"Universe is a computer", commenting on Seth Lloyd's article

(surely a citation error....)

But seems to point to a variant on this preprint:

Computational capacity of the universe
http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/quant-ph/0110141

which we seem to have missed (slap the ruler on our collective
pointy hats) since it was submitted last October...

Interesting that its only now getting spin in conjunction
with Wolfram's recent book.
