Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Reality might not be made of matter. It might be made of information, executing.Materialism has a problem it has never solved. Several, and they turn out to be the same problem wearing different masks. Why does mathematics predict the universe decades before the physics arrives Why is real…ity's information budget set by surface area, like a display Why, after a century of neuroscience, is there still no account of why a brain is accompanied by the experience of being one The Substrate takes one idea seriously and follows it all the way down: that reality is mathematical structure executing itself, that space and time are settings rather than the stage, that matter is a stable pattern, and that the brain is an interface, not the source of you.What makes this book different is what it does next. It builds the strongest case it can, across physics, biology and the science of consciousness, and then turns and attacks that case as hard as any sceptic would, and states plainly what would prove the whole thing wrong.Inside, you will find: - Why mathematics fits reality with a precision that 'useful coincidence' cannot explain- How mainstream physics already describes reality as something closer to a computed system than a collection of stuff- Why the quantum weirdness stops being weird the moment you stop assuming matter is fundamental- Why a century of consciousness research keeps hitting the same wall, and what that wall is telling us- What changes, for identity, attention and how you face mortality, if any of it is trueNo mysticism. No credentials on display. An operator's investigation, by someone who spent twenty-seven years reverse-engineering how complex systems really work, turned on the largest system there is.For readers of Donald Hoffman, Bernardo Kastrup, David Chalmers and Federico Faggin.You don't have to agree. You won't be able to unsee the question.
