Quote: “Time is the inexorable (inevitable) progress of computation.”
- 🤔Time as progression using the current iteration of a systems' state as input, to compute the next incremental state as output…is a satisfactory way of framing it
  - Because: Feedback loop
Quote: “If we think about things in the world, as being governed by rules, then what happens in the course of time, is those rules get applied. The thing that changes through time, is that we’ve applied these rules more, and more, and more times.”

“Proof of…thermodynamics”
- Because of how entropy relates to music production and synthesis (noise + entropy)
  - More specifically noise generators
  - Behavior of analog/physical hardware/systems
My conviction that music software/plugins would benefit from more entropic/irreversible noise and random function generators
🚅 Me perceiving everything as connected:
- As interlinked system of systems
  - All sharing the same set of first principles
    - ❓A framing I prefer over rules, because it encourages a more ‘natural’ approach to think about systems?
