Could matter and matter waves be derivable?

SUMMARY

The discussion explores the hypothesis that the universe may be composed of information processing elements, drawing parallels to advanced and retarded electromagnetic (EM) waves. The concept of spherical-mirror-like communication between particles suggests a complex feedback system, enabling echo(n)-rebroadcast mechanisms that could function similarly to a powerful CPU design. The potential for storing information in signals, akin to delay-lines in early computer memory, is also highlighted, raising questions about the impact of universal expansion on wave profiles and feedback processing dynamics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic wave theory
  • Familiarity with information processing concepts
  • Knowledge of feedback systems in physics
  • Basic principles of computer memory systems, such as delay-lines

USEFUL FOR

Physicists, computer scientists, and researchers interested in the intersection of information theory and physical phenomena, particularly those exploring novel computational models and wave dynamics.

Two EM waves, one propagating outwardly and one inwardly to a sink. Sounds like they're constructing anequivalent to advanced and retarded waves. Not exactly codswallop but not really too exciting either, for me.
 
Interesting feedback complexities - the matrix re-gilded?

The hypothesized spherical-mirror-like communication between 'particles'
seems to provide an interesting environment for information processing and signal broadcast/echo(n)-rebroadcast feedbacks.

Note that integrated echo(n)-rebroadcast feedbacks would occur mutually between all particles in the set in a very complex (and parallell-processor-powerful) feedback system of echoing and re-echoing waves.

It seems to suddenly open up the possibility the universe might be composed from a set of information processing elements, and simultaneously offer a powerful, maybe novel form of CPU design. (Have u noticed things are getting faster slower recently?).

FYI, it is possible to store information in a signal (send it to the moon and back, then detect, re-amplify and re-transmit (rewrite). Delay-lines were used as an early form of computer memory. Thus the system has memory as well as processing capability.

How would the expansion of the universe affect the ever-changing wave-profile of the whole 'organism' as it elaborated over time? Is the feedback processing likely to be at least partyl non-linear? Determinate or non-determinate?
