Bent, Stathis,
Suppose that space is discrete. It has some elementary unit. Let's call it
SU.
Suppose there are 3 of these units out there in a right triangular fashion(
L shape)
Then what is the distance between two distant angles? is it made up of some
integer numbers of space unit? Pythagoras'

Not necessarily. If you draw a
diagonal on a square on a computer screen, it will be made up of a
discrete number of pixels despite what Pythagoras' theorem calculates.
Irrational in the real world
I'm thinking there's some kind of similarity between string theory and
depicting the world as a big CA. In String theory we have some vibrating
strings which have some kind of influence on each other and can for
different matters and fields. CA can play such role of changing patterns and

Yes, space (and time) is discrete. Everything in the universe is
finite, and the universe itself is finite.

Kim, thanks for your observing 'lurking' about the 'hatchet'. I do not
believe that we would have buried it into each others' head, I accepted that
Bruno may be irritated (by my question/remark, or by other business).
To your choice of Q-#1: recalls my usual doubt in Mark's Plain English:

Russell,
I apologize for my flippant quip of yesterday, it was after several hours
of reading and replying internet discussion lists. Besides: it was true.G
I never considered the features named as distinguishing 'colors' in QCD as
poles. Also it is new to me that the strong force has 3 poles.
My reply to the topic:
The question How to calculate the Universe? by definition is equivalent to
the question how to calculate Everything, including the answer to the
question what is the meaning of life.
It justifies our existence even if we were not to know exactly the meaning
of it. :-)
Hi,
See previous posts here re EC - Entropy Calculus. This caught my eye,
thought I'd throw in my $0.02 worth.
I have been working on this idea for a long while now. Am writing it up as
part of my PhD process.
The EC is a lambda calculus formalism that depicts reality. It's actual

Perhaps using the term existence for mathematical objects is misleading.
It doesn't mean they exist as separate objects in the real world, just that
they exist as concepts. This is mathematical Platonism.
Yes, I understand.
