There are no material objects in the traditional sense. Taking contemporary physics seriously leads to a metaphysical view on which information-theoretic structures like patterns are the fundamental objects in our ontology. Ordinary objects like tables and chairs are just very stable patterns.
You ever read Godel, Escher, Bach by Hofstadter?
Yes indeed, along with I Am a Strange Loop. I've used bits and pieces of both in intro classes.
Fantastic books. Reading GEB now, want to read IAASL afterwards
Definitely. Comrades may be resistant, but process philosophy is correct and dialectical materialism is of it. Nothing is the same from one moment to the next.
