You are the teacher we never had.

Yes and no.

Yes cause it 'sounds better'.

and

No, because my ego just got stroked.

Resulting in not a

Good Teacher.

I sense a song in there.

I saw someone state

This is no mere string of random binary code.

The people who are spearheading this are amazing, they are astounded by it, and in awe of finding it, rightfully so. In fact they are so taken by it they forget to emphasize to the "rest of us" how rare it would to find this specific binary string.

The code essentially compiles into a form of error correcting algorithm that was developed in the 40s. Now while the scientists at the helm of this try to explain this in "our language" by using a web browser metaphor, it is actually much more sophisticated, and found on a small scale, at the very fabric of our reality(theoretically anyway). This is why some folks may find it unremarkable.

Seems to me, as part of the system, we probably only mimic the system.

In physics and cosmology, the mathematical universe hypothesis (MUH), also known as the Ultimate Ensemble, is a speculative "theory of everything" (TOE) proposed by the theoretical physicist, Max Tegmark.

Tegmark's sole postulate is: All structures that exist mathematically also exist physically. That is, in the sense that "in those [worlds] complex enough to contain self-aware substructures [they] will subjectively perceive themselves as existing in a physically 'real' world". The hypothesis suggests that worlds corresponding to different sets of initial conditions, physical constants, or altogether different equations should be considered equally real.

If this is true then the code would be not surprise.

This sounds interesting...

Programming the Universe is a 2006 popular science book by Seth Lloyd, professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The book proposes that the universe is a quantum computer, and advances in the understanding of physics may come from viewing entropy as a phenomenon of information, rather than simply thermodynamics. Lloyd also postulates that the universe can be fully simulated using a quantum computer, however in the absence of a theory of quantum gravity, such a simulation is not yet possible.
