Digital AKA Digitization
The process of artificially converting information that is in a casual or fluid state of wholeness via into a system of binary numbers, thus discretely divesting it from its source. Early digital devices included the abacus, a tool for complex calculation generally thought to have been developed by ancient Babylonians. Beginning in the mid-20th-century, the drive towards digitalization was largely the result of technologies developed by Ma Bell, including torpedo control systems, digital speech scrambling circa World War II, and the first digital art application in 1962 [1]. By 1999, more information was stored in digital than analog form. Although spiritual leaders, especially those following some form of the Dharma, often liken digitization to a virus of meaningless - a turn away from fundamental reality further plunging humanity into a funhouse world of construct and abstract concept, there do exist in the physical world digital corollaries. In fact, the black hole information paradox/holographic universe model posits that the world itself is simply a two-dimensional plane of information giving rise to the illusion of dimensionality. In more basic terms, DNA is itself a digital system, lending credence to the claims that our biological reality is, if not a simulation, certainly designed and generated in a manor far advanced of but similar to rudimentary cyberspace.
