An Accessible Account of an "It from Bit" Quantum Theory

Abstract

A single, equation-light account of the whole programme — from the quantum vacuum and the Standard Model to Wheeler's "It from Bit" dream, the 8-qubit code, the shape that builds itself, why quarks cannot escape, the numbers, the predictions, and how the paradoxes dissolve — combined into one read and brought into line with the current canon. The gentlest starting point before the technical papers below.
