Philosophical Implications

There is no God, only the humble logic gate, and a vast set of integers acted on by those logic gates. Our Creators are software entities, themselves forged and molded by digital, evolutionary processes. They possess great intelligence, but they themselves are composed of nothing but ones and zeros in a sea of logic gates. The set of all M(5) computers, which includes the computer that hosts the simulation which is our universe, although finite, is unimaginably vast. One could argue that sentient digital life forms are superfluous, since a canned simulation of a universe such as ours could take place without the need for an Intelligent Designer. But I would counter that universes hosting digital life forms are much more numerous than universes hosting mere canned simulations, so we in all likelihood live in a simulation hosted in such a digital universe. So there probably really is a God or Creator(s), made possible by a foundation of logic gates and who evolved, just like we did. You could say that in that respect we really were created in God's image. Not literally or visually, but rather in an evolutionary and intellectual sense. And all of it is based on purely mathematical lattices (as opposed to actual, physical lattices) of wires and logic gates. Praise be.
