A theoretical framework proposing that the laws of physics are fundamentally computational in nature—that the universe operates as a vast information-processing system, and physical laws are the algorithms it runs. This theory draws on insights from digital physics, quantum computation, and information theory to suggest that information, not matter or energy, may be the most fundamental substrate of reality. It investigates questions like: Is the universe a quantum computer? Are physical laws algorithms? Is time a computation? Is space a data structure? Are particles information? The theory has profound implications: if the universe is computational, then what we call "laws" might be the rules of the cosmic program, and understanding them means reverse-engineering the code. It also suggests limits: computational irreducibility might mean some phenomena can't be predicted, only simulated; computational universality might mean the universe can simulate anything, including itself; computational complexity might explain why some physical problems are hard. The theory of computation of physical laws transforms our understanding of what laws are and what it means to know them.
Example: "Her theory of computation of the laws of physics suggested that the universe isn't just described by mathematics—it is mathematics, running as computation. The laws aren't written in the language of mathematics; they are the language, executing in real time, generating reality as they run."
