Reality is a self-fulfilling algorithm

IMHO:An aspect of this short passage is, to my reading, tautological. If the language of the universe is a self-fulfilling algorithm, it would not be possible to act against it. Thus whether a particular action is for or against the 'telos' is irrelevant given that any action is guided by a deterministic, algorithmic process.The unnecessarily complex language masks a weak central argument equitable to determinism (in this passage). A high IQ has no bearing on the quality of an argument. That being said, perhaps there is more clarity in the actual, full text.

From what I've gathered it seems plausible but lacking in necessary evidence. It's overlapping a grey area of Science and Philosophy which is completely fine but it's going to require a lot more observable evidence before Academics of any field would begin to remotely accept this model. At the moment it sounds more like Pseudoscience with Un-falsifiable points. Interesting but i would take it with a grain of salt.

IMO reality would have to be more than an algorithm. An algorithm all by itself would have no effect. It would just be an abstraction without exemplification in objective fact. Mathematics is ABOUT a material reality that can be added together, subtracted, multiplied and divided. Quantity has to apply to discrete objectively-existing quanta. Algorithms only make sense in a realm where events and objects can be ordered and causally determined. There has to be a raw preexisting substrate for that order to be imposed upon.
