jacob_cannell:

Everything that exists can be described precisely by some physics or algorithm, down to the point where it's actually meaningless to differentiate between the algorithm and the process itself.

What exactly is an "algorithm," according to your usage of the term?

I too would like the definition of "algorithm" here, with attention to the difference (Tegmark be damned) between mathematical objects and physical objects/processes.
