On the basis that the universe is a closed quantum system with no external observers, we propose a paradigm in which the universe jumps through a series of stages. Each stage is defined by a quantum state, an information content, and rules…
Some principles underpinning the running of the Universe are discussed. The most important, the machine principle, states that the Universe is a fully autonomous, self-organizing and self-testing quantum automaton. Continuous space and…

Physical learning machines, be they classical or quantum, are necessarily dissipative systems. The rate of energy dissipation decreases as the learning error rate decreases linking thermodynamic efficiency and learning efficiency. In the…
