduce the ultimate excitation of all, what appears as this large number, is an analog, encompasses everything, and our reality a carefully crafted series of reductions from this source.

Wonderful and awe inspiringly scary that we may even consider such a thing of brilliance.

Many things can be approximately represented by a bitstring.

Perhaps the difference between an approximation and a complete encoding should be emphasised more forcefully on CS courses.

There are infinite recursive processes which can't be encoded in a bitstring. You can only put the results you got so far into one. To get more digits you will have to evaluate the function.

Not everything, but perhaps a description of most things.

If reality is finite and discrete, then it is everything.

On the other hand, if there are non computable processes at work in reality, then not everything.
