Index Entry
Once you state what your realistic optimum recognition of totality consists of, then you will find how many bits or subdivision stages it will take to isolate any items within that totality. It is like the childhood game of Twenty Questions: You start by saying, ‘Is it physical or metaphysical?’ Next: ‘Is it animate or inanimate?’ (One bit.) ‘Is it big or little?’ (Two bits.) ‘Is it hot or cold?’ (Three bits.) It takes only a few bits to find out what you want. When we use bit subdivision to ferret out the components of our problems, we do exactly what the computer is designed to do.
