ABSTRACT

In this last chapter of the book, I want to sketch what the world looks like if the most basic thing happening in it is not the interaction of particles but the exchange of information. No fundamentally new ideas will be presented in what follows. Rather, I’ll attempt to piece together the ideas developed in previous chapters into a coherent whole. I’ll do this, very briefly, in a series of numbered points, underscoring key features of the informational view of reality that has been the focus throughout. I’ll close with a parable, drawn from the game of golf, that ties together various elements of this book.
