It From Bit and The Unsmooth Reality

TL;DR

This paper argues that the 'It from Bit' concept is plausible when considering generalized bits derived from the Kolmogorov superposition theorem as universal building blocks for reality.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that generalized bits, based on the Kolmogorov theorem, can serve as the fundamental units in the 'It from Bit' framework.

Findings

Generalized bits are plausible as universal building blocks.

Kolmogorov superposition theorem supports the 'It from Bit' idea.

The essay provides a conceptual argument for a computational view of reality.

Abstract

In this short essay it is argued that the "It from Bit" idea is plausible when assuming "generalized bits", resulting from the Kolmogorov superposition theorem, as universal building blocks.
