[Beginning of recorded material]
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: We have been talking on and off tape about an information universe grounded in the decades and decades old field of digital physics, which amounts to a field with physics, statistical thermodynamics, information theory, and related fields.
Rosner: So, what we’re saying is that in an information-based informational cosmology universe, there is an implied zero information.
There is an implied history that contains, as you work your way back at some point, the amount of looking backwards information contained goes to zero. Your ranges may go up and down, but ranges all the way from 0 up to the present amount of information.
That means from nothing you can get something. That the conservation of matter; that is, the matter can neither be created nor destroyed. That rule is a more local rule and doesn’t apply to the entire expanse of existence of a universe.
That there are ways to bring in more matter, more information at the edges of the universe and also for information to evaporate at the edges of the universe.
That the principle that there are whole all sets of the third sets of processes that let you create what matter can be created and what matter can disappear and that the principle from nothing comes nothing and the related principle from the current amount of matter comes every future amount of matter in a given universe: those principles do not apply.
