John Archibald Wheeler (July 9, 1911 - April 13, 2008) was an American theoretical physicist who was largely responsible for reviving interest in general relativity in the United States after World War II. Wheeler also worked with Niels Bohr in explaining the basic principles behind nuclear fission. One of the later collaborators of Albert Einstein, he tried to achieve Einstein's vision of a unified field theory. He is also known for having coined the terms black hole, quantum foam and wormhole and the phrase "it from bit". For most of his career, Wheeler was a professor at Princeton University and was influential in mentoring a generation of physicists who made notable contributions to quantum mechanics and gravitation.

John Archibald Wheeler’s concept that “everything is a bit” presents a powerful model for understanding the Universe as a fundamental computational process, where reality is rooted in information. By interpreting material and immaterial nature as emerging from two intertwined pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs), which evolve through positive and negative feedback loops, we gain a new perspective on space-time and the forces of nature. This suggests that the Universe can be viewed as a flow of necessary information, generated by a computing device that naturally evolves into a structured digital hologram.
In this framework, two PRNGs work in close connection, functioning as closed, one-dimensional cosmic strings that can each be seen as half of a unified, thicknessless “screen.” These threads loop around the hemispheres of this screen, winding with each cycle. Through their interactions, bits of information are continuously moved and interwoven, building a complex, multidimensional space-time. This growing flow of information not only gives rise to known physical laws but also underpins the fundamental forces of nature. The feedback loops between these generators do not merely structure information; they create a holistic, inseparable context in which each unit of information is interconnected, reminiscent of quantum coherence.
Viewing the Universe through the lens of these two PRNGs sheds light on the nature of the four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear forces. These forces could emerge from coherent oscillations of information, manifesting as dynamic interference patterns on the holographic screen. This process resembles wave interference, where the “gravitational” effect of each bit influences the nearby bits, maintaining a stable structure that could explain space-time curvature and interactions.
Furthermore, this model offers insight into entropy as an emergent property of the interaction and movement of information bits. As the PRNG-generated bits evolve, they interact and form structured patterns that define the structure of space-time itself. Space-time is not only a result of information but also interacts with it on the screen. Each point on the screen represents a complex interference of bits, creating effects that can be interpreted as the curvature of space-time. Just as in a hologram, where each individual bit contributes to a larger pattern, each information interaction on this screen generates a coherent influence, resembling gravitational characteristics that shape neighboring bits and create a cohesive digital structure.
A particularly compelling aspect of this model is its potential for experimental verification. The construction of a six-degrees-of-freedom gyroscope, Gyro_6DoF, could provide valuable insights into this digital holographic structure of the Universe. Within such a gyroscope, the rotor would achieve a full three-dimensional angular velocity, producing interference patterns through the acceleration of its mass elements. The gyroscope would be able to demonstrate the effects of holographic inertial forces and how they generate the gyroscope’s full inertial mass. Moreover, observing how the parameters of this gyroscope vary with orientation relative to distant cosmic bodies could reveal the underlying informational structure of the Universe.
Such an experiment would enable researchers to explore whether inertial forces within the Gyro_6DoF are indeed holographic in nature, potentially connecting local measurements of angular velocity to the cosmic information structure. By examining the coherence of this rotor's dynamics, we could better understand how cosmic bodies and information patterns interact across vast distances, and whether the coherent feedback between bits on this universal screen forms a tangible link to the mechanics of space-time. This theory provides a profound view of reality as an evolving computation where space, time, and matter are informational products, inseparable from the fundamental holographic bit structure that underpins all existence.
DAC only demonstrated that such a negative and positive feedback pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) with a finite cycle (only 2x4 bits) demonstrates performance. In our case, an unimaginable number of bits and an infinite loop. “Everything is made up of bits” - John Archibald Wheeler. The universe is necessary information, which means it is computable. From this idea, it follows that the universe can be understood as the result of two tightly coupled PRNGs working together without losing even one bit of information, as a kind of digital computing device that creates a digital hologram as a result of the natural evolution of information. The first two shift register cells arise in the PRNG with each new bit. Space-time and the four known forces emerge in such an information mechanism. The formula for the coherent oscillations of these strings can be used for the dynamics of the rotor, the third and final type of mechanical gyroscope with six degrees of freedom. All these assumptions can be verified and refined experimentally. [Alex Isakov]
