The Edge of Reality: CERN and Information at the Bottom of Matter
William Hunter Laustrup
Abstract
FractalNode Magazine Issue 003, Article 04 — Simulation Thread The third installment of FractalNode's simulation thread. Eight independent lines of evidence that the deepest structure of reality is informational: Planck's quantization, Bekenstein's entropy bound, the holographic principle (Maldacena, 10,000+ citations), ER=EPR (spacetime from entanglement), Gates' error-correcting codes in supersymmetry equations, Wheeler's 'it from bit,' and Lloyd's computational capacity of the universe. Connects CERN's physics discoveries to its information infrastructure (WWW, WLCG, Zenodo). 32 verified sources. Part of FractalNode Magazine Issue 003: The Pipeline
