Another state of matter

I remember I’m going to forget what I just remembered.
Sampling one reality

There is an essential difference between the analogue universe and its digital transposition. An analogue model is carried by a continuous signal while its digital alter ego codes the information in a symbolic way using a numerical system.

The computer then processes the data as messages made up of a succession of binary digits. This quantity of information contained in the elementary choice of two states of a probable reality is the “bit”1, sole and unique switch confined in its own world, far away from any “multiversal” theories.

Digital technology allows signal processing by controlling the circulation of these messages. It makes the combination and recombination of any objects and material possible within the virtual frame of the machine, and as a consequence, a massive development of abstract models.

Following this path, the access to unlikely natural waveforms and data dumps is possible and perceptible to us. Here again, we transform the objects, we change nature while maintaining the form and vice-versa. Information leaves and returns by the means of transformations, making it abstract, like a new state of matter only found so far in mental emulations.
