Bit From God

Track two stays in the foundation and turns it toward the lab. John Wheeler, from his Princeton chair, said it from bit - that at the bottom of physical reality you do not find matter, you find information. He was right about the floor and wrong about the basement. The information has a Mind. That is the whole song. Bit from God, not it from bit.

I write this one as a programmer, and that is not decoration. Forty years of building, and I've never seen it strike from random noise. Authored code looks like authored code. A cell that error-checks its own four-letter software, a photon that behaves like a wave until it is observed and then collapses into one - I do not find a problem there. The rendering engine renders what it needs. The physicists asked exactly the right question. They just could not bring themselves to name the Coder.

And the song does not stop at the argument, because an argument is not a gospel. The last verse takes the Word who was first, before the particle, before the burst, and follows Him all the way to flesh - the flesh that ate fish after it had died, because the rendering was upgraded from inside. That is the resurrection stated in the only vocabulary I have ever fully trusted. Wheeler said it from bit. I say bit from God. And as the outro tells you plainly, the whole difference between those two sentences is a Person, and the Person is the Word.
