The tendency of describing the world in “computational terms” is an emergent byproduct of the creation of computational systems, not only have computers augmented human beings capacity to disseminate and acquire information their continual mastery has brought forth some truly profound paradigm shifts in how human beings conceptualize themselves, their environment and the relationship between the two. Applications of deep meditation on thought shifting languages (such as decision theory, game theory, probability theory) to longstanding puzzles in philosophy and metaphysics has given rise to complete re-descriptions of reality as in fact the pure product of computational activity. One of the…

I hope the explanation is intelligible and easy to understand.
Mind equals reality.
The mind equals reality principle (M=R) asserts that in order for your mind to intelligibly represent external reality…
Part 1: Beginnings And The Nature Of What Begins:
Chris Langan’s CTMU is a metaphysical/philosophical theory of everything, a “theory of theories” in another term. It explains the deep nature of reality, its emergence, where it is headed and what its purpose is.
The theory is infamous for being difficult to understand and this has unrightfully drawn (in place of fair discourse) ad-hominem scorn by the material reductionist culture that permeates our modern time. …
