Apparently, Edgar Allen Poe (of all people) said some interesting things about the universe and its finiteness circa 1848... Following article in the NYTimes...

Plamen, I think you have mis-worded your result. It is not that Bell's result does not apply to CAs, it is that the composite effect of locally acting CA's...
Hi Jim: The full text of "Eureka" is fascinating. Thanks for the link. I don't really intend this to become a platform for literary discussion... but I can't...
Plamen, I couldn't help noticing that shortly after I pointed out that Konrad Zuse published his thesis of the CA-computed universe in 1967, you announced a...

Dear Plamen, since I have many other things to do I hesitate to put a major effort into translating the entire paper into English right now - especially since...
... Jim, I think it can be argued that existing mathematical theory has been usefully applied to conjectures about the universe, producing testable models; as...
I be interested in seeing some comments/opinions on Cahill's process physics stuff; he attempts to apply Chatain's (and inherently Godel's) ideas on randomness...
... Okay, but whether or not einstein studied non-euclidian geometries, which I really doubt he did, the equations resulting from his assumptions manafested a...
Riemann geometry is the best fit, IIRC, for relativistic space-time, and it preceeded Einstein. Riemann died in 1866. Peace G. ... From: Jim Whitescarver...
... My thoughts after superfisial review: Very interesting approach, but too complex, CA's are simple comparitively. The process over a static model is...
On futher reflection it occurred to me that Cahill's process physics could model the observer, as requied in our participatory universe. It could also...
... I don't exactly know which paper you are talking about, but in the bibliography of "Theory and Applications of Cellular Automata", part 6.1 there is...

I am really suprised Poe's universe has not received more comments here. I am obsessed by his vision. It is similar to having read 2000 year old Indian...
