Public Relations Document 1 of Draft 1: Digital Philosophy

[Lord of Chaos(Suresh Devanathan)]

I, Suresh kumar Devanathan, make the following proposal for the wording of
the site www.digitalphilosophy.org, and content "Introduction to Digital
Philosophy".

I make such claim to attract an advanced audience, eg Dr. Gill, Dr. Minsky,
Dr. T Hooft and the like.I will post it both on usenet sci.physics,
sci.physics.discrete and other yahoo groups

The proposed Preface

Digital Philosophy (DP) is fundamental to Nature. Philosophy of Digital
Physics, Digitial Philosophy is a transcedental to everyday intuition. We
claim that all natural quantities are finite and occur in discrete amounts.
Theorectically, it implies every natural quantity can be
stored/manipulated/tranformed as a finite integer variable. DP gets rid of
infinities, infinitesimals, continuities or any other naturally occurring
local random variables. Premises and consequences of a DP model will be
explained futhur.

It is proposed that at the most fundamental levels of physics, DP implies a
totally discrete process called Digital Mechanics. Digital Mechanics [1]
(DM) forms a substrate for Quantum Mechanics.

The most fundamental assumptions of DP Univere Model are:

a) All fundamental quantities in the universe are integral. For example, the
number of neutrons in an atom can always be stored by an integer. An
oversimplified and attractive model is binary in the most microscopic
storage of information

A computer is a useful tool for modeling the universe. A computer would keep
track of exact states of the universe. For example, given a reaction where a
neturon decays into a proton, an elctron and a neutrino, a computer will
tabulate the number of neutrons with a formula, neutron number = neutron
number -1, proton number = proton number + 1, electron number = electron
number + 1, neutrino number = neutrino number + 1.

Although this paper focuses primarily on Digital Physics models, the
phiolosophy of DP applies to various sciences,like biology, chemistry.

Our work in progress "Introduction to Digital Philosophy", will be revised
from time to time.
