"We have a picture for how complexity arises, because if the universe is computationally capable, maybe we shouldn't be so surprised that things are so entirely out of control."

"Even the humblest Party member is expected to be competent, industrious, and even intelligent within narrow limits, but it is also necessary that he should be a credulous and ignorant fanatic whose prevailing moods are fear, hatred, adulation, and orgiastic triumph. In other words it is necessary that he should have the mentality appropriate to a state of war. It does not matter whether the war is actually happening, and, since no decisive victory is possible, it does not matter whether the war is going well or badly. All that is needed is that a state of war should exist."

"All physical systems can be thought of as registering and processing information, and how one wishes to define computation will determine your view of what computation consists of."

Time
"Merely by existing and evolving in time - by existing - any physical system registers information, and by evolving in time it transforms or processes that information."

"There are considerable advantages to using many degrees of freedom to store information, stability and controllability being perhaps the most important."
