At any rate, I drew my inspiration directly from the physics, information
theory, and philosophy. As 1987 drew to a close, I'd been reading Spinoza
and working on the ideas that I would later set forth in "Wisdomism", 2
EXTROPY 22
(Winter 1988-89) (soon to appear on my web page in edited form). On Jan. 10,
1988, I was playing around in my Journal by substituting bits for grams in
standard physics equations, wondering about the parallels. I hypothesized,
for example, that
resolution = bits/m^3 as density = g/m^3,
and so forth. By Jan. 11 (I was on a long writing jag) I'd eventually worked
my way through the basics up to entropy. The rest, as they say . . . .
