Liz, The 'results' and the 'everything' are the actual information state of the universe. There is NO separate storage of anything other than the current information state of the universe. The current information state of the universe is continually being computed by the computations. No, it

Eugen, That's not that bad ... Now I can make some sense of what you "see". Like Craig reminds me the talk of the "universal soul", there is a ring of "intelligible matter" and/or sensible "matter" in your "theory" below. Unfortunately your explanation of computation was non sensical. You

Brent, et al, I officially challenge anyone to poke any holes in my theory of how spacetime emerges from quantum events or prove it wrong. If no one takes me up on the challenge I'll have to assume everyone accepts it by default. I claim the theory 1. Resolves all quantum paradox 2. Provides a
