“Of all the Programmers' planets, ours is the supercomputing golden child, the world that inexplicably provides enough power to light up the galaxy.”

— David Eagleman

The primary consequence of the computational nature of the universe is that the universe naturally generates complex systems, such as life. Although the basic…
