23:20 Algorithms are just as real as physical objects
26:00 Information is not just ones and zeroes

34:00 Music as an example of a system of collective unconscious
36:15 Alchemy as a way to observe the intermediary realm.

45:30 Openness to Reality
46:15 The meaning of computation, potential and act in unity
48:00 Necessity and contingency

1:04:20 Continuous and differentiable functions create a question
about how the before could be asymmetric to the after
1:08:00. Implications of a deterministic universe v. a cosmic boundary
Don't look for intelligence. Look for processes that act intelligently.
An intelligent process is one that acts based on a set of rules.
Any physical system that can mimic a system of rules.
