Bits:
"We keep ‘halving’ the halves of Universe until we refine out the desired bit. In four halvings you have eliminated 94 percent of irrelevant Universe. In seven halving you have removed 99.2 percent of irrelevant Universe. Operating as fast as multithousands of halvings per second, the computer ‘seems’ to produce ‘instantaneous’ answers.
“Thus we learn that our naturally spontaneous faculties for acquiring a comprehensive education make it easy to instruct the computer and thus to obtain its swift answers. Best of all, when we get the answers we have comprehensive awareness of the relative significance, utility, and beauty of the answers in respect to our general universal-evolution conceptioning.”
