ABSTRACT

To characterise the modern Web as anything other than a global fusion of society, computation and information would be to do it an injustice. The World Wide Web is a truly remarkable innovation. The string of analogies in connection with the Web is used for deliberate reason, as current research points to the relevance of thinking taken from the physical sciences. The key strengthening in the strong Church-Turing thesis is the word efficiently. If the strong Church-Turing thesis is correct, then it implies that no matter what type of machine we use to perform algorithms, that machine can be simulated efficiently using a standard Turing machine. This is all information and as it changes over time to create the very fingerprint of reality itself. In addition, our most fundamental understandings of reality, the nuts and bolts at the base of quantum mechanics itself, suggest that all the matter can be seen as being entangled regardless of any notion of space.
